A Day on the PlanetACIDMAN9rank/position

ACIDMAN – Formula Day

This work follows “REMIND” and “UNFOLD” in a trilogy representing the three primary colors of light, and it is the title track of ACIDMAN’s 15th single.

It’s a pop number that evokes a fresh, gentle green and overflows with exhilaration.

Brimming with the freshness that feels like the very breath of new light being born, it showcases their hallmark—beautiful melodies and sound—to the fullest and stands as one of their signature songs.

With this track, they made their first appearances on TV Asahi’s popular music program Music Station and on NHK General’s MUSIC JAPAN.

ACIDMAN – The Night the World Ends

ACIDMAN is a rock band that has long led the alternative rock scene in Japanese music.

You often see them performing songs like “Akadai” at live shows and music festivals.

Among their tracks, a standout recommendation is “The Night the World Ends,” released in 2014.

It explores grand themes like the universe and life, giving it the appeal of an art piece.

The classical elements layered onto their simple, powerful band sound are also striking.

Even if you’ve seen them at a festival but don’t know many of their other songs, give this one a listen.

Stay in my handACIDMAN11rank/position

ACIDMAN – Stay in my hand

This is the title track of ACIDMAN’s 24th single, a song that bursts forward from an intro driven by an aggressive sound.

It’s a no-frills masterpiece where the powerful yet transparent voice of guitarist-vocalist Nobuo Oki and the simple arrangement unique to a three-piece band truly resonate.

In particular, the classic structure—dropping down in the bridge (C-melo) and reaching a peak at the final chorus—shines in this track, and the music video matches that tension, growing increasingly frenzied as it races toward the end.

MillenniumACIDMAN13rank/position

Acidman – Millennium MV

A classic Japanese rock song by ACIDMAN that boosts a stylish sound and outstanding mood, featuring a lyrical approach with a modern, loud impression.

The familiar, easy-on-the-ear vocals carry a strong presence, making it a cool track that’s also perfect for autumn.

the year 2145ACIDMAN14rank/position

ACIDMAN – Year 2145

It’s a single track set in an SF world where the protagonist is a robot that has acquired a heart.

It forges the flow from “The Year 2045,” which closes out the 8th album ALMA, into “Wonderland.” The beauty, complexity, warmth, and weight of the heart—so many elements are carried by the music and expressed in just under five minutes with a level of mastery that is nothing short of breathtaking.

The music video faithfully recreates the world depicted in the lyrics, becoming a moving work that goes far beyond a typical MV.

Be sure to watch the powerful performance by Nozomi the Robot, one of Japan’s leading performers.
