Graduation

Gagaga SP, a youth punk rock band that continues to radiate the same appeal they had back in the day.

Their fiery, high-energy performances and gut-punching messages and vocals have captivated fans’ hearts from then until now.

This song, their major-label debut single released in 2002, was also used as the theme song for the film “Bokunchi.” The lyrics depict a man trying to cut off his feelings for someone he loves, and the clumsy way he struggles to move forward while unable to let go tightens your chest.

With its exhilarating punk sound and real, everyday-language message, it’s perfect for the season of farewells.

For those whose unrequited love didn’t come true, or who are parting ways with someone they like upon graduation, this is a song that will pierce your heart in the most painful way.

Festival preparationsgagaga supi4rank/position

Gagaga SP “Preparation for the Festival” LIVE — 2014.03.09 @ Shibuya Chelsea Hotel

Festivals aren’t just fun on the day itself—the preparation is exciting too, right? And nothing stirs up that feeling more than “Matsuri no Junbi” (“Festival Preparations”), released by Gagaga SP in 2004.

The song tells the earnest story of developing a crush while getting ready for a school festival, to the point where you start thinking, “Forget the actual day—I wish this preparation period could go on forever.” For attendees, the festival day is what matters most, but for the people creating it, there’s a whole drama before and after.

Why not let this song inspire you to find a heart‑pounding romance that makes both the preparations and the big day even more fun?

Tsunahiki Empiregagaga supi9rank/position

Gagaga SP / Tug-of-War Empire 2006 ~I’ll beat the crap out of you Edition~

The title is, of all things, “Tsunahiki Empire.” Isn’t that a song made for tug-of-war? This track by Gagaga SP, a punk band Kansai is proud of, was even used in a commercial, so I bet many people have heard it.

It belts out, full-throttle, a metaphor of life as a tug-of-war.

The tempo is fast, and it could easily turn into BGM that makes you feel like, “Whoa, the match was over in a flash!” (lol).
