ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION 'Bicycle Race'

This is a track from the album “Landmark,” released on September 12, 2012.

It’s an uplifting song that encourages you to follow your own path without being defeated by loneliness or solitude.

In the music video, feelings like confusion, conflict, and fear are likened to a rusty old bicycle, showing it moving forward despite being worn out.

Asian Kung-Fu Generation – My World [Live]

It’s a song by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION that seems to capture summer memories and the scenery unfolding before your eyes.

While it has a calm atmosphere with a relaxed tempo, you can still feel the power of the band’s sound.

The lyrics, which incorporate words that strongly evoke summer—like fireworks and the sea—are striking, conveying not only the brightness of summer landscapes but also the fleeting nature of youth that passes in an instant.

It’s a track that conveys a wish to cherish the summertime.

Rewrite (2016 ver.)ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION54rank/position

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Rewrite (2016 ver.)”

A four-piece rock band formed in 1996 in the light music club at Kanto Gakuin University, celebrating 25 years together in 2021.

Their rock sound, often categorized as grunge or alternative, combined with straightforward, delicate lyrics that evoke vivid scenes and landscapes, has earned overwhelming support, especially among younger listeners.

Many of their songs pair simple yet robust instrumentation with catchy melodies, making them a rock band whose music naturally draws in even those who don’t usually listen to rock.

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.

GrasshopperASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION56rank/position

Grasshopper

Asian Kung-Fu Generation’s cover of “Grasshopper.” The intro and other parts largely follow Spitz’s version.

The main sonic differences are the swirling synthesizer and a slightly slower tempo.

But the biggest surprise is that the chorus isn’t sung by Gotch—guitarist Kensuke Kita takes the lead.

This gives it an unmistakable Masamune Kusano-from-Spitz vibe! Originally included on a tribute album, this cover exudes deep respect for the original.

Asian Kung Fu Generation World World World + Atarashii Sekai Music Video

Although it’s the title track of the fourth album, it’s a very short piece, just over a minute long.

Born from a pre-show jam session, it preserves each member’s individuality as is, resulting in a track that, in a sense, epitomizes ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION.

Waltz of CiphersASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION58rank/position

AKFG – Waltz of Ciphercodes “Angō no Waltz” - Sub Spanish

The first track on the album “Funclub,” a song that sets the tone for the record.

As the title suggests, it starts as a waltz and suddenly shifts to 4/4 time in the chorus.

Its curious sense of rhythm makes it an addictive number.

De ArribaASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION59rank/position

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION 『De Arriba』Music Video

It’s a rock track with a looping sound that blends unease and exhilaration, drawing you in before you know it.

The lyrics, crafted with ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s signature sharp perspective, cut deeply into the hearts of those of us living in modern society.

While it addresses themes like division on social media and the difficulty of dialogue, Masafumi Gotoh’s vocals carry a certain gentleness, leaving room for the listener to reflect.

Featured on the album “Planet Folks,” released in March 2022, this song isn’t a tie-in, but it’s cherished as a key piece of the work—its music video was released in May of the same year.

It has even opened their live tour sets, making it a gem you’ll want to play on nights when you want to fully immerse yourself in sound.

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION “Little Lennon / Small Lennon (Born in 1976 ver.)” Music Video

The classic song from the 2015 album “Wonder Future” has been reborn under the production of Shigeru Kishida from Quruli.

With talents of the same generation colliding, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s signature tough guitar rock is joined by a lavish orchestra, resulting in a sound brimming with celebratory energy.

The exhilarating blend of the band’s performance and orchestral instruments is a must-hear! Released in May 2025 as the single “MAKUAKE / Little Lennon,” this work appears alongside the track chosen as a festival theme song, adding a flourish to the milestone of the event’s return.

It’s perfect for when you want to feel pumped up or refresh your mood.

It will resonate not only with longtime fans who have followed them for years but also with new listeners just discovering their music.

Give it a listen!
