MONGOL800’s classic and popular songs

MONGOL800 is a three-piece rock band from Okinawa.

With undeniably classic songs like “Chiisana Koi no Uta” and “Anata ni,” many people likely covered them when they first started their own bands.

The masterpiece “MESSAGE,” which includes the two songs above, was released while they were in college.

When you think about it, it’s remarkable that an album released by a college band became a million seller.

Please enjoy the music of a group that supported the early days of Japan’s melodic hardcore scene.

Since all the lyrics are in English, it might be a song that’s hard to sing and understand.

However, because it has an up-tempo melody, I think it would definitely liven things up if you played or sang it at a celebration.

Also, if you can sing it, it’s the kind of song that will make you look really cool.

The Okinawa-born rock band MONGOL800 released the album “Message” in September 2001.

It’s so beloved in Okinawa that it’s even used as a chant by the professional soccer club FC Ryukyu.

Listen to it, and you’ll surely feel hope for tomorrow welling up inside you.
