Mushoku Tensei Season 2 OP ② / “Mushoku Tensei II: Jobless Reincarnation — I Will Seriously Try If I Go to Another World” Cour 2 Non-Credit Opening / “On the Front Line” by Hitorie

Hitorie’s songs, which portray emotional turbulence and self-discovery, are sure to resonate with high school students.

This track, also used as the opening theme for the anime Mushoku Tensei II, is included on the double A-side single released in June 2024.

As an ambitious work celebrating the 10th anniversary of their major-label debut, it showcases a perfect match between lyrics by Shinoda and composition by Yumao.

The powerful lyrics, capturing a heart swaying between ideals and reality, will speak to high school students struggling with exams and future paths.

It’s a song that gives you the courage to change while staying true to yourself.

HITORIE “Little Cry Baby” MV / HITORIE – Little Cry Baby

The lead track “Little Crybaby” from the freshly released third album IKI (December 2016) is a bright and powerful song that shows a new side of Hitorie.

It likens “dreams” to a newborn baby and conveys a forward-looking determination to carry them all the way to fulfillment, no matter what happens.

The undulating bassline in the intro and outro—aiming to be a “singable bass”—is incredibly cool!

It starts with an intro, repeats a classic A-melody up to the chorus, and then the second verse comes in.

If you like the voice and the vibe, why not try it at karaoke? I’m sure you’ll have fun.

It might be a good idea to practice a little, though.

Try practicing by layering your voice over the original vocals using a single-ear earphone or single-ear headphone.

As expected from a major act, they have their own identity, the chorus is enjoyable, and their versatility and shareability really sharpen the senses.

The vocalist’s powerful voice is leading the band, isn’t it? I think it’s the epitome of a great frontman.

Antithesis Junk GirlHitorie12rank/position

HITORIE 'Antithesis Junk Girl' MV / HITORIE – Antithesis Junk Girl

It’s the lead track from the major debut mini-album “Imaginary Monofiction,” released in February 2014.

The intro riff is quintessential wowaka, and it’s sure to hit the mark for fans from his Vocaloid producer days.

The lyrics are, as always, abstruse, but with plenty of repetition and rhymes, it’s an easy song to groove to.

Shutter DollHitorie13rank/position

Hitorie “Shutter Doll” MV / HITORIE – Shutter Doll

It’s a track from their second single released in November 2015.

The lyrics are captivating, using imagery like likening eyes to a camera shutter in the line “Blink and burn me into your memory,” and the phrase “shutter doll” can also be read as a play on a doll that has shut its heart.

There’s a lot to ponder in the words.

And the build-up before the final chorus is incredibly emotional!

Unknown Mother GooseHitorie14rank/position

Hitorie “Unknown Mother Goose” LIVE at EX THEATER ROPPONGI on March 25, 2018

From the intro, a lively rock sound kicks in with vocals and a punchy drum kick.

The arrangement keeps things engaging from the first verse to the pre-chorus, which is fun.

It has the kind of impact only a full band can deliver, and if it caught your interest, why not try it at karaoke? I’m sure you’ll have a great time.
