ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION 'Live in the Moment'

Formed within Kanto Gakuin University’s light music club, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION—affectionately known as Ajikan—is a four-piece rock band.

This is their 19th single.

The song debuted at No.

10 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and is also known as the theme song for the film “Yokomichi Yonosuke.” Starting with a tom-driven phrase on the drums, its shuffle beat and characteristically Ajikan catchy melody lift your spirits.

The message—”treasure this very moment”—set to a brisk rhythm helps ease feelings of discouragement.

It’s a track you’ll want to play when you’ve pushed yourself too hard, are feeling down, and need to let your shoulders relax.

A New WorldASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION9rank/position

Asian Kung-Fu Generation – Atarashii Sekai (Live)

There are mornings when you just feel like, “Ugh, I don’t want to leave the house…” Right? On days like that, I recommend “A New World.” The lively, forward-driving guitar riff in the intro is guaranteed to make you think, “I’ve gotta give it my all too!” The lyrics carry a message like, “Who cares what others think? Dive into the new world only you can create,” blowing away any hazy, stuck feelings.

Goto’s vocals, which almost sound nonchalantly cool, will surely give you strength! By the way, Goto cites Oasis’s “Live Forever” as an influential track.

If you’re curious, give that one a listen too!

March of the LivingASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION10rank/position

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION 'March of the Living'

The song I’d like to introduce as one that stays close to the sense of loss and grief after losing someone dear is “Seija no March” (March of the Living).

It’s performed by the rock band ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION.

While they’re known for many up-tempo tracks, this one is a ballad with a laid-back feel that makes you want to listen at night.

Pay attention to the lyrics, which prompt you to reflect on what life is and how precious it is.

I think you’ll feel just a little more positive after listening.

On the sandASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION11rank/position

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION Masafumi Gotoh Suna no Ue

This song, Suna no Ue (On the Sand), was created by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s frontman, Masafumi Gotoh, with a wish for recovery after the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Gotoh wrote and composed the song himself, and single-handedly handled the recording using a battery-powered keyboard, an acoustic guitar, and his own handclaps.

When people are lost or anxious, they’re often just doing their best to get through the present, and even thinking about the future can be painful.

This number is meant to let a bit of wind into those feelings—a song that gives you a small reason to look forward.

EmpathyASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION12rank/position

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Empathy” Music Video

Empathy, released as the first installment of ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s 25th-anniversary projects, was also chosen as the theme song for the My Hero Academia feature film.

From the very first notes, the delicate guitar tones sink in.

The melody line is beautiful, and the pleasantly soothing chorus makes you want to close your eyes and just listen.

Even after the song ends, a refreshing afterglow lingers, leaving you with a strangely bright, uplifting feeling.
