MY FIRST STORY's famous songs and recommended popular tracks
Let me introduce some songs by MY FIRST STORY, a band active in the loud rock scene with roots in emo and screamo.
Their exceptional vocals, visuals, and cool songwriting are all outstanding, and it’s easy to see why they’re so popular.
As many of you may know, the vocalist Hiro is the younger brother of ONE OK ROCK’s vocalist Taka, and the son of enka singers Shinichi Mori and Masako Mori.
Some people say he benefits from his parents’ and brother’s fame, but even without that, I believe they’re a band with the talent to earn popularity on their own.
