Their first EP after making their major debut, and their first release after switching labels.

It was created during a period when vocalist Mishima was going through a tough time mentally, and that inner struggle is expressed very directly.

He has even commented, “Making this song saved me,” and it’s said to have become an important song for cinema staff as well.

Coupled with the atmosphere of the music video, it gives a very pure and sincere impression.

One of the lead tracks from the 5th album “eve.” It seems the end of “YOUR SONG,” which appears earlier on the album, connects directly to the beginning of this track.

The music video is set in a school, and the song evokes a strong sense of nostalgia.

A track included on the 1st full album “cinema staff,” it’s an emotional rock number that isn’t overly intense.

It opens with a striking message: “We can make this work.” The concise lyrics are incredibly powerful, and the high level of musicianship paired with a groovy sound is really cool.

Like “Behind,” this is the lead track from the Vektor E.P., released on November 30, 2016.

Unlike “Behind,” it has a certain sharp edge to it.

With its catchy melody line, once you hear it, you won’t be able to forget it and will find yourself humming along.

It’s included on the 4th full album “blueprint,” released on April 22, 2015.

The guitar phrase in the intro is short yet striking and really shines.

The groove in the chorus feels great.

The lyrics are captivating, and the slightly bittersweet lines resonate in the heart.

Included on their 2nd mini album, “Symmetoronica.” The fiercely intense performance by the band—almost overpowering the vocals—is highly memorable.

Then, just when you think you’ve got it pinned down, the playing suddenly drops to a hush, shaking the listener’s heart back and forth—perfectly living up to the title.

The lead track from the E.P.

“Vektor E.P.” released on November 30, 2016.

The music video leaves a dreamlike impression with its beautiful red-and-blue contrast.

In contrast to the heavy, gritty sound, the vocals feature long tones and somewhat sustained melodic lines, which may also be reflected in the music video.
