Just when you think it starts with a Latin-sounding guitar phrase, what you hear is Spanish.

That’s right—this is a cover of the Latin group, Grupo Semilla.

The lyrical Latin scales suit Brahman very well.

The Tripod QuestionBRAHMAN5rank/position

BRAHMAN "The Tripod Question"

A track included on BRAHMAN’s fifth album, Superkoku, which drew attention as the band’s first album where, aside from covers, all original songs have Japanese titles and Japanese lyrics.

The intro, a guitar arpeggio that’s pop yet tinged with melancholy set to a triple meter, immediately grabs your heart.

From the title, which means “to doubt those in power,” you get the sense of witnessing a history in which people of every era have repeatedly questioned the qualities of their leaders.

With its powerful message and lyrical words and melody that stir the soul, this number conveys the depth of the band BRAHMAN.

Answer For…BRAHMAN6rank/position

Answer For…

A track that brilliantly allows a band style—one that fuses mixture sound with ethnic music, which is hard to picture at first glance—to coexist within a single song.

It’s a song recorded during their indie-era masterpiece “A MAN OF THE WORLD” and rerecorded for their 7th album “ETERNAL RECURRENCE,” and you can really feel the impact in the contrast between the verse and the chorus.

Changing the mood and tempo multiple times within a performance is a demanding arrangement that’s tough for many bands unless their breathing is perfectly in sync, yet they execute it flawlessly live as well—this number showcases the caliber of the band BRAHMAN.
