Golden Bomber album “Only Killer Tunes” — advance live showcase where members other than Kiryuin also hear it for the first timeGōruden Bonbā36rank/position

Golden Bomber album “Killer Tunes Shika Nee yo” – advance first-listen showcase live at Toyosu PIT, with members other than Kiryuin also hearing it for the first time…

This is a live show held ahead of the release of the album “Killer Tunes Only,” where songs were performed in advance.

Golden Bomber is known as an air band: in addition to singing, Sho Kiryuin handles all lyrics and composition, while the other members primarily participate as performers.

This footage is structured to take advantage of the band’s unique nature, with not only the audience but even the members themselves hearing the songs for the first time at the venue.

For the audience, it’s fun not just to hear brand-new tracks, but also to watch the members distinguish the sounds on the fly and perform ad-lib.

It’s a show where you’ll want to focus on how the members react—bewildered at times—by titles that don’t suggest a clear mood, distinctive musical styles and structures, and other surprising elements.

Golden Bomber MedleyGōruden Bonbā37rank/position

Golden Bomber 10th Anniversary! Kinbaku Medley

This is a medley of Golden Bomber, who debuted as a visual kei air band and became hugely popular for their unique performances and musical style that were unprecedented at the time.

It’s packed with songs, from music featuring quirky lyrics to tracks with alluring, captivating vocals.

Golden Bomber – Trauma Cabaret Hostess (LIVE)

The song itself tells a story.

Pay attention to how the recurring “omelet rice part” that appears every time before the chorus changes as the song develops.

Personally, I love it—the sound fits the image of a cabaret club perfectly.

Golden Bomber “The Bubble Was Good” (temp MV)

It’s a disco number in the vein of “Dance My Generation,” which saw a resurgence in acclaim in 2019! Is this the kind of dance track people want now? The Giorgio Moroder-esque throbbing bassline and orchestral hits evoke the sparkle of the 1980s.

The clincher is the illustration used as the music video’s insert art—created with the wildly popular assets from Irasutoya.

You see them all the time on supermarket flyers and casual social media posts, right? It’s audacious to the extreme.

Pathos – Golden Bomber

The vocals are relentlessly groaning and screaming.

This track is the first on the album, and at first it surprised me.

I listen to it almost like an instrumental.

The accompaniment has a slow piano part that somehow evokes “Erlkönig,” giving it a powerful impact.

Golden Bomber “Refophobia” MV

It portrays recurring fear and anxiety through a distinctive worldview.

Released by Golden Bomber in January 2025, this ambitious work is a significant song commemorating their 20th anniversary.

Its gothic rock sound is complemented by a sultry vocal performance, and the lyrics reflect Sho Kiryuin’s genuine emotions.

The music video, staged like a horror film, has also become a hot topic.

If you’ve thought of them as a “comic band,” you might be surprised when you listen.

Let’s go, KYGōruden Bonbā42rank/position

Golden Bomber - Let's Go KY

When I see the title, I can’t help thinking it’s going to be another jokey song, but personally I think it’s a really great track.

It’s something Japanese people, who tend to hold back to read the room, should definitely listen to.

It encourages you that it’s important to believe in yourself and keep moving forward.
