Laura’s Scarred BodyGōruden Bonbā7rank/position

Golden Bomber “Lola no Kizudarake” MV

It’s a song by Golden Bomber filled with the lament of someone in love: despite not meeting on Christmas, Valentine’s Day, or a birthday—days couples would normally spend together—they’ll go on a date for Setsubun.

The sorrow of a man being used by the person he likes feels somehow both poignant and painful, doesn’t it? There probably aren’t many couples who go on a special date “because it’s Setsubun.” Even the oni (demons) would never have imagined that Setsubun would be used as an episode symbolizing a sad romance.

Fish HellGōruden Bonbā9rank/position

Golden Bomber “Fish Hell”

Delivered as an unofficial answer song to the supermarket BGM staple “Osakana Tengoku,” “Osakana Jigoku” was released digitally in 2021 as a rock tune that highlights Golden Bomber’s cool appeal.

As you can see in the costumes and the sound here and there, the style evokes ’90s visual kei acts like LUNA SEA.

The lyrics, written from a fish’s perspective, sing of a cold, harsh reality and strike a powerful chord.

It overflows with Sho Kiryuin’s quirky genius.

I’m going to kill my ex-boyfriend.Gōruden Bonbā10rank/position

Kill my ex. - Golden Bomber

A song by the visual kei “air band” Golden Bomber, known by the nickname Kinbaku, whose members are active not only in music but also across a wide range of fields.

This track is included as the coupling song to their 4th single, Traumatic Hostess.

With lyrics that vocalist Sho Kiryuin proudly calls “full-on clingy” and an irresistibly pop melody, it really sticks with you.

The writhing reaction to hearing about an ex—an experience many men can relate to—depicts that complicated male psyche of not wanting to hear it, yet wanting to, alongside honest emotions.

It’s a song that men will find themselves empathizing with even as it hurts, and one every guy should listen to at least once.
