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.

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION 'Fujisawa Loser'

Set to a powerful sound, this song portrays the everyday life and struggles of working adults, with a touch of comedy.

Released as a single in 2008, it was also included on the album “Surf Bungaku Kamakura” later that same year.

Despite the driving, forceful feel of the music, the lyrics are relatively sparse, giving the impression that you can sing it relaxedly while still valuing the words and emotions.

In just under three minutes, it delivers emotions born from ordinary daily moments in a direct, straightforward way.

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Empathy” Music Video

This is the 28th single by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, written as the theme song for the third feature film of the hugely popular anime series, “My Hero Academia THE MOVIE: World Heroes’ Mission.” Released in August 2021, the song centers on the theme of “empathy”—imagining the pain and perspectives of others—and Masafumi Gotoh’s lyrics strike deep.

It’s a driving guitar rock track, yet its finely crafted arrangement, layered with diverse tones, gives it a fresh resonance.

Also included on the album “Planet Folks,” this masterpiece is the kind of song that can give you the courage to move forward when you’re struggling with your sense of distance from society or spending a night wishing to understand someone.
