[Alexandros] – Philosophy (MV)

Introducing a special song born from NHK’s program project “18-sai.” Released by [Alexandros] in January 2020, this track was created to perform together with 1,000 youths aged 17 to 19.

Based on videos submitted under the theme of “your own kind of cool,” Yohei Kawakami wrote and composed the piece, building an overwhelming sense of momentum across its approximately six-minute length.

The phrases are designed with choral parts and call-and-response in mind, clearly made for everyone to raise their voices together at a live show.

The original version was first included on the best-of album “Where’s My History?” released in March 2021, allowing listeners to enjoy a chorus arrangement that differs from the streaming version.

Perfect for a graduation live performance, this work conveys the importance of continually updating your personal values at a major life milestone.

Sing it together with the audience, and it’s sure to become an unforgettable stage.

A winter song by [Alexandros] where bittersweet melancholy and elation intersect.

Released in February 2017 as their 14th single, it was featured as the CM song for JR East’s JR SKISKI 2016–2017 campaign.

From the intro, the driving sound evocative of ’90s digital rock is striking, and vocalist Yohei Kawakami’s upper range accentuates winter’s crystalline clarity.

The lyrics reflect the creator’s own emotions, delicately portraying a love that overlaps with snowy scenery.

In the music video, snow is created with foam for a visual effect, further expressing a romantic winter worldview.

It’s the perfect track for strolling through illuminated streets or spending a winter night with someone special.

This is a recommended track for anyone aiming for a slightly sexy, grown-up Halloween party.

Inspired by the vampire—a classic Halloween character—it portrays a thrilling romance with a mysterious partner who exudes a dangerous allure.

By likening the partner to Dracula, it sensually expresses a woman’s desire to have her unstable self embraced entirely.

The song was included on the band’s first major-label release, a double A-side single issued in March 2015.

It was also used as the theme song for the drama “Onna Kudoki Meshi” and can be found on the album “ALXD.” With its driving rock sound and unique production touches, it’s guaranteed to make your Halloween night cool and exciting.

It’s a sleek, urban, and cool sound, yet it carries a powerful intensity that fires up the listener.

The message, painstakingly refined—so much so that Yohei Kawakami said it took the longest in his lyricist career—seems to sing of a steadfast conviction found beyond doubt and inner conflict.

The track is included on the November 2018 album Sleepless in Brooklyn.

It’s a song that will surely give you a push when you’re facing a major obstacle.

Year-end songs from 12/26 onward

The song to quietly reflect on at year’s end, “Year-End Song After 12/26,” feels especially dear from December 26 onward! It’s a track by the irresistibly charismatic rock band [Alexandros], from the classic album “Schwarzenegger” released during their [Champagne] era.

While contrasting the hectic end-of-year bustle, the lyrics gently look back on the past year and really hit home.

It’s a song you’ll want to sing as if digesting those hazy, undefined emotions, all while being soothed by its relaxed acoustic feel.

Though it includes reflective themes, whether you’ve been rushing around or taking things at your own pace, be sure to praise yourself for all you’ve accomplished this year.
