BIGMAMA “Hide-and-Seek” MV @BIGMAMA_jp

A sense of loss over a loved one, conveyed through childhood games.

It’s a gentle, consoling song that softly asks “Ready or not?” to someone precious who has vanished from before your eyes.

Set to a beautiful violin melody, it portrays—with a clear, pure vocal—the relationship with someone who has closed their heart, and the lonely feeling of having lost sight of their emotions.

This piece is included on the album “and yet, it moves: The Proper Way to Turn the Earth,” released in November 2009.

It will deeply resonate with those who have experienced sudden farewells or loss, or who feel a distance growing in their hearts.

BIGMAMA “Secret” MV @BIGMAMA_jp

BIGMAMA’s song “Himitsu” (Secret) portrays deep love and sorrow for a beloved person who has passed away.

It expresses candid emotions sung to someone with whom the singer shared a bond so intimate that they could confide things to no one else.

Masato Kanai’s clear, translucent vocals, resonating alongside the beautiful, enveloping tones of the violin, carry these feelings across.

The song overflows with the resolve to overcome the pain of partings that everyone faces in life.

Please listen with thoughts of remembrance for someone you can no longer meet.

Wild Rhapsody “New World”BIGMAMA3rank/position

BIGMAMA “Arachikyoku ‘Shinsekai’” MV

I think this is BIGMAMA’s most famous song.

BIGMAMA’s style is close to pop and they have many calmer tracks, but when this song starts, the mood changes and it gets intense.

Also, since they incorporate classical music into rock, it’s different from typical Japanese rock, giving it originality and making it extremely cool.

BIGMAMA “Let it beat” Music video

This work, which carries words that shine a light of hope over an open, expansive sound, is a single released in March 2022.

The song was created as the theme for Kansai TV’s horse racing program “Keiba BEAT.” It’s infused with a powerful message that pushes forward those who are chasing their dreams.

Kanai’s vocals, resonating within the dramatic soundscape, are truly wonderful.

When you’re about to take a new step, this song will lend you strength.

Spring is like the windBIGMAMA5rank/position

BIGMAMA’s “Spring Like the Wind” is a song that recalls the various seasons spent with a lover.

It’s included on the 2013 album Kimi Omou, Yue ni Ware Ari.

The lyrics paint days filled with joyful memories in every season, when one’s heart was overflowing with love for that special person.

But those days will never return, and remembering the happiness of that time brings a touch of melancholy.

Spring, a season of many farewells, can make us feel a bit sentimental, can’t it? When parting ways after happy times, this song will be there to comfort you.

BIGMAMA “As God Says featuring FM802” MV

Included on the 2015 album “The Vanishing Bride.” A five-piece rock band that debuted in 2006.

This track is truly striking, featuring vocals that sing with a refreshing clarity over a sound where a rhythm section laying down a simple, straightforward beat blends seamlessly with noisy guitars.

#DIV/0!BIGMAMA7rank/position

BIGMAMA “# DIV/0!” MV @BIGMAMA_jp

It’s a rock number with strikingly dark lyrics.

For this song, I especially want you to pay attention to the lyrics and the music video’s expression.

In the chorus, the numbers count down from 9 to 1, and from 4 onward, one member disappears from the screen with each count.

The fragile singing voice of the last remaining member, vocalist Kanai, pierces deeply into the heart.
