Formed in 2005 and hailing from Osaka, BURNOUT SYNDROMES is a three-piece rock band that calls itself a “youth literature rock band.” They have frequently performed theme songs for anime such as Haikyu!! and Gintama., so even if you’re not a music enthusiast, anime fans may have heard their tracks.

They produce a wide range of songs, from upbeat, high-energy tracks to rock ballads tinged with melancholy.

BURNOUT SYNDROMES「LOSTTIME」MV

Wrapped in a wistful sound, the music flows forward without being constrained by existing frameworks like verse, pre-chorus, and chorus, giving the sensation of reading rather than listening to a song.

“With a dancing Marseille turn, the stadium now sways.” Be sure to listen with the vividly immersive, literary-tinged lyric sheet in hand.

BURNOUT SYNDROMES ~i am Beethoven~

With numerous tempo changes and dizzyingly complex developments, it boasts a classical musicality worthy of its title.

The layered three-part chorus is highly catchy, and the songwriting prowess—unbelievable for a young band—can only be described as remarkable.

BURNOUT SYNDROMES ~i am a HERO~

Starting with clean guitars and a beautiful melody woven with falsetto, the song feels quite different from what the title suggests.

Then, with a semitone key change in the chorus, the sound gains explosive power, while the lyrics remain quintessentially them—cynical and self-deprecating, declaring, “Unfortunately, I was never your heroine.” The ending, where the guitar marks the time like a clock, links perfectly with the lyrics, making it a track with a very clear thematic focus.

BURNOUT SYNDROMES “Literature Girl” Music Video

Released in 2015, this track brims with guitarist-vocalist Kumagai’s literary sensibility.

The rapid-fire, overlapping narration shouting the titles of great authors’ works, paired with evocative lines in the chorus—such as “I just hope this line in the final scene won’t reach anyone but you” and “The bruise on your wrist was so beautiful”—make it a remarkable song.

The music video, which centers around text and uses it to strong effect, is also excellent.

BURNOUT SYNDROMES ~Fall/Rise~

The lyrics tell the story of a boy who, after much brooding, jumps from a rooftop and takes his own life.

Yet it conveys no sense of darkness at all; the way he refers to himself—the suicide victim—as a “birdman” is deeply painful and somehow evokes a fragile poignancy.

It’s the ultimate tearjerker.
