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!

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.

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.
