The Cro-Magnons “Eight Beat”

The fourth single by the Japanese rock band The Cro-Magnons, released on May 21, 2008.

It’s an upbeat, catchy punk rock number, and you don’t need any nitpicky reasoning to sing this song! The vocal part is crafted to make the singer Hiroto Kōmoto’s rich, low voice sound as appealing as possible—truly a track for low-voiced guys… for low-voiced rock guys!! Don’t sweat the small stuff—just enjoy “singing” and “letting your voice out” to the fullest!

The Cro-Magnons “Number One Guy!”

This commercial, aired in 2011, was a collaboration with the movie Star Wars and features Yoda.

It’s a compelling ad with a powerful message, as Yoda speaks about the importance of believing in oneself.

The background music is “Number One Guy!” by The Cro-Magnons.

Released in 2011, the song’s lyrics describe repeatedly getting back up and striving to become number one, making it an uplifting anthem that gives listeners courage.

The Cro-Magnons “Paper Airplane”

The Cro-Magnons’ classic song “Paper Airplane.” It was released in 2007, but it still enjoys strong support from fans.

Speaking of The Cro-Magnons, their punk rock sound and Hiroto Kōmoto’s straightforward vocals are striking, right? That aspect is of course one of the charms of “Paper Airplane” as well, but the lyrics are also incredibly good.

Masatoshi Mashima’s childlike—in the best sense—lyrics help you remember something you’d almost forgotten.

The Cro-Magnons 'Live'

The ending theme song “Ikiru” from the drama “Mr.

Hiiragi’s Homeroom” starring Masaki Suda is the 17th single, released in 2018.

The drama itself was a bit scary, but the yearbook-style visuals set to this track felt like a lovely page of youth, creating a curious balance.

From the very first line, the song has a strong Cro-Magnons flavor, and it’s straight-ahead punk rock that hasn’t changed since their debut single—no, even from before then.

With its fierce beat and messages that hit you in the heart, it’s a number that makes you think, “Punk is awesome!”

The Cro-Magnons - Hirakippanashi - Drum Cover

This song, Hirakippanashi, which was used in a commercial for Kao’s Attack Neo, is included as the seventh track on their fifth album Oi! Um bobo, released in November 2010.

It’s a short piece of about two and a half minutes, but it’s packed with lyric phrasings characteristic of Masatoshi Mashima and the aggressive, hard-hitting stance typical of The Cro-Magnons.

Since it was used in a commercial, many people have likely heard it, making it quite a popular track.

The Cro-Magnons 'Flame'

Rather than a fiercely blazing fire, it’s a song where you feel the heat of a crackling, quietly burning flame.

It seems to depict the relationship between Hiroto Kōmoto and Masatoshi Mashima, who have weathered the times together—then again, it could be taken as a love song.

Interpretations vary, but it’s a track that portrays passionate human drama.

Tally-hoZa Kuromaniyonzu7rank/position

The Cro-Magnons “Tallyho”

After THE HIGH-LOWS announced a hiatus in November 2005 and went inactive, The Cro-Magnons made a surprise appearance the following year, 2006.

“Tally-Ho” is their debut single.

Hiroto & Marcy’s third band together once again turned out to be an eight-beat punk band.

With a simple beat and a simple melody, it’s a rock tune as primitive, powerful, and bursting with vitality as their Cro-Magnon name suggests!
