When it comes to My Hair’s appeal, their high-energy, fast-paced songs blasted at full volume tend to get the spotlight, but these emo tracks tinged with a certain melancholy are also incredibly popular, aren’t they?

Home Town

This song, packed with hometown love for Joetsu City in Niigata Prefecture, is one of the tracks included on the album “boys,” released in June 2019.

By mentioning former friends and the shops they used to visit by name, the lyrics move back and forth between past and present, stirring up the hometown scenes in the listener’s heart.

The part where Shiiki packs in words almost like a rap is striking, and the style feels fresh—rather than following a melody, it speaks to you on the rhythm.

Cherished by fans as a song that conveys the band’s roots, this is a deeply beloved track.

The vocal range itself isn’t wide, but there are lots of words, so the trick is to lock into the rhythm when you sing it.

Progressing like a story, the piece leaves a profound afterglow, as if you’ve just watched a short film.

The emotionally charged band performance unfolding at a mid-tempo is also superb—the quiet intro building to a chorus where feelings overflow is a must-hear.
