ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION　『Loser』

Known by the nickname “Ajikan,” ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION is a four-piece rock band whose fiery, straightforward rock sound thrills fans.

Their cover of Beck’s “Loser,” with Japanese lyrics, makes a strong impact through its unique atmosphere and catchy melody.

Rather than a simple Japanese translation, the lyrics are cynical in a way that evokes contemporary Japan, delivering a sharp edge that many will find instantly relatable.

It’s a track that showcases a different side of Ajikan’s appeal compared to their original songs.

This is a richly flavored rock number that portrays the difficulty and preciousness of exchanging words through the universal theme of “dialogue.” Layers of gentle tones blend with ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s characteristically crisp band ensemble, quietly yet powerfully resonating in the listener’s heart.

Released in October 2020 as a double A-side single, it also drew attention for being recorded at a London studio in 2019.

The track was later included on the album Planet Folks.

Masafumi Gotoh’s vocals deliver each word with care, making it a song that gently stays with you when you find yourself reflecting on the distance between people.

A masterpiece that marks where ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION stands today—be sure to give it a listen.

Flashback – Asian Kung Fu Generation

A song by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, the four-piece rock band known by the nickname Ajikan, whose straightforward rock sound thrills audiences at live shows and festivals.

It’s a track from their first album “Kimi Tsunagi Five M,” and despite its short length, the fast-paced, distinctly Ajikan-style arrangement is undeniably cool.

In the backing parts, switch between tight passages and more strummed sections to create contrast—especially keep this in mind when playing in a band ensemble.

The technique itself is simple, but the tempo is fast, so be careful not to fall behind the rhythm.

A New WorldASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION39rank/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!

Backed by a mid-tempo, powerfully pulsing beat and a hard rock–tinged melody line, the vocals hit you straight between the eyes.
