BLUE ENCOUNT “DAY×DAY” [TV Tokyo anime “Gintama°” opening theme] <Trailer Video>

This rock tune by the band BLUE ENCOUNT is a track where the interplay between drums, bass, and guitar feels incredibly satisfying.

Rather than just playing your own part, try to keep in mind that you’re performing a single song as a band.

This song’s lyrics are mostly in English.

It’s got a rock sound, so you can enjoy it just for the groove, but the occasional Japanese lines give it that Blue Encount flavor, so I recommend listening while reading the lyrics.

It’s a track that really captures Blue Encount’s signature vibe.

The bass line shifts to match the ensemble’s vibe, creating contrast across the song while holding down the bottom end with a distinct presence.

It’s a modern rock tune whose solid yet emotional arrangement pairs perfectly with the bass phrasing.
