A popular pop-funky song by MONKEY MAJIK. A masterpiece that cherishes Japanese style (21–30)
Open HappinessMONKEY MAJIK
As the song for Japan Coca-Cola’s “Happiness Factory 3” commercial, it uses the campaign’s slogan “Open Happiness” directly as its title.
Since it’s an original song written for the ad, it’s a very happy and fun track, so I highly recommend it.
A.I. am HumanMONKEY MAJIK
Included on the album “enigma,” released March 21, 2018.
Theme song for the 3DCG animation “CYBORG009 CALL OF JUSTICE.” A track distinguished by its intro that evokes a near-future world, featuring emotionless vocals and melody.
A medium-tempo song themed around the coexistence of A.I.
and humans.
FlyMONKEY MAJIK
This is MONKEY MAJIK’s first major-label single.
The music video that uses reverse playback is uniquely entertaining.
The acoustic guitar’s tone feels great, and the perfectly synchronized harmonies of the frontman brothers are moving.
LilyMONKEY MAJIK
Included on MONKEY MAJIK’s album “Lily,” released on February 9, 2005.
The song, which begins with a quiet, calm guitar intro, portrays a breakup from a male perspective.
Centered around the motif of “lies,” it’s a slow-tempo farewell tune.
footprint(s)MONKEY MAJIK
Included on MONKEY MAJIK’s seventh album “Somewhere Out There,” released on March 7, 2012.
Served as the theme song for Fuji TV’s “Gladiolus no Wadachi: Road to London.” An encouraging song that reflects on childhood, when we moved forward without fearing failure even as we now find ourselves giving up more often, and urges us to hold on to those feelings and reach for our dreams.
Its warm, medium-tempo sound makes for a comforting track.
AkariMONKEY MAJIK
MONKEY MAJIK’s 8th single.
Released on April 23, 2008.
A slow-tempo friendship song that speaks to a friend lost in the darkness of sorrow: “Shall I light a lamp?” “You’re not alone.” It’s a song you’ll want to send when you want to say something but can’t find the right words.
5.30MONKEY MAJIK
Included on MONKEY MAJIK’s album “SPADE,” released on September 22, 2004.
It’s a song that opens with a slightly melancholic guitar intro, depicting someone who, while understanding they don’t know how long it will last, still seeks smiles within a pretentious “dress.”
