Hitsujibungaku “Romance” (Official Music Video)

Hitsujibungaku is an alternative rock band known for simple songs and a vocal style that’s soft yet strong at its core.

Many of their tracks are easy to play, but I especially recommend the 2019 single “Romance.” Included on the EP “Kiramaki,” also released that year, this song is played at a relaxed, 8-beat tempo, making it approachable even for beginners.

Most of the guitar chords use open strings in easy-to-hold positions, so if you’re not comfortable with barre chords, definitely give it a try!

“Haru no Arashi” by Hitsujibungaku, released digitally on June 18, 2025.

Listening to the track, it has a calm and gentle atmosphere.

The overall vocal range is E3–E5, and since there are no belted high notes and the chest and head voices are clearly separated, it’s a song that women can sing comfortably.

The tempo is relaxed, but the phrasing of the melody is distinctive.

It seems best to sing each phrase carefully, leaving a lingering resonance to bring out the mood.

It’s also a song that makes breathing easy, so try singing with a conscious cycle of inhaling and exhaling at each phrase.

Rather than singing with too much force, gently sway along to the music; this will help you stay relaxed.

Keep your facial muscles lifted and let the sound resonate in your head as you sing!

Deep Breaths by Hitsujibungaku

Amid the quiet of late autumn, this is Hitsujibungaku’s alternative rock that sinks deep into the heart.

Moeka Shiotsuka’s vocals, so intimate you can feel her breath, gently stay beside a mind that can’t help blaming itself.

And the lyrics—portraying an inner strength that tries to rise again while carrying a pain that’s hard to put into words—feel profoundly human.

This track is included on the album “12 hugs (like butterflies),” released in December 2023.

Take your time with it on these dwindling long autumn nights.

Hitsujibungaku “When We Exit the Tunnel” trailer

Included as the fourth track on the 2017 debut EP “Tunneling Through.” When faced with your adorable self, words just won’t come out—words are powerless in front of you! Although it sings about a tangled love affair, the simple female vocals and aggressive rock sound feel pleasant and leave you feeling refreshed.

Cherished days

When you go to a supermarket or convenience store, you see plenty of Bourbon snacks lined up, don’t you? This commercial introduces Bourbon’s lineup of original biscuits all at once.

It shows the cast eating them so deliciously that it makes you want to run out and buy some.

The background music is “Itoshii Hibi” by Hitsujibungaku.

Set to an upbeat, bright arrangement, the lyrics seem to affirm the frustrations and sense of emptiness we sometimes feel in our everyday lives.

Sone Yukibun’s song “Soda Water” is included on the EP “Kiramaki,” released in July 2019.

The poetic lyrics by Moeka Shiotsuka leave a strong impression.

I’m drawn to its delicate world, which seems to put into words the subtle shifts of emotion found in everyday life.

The sound is refreshing yet tinged with a certain wistfulness, which is also distinctive.

This work is perfect for times when you want to face your own feelings.

Be sure to try singing it at karaoke.

Future Map 2025

You’ll be drawn into a soundscape that gradually expands.

It’s a song by the rock band Hitsujibungaku, released in March 2025, chosen as the theme song for Takanawa Gateway City’s “Future Experience Theater.” The gentle vocals and dreamy tone create a captivating world you can’t help but be enchanted by.

The lyrics, which speak of anxieties and hopes for the future and the importance of living in the present, are also compelling.

A deeply moving musical experience awaits you.
