A four-piece band, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, who built a new standard for Japanese rock on a foundation of emo and alternative rock.

This track appears on their 2006 album “Fanclub,” and is notable for its piano intro that quotes a classical masterpiece.

Though it runs over six minutes and twenty seconds, its dramatic structure—shifting from silence to intense sound—draws you in so completely that it never feels long.

The lyrics, which evoke the stillness after a sudden downpour and the loneliness of harboring feelings that don’t reach their destination, seep deeply into the listener’s heart.

Embracing a sense of loss while striving to live on, the song is imbued with earnest emotion.

If you sing it with feeling in its subdued atmosphere, it’s sure to leave a profound afterglow in the air.

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.

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “I Want to Touch, I Want to Be Sure (feat. Moeka Shiozuka)” Lyric Video

Featuring Moeka Shiotsuka from Hitsujibungaku as a guest vocalist, this track strikes the heart with its poignant yet warm interplay of voices.

The unique sense of weightless drift created by the blend of Masafumi Gotoh’s and Shiotsuka’s vocals gently accompanies the listener’s heart.

Released as a single in October 2020, it also drew attention as the theme song for Daihatsu’s Tanto commercial.

Though the recording was actually done in London in 2019, it’s hard not to feel a sense of fate in how the subsequent social climate came to resonate with the song’s lyrical world.

Also included on the album Planet Folks, this piece is perfect for nights spent thinking of someone dear or as a calm soundtrack for a quiet drive.

Savor this sweet pop song that opened a new door for the band.

A calm track by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION that evokes an afternoon by the seaside.

It’s a somewhat wistful piece, as if you’re on a train gazing at the sea and reflecting on your travel memories.
