KANA-BOON “Snow Globe” Music Video

If you’re looking for a straight-up rock-sounding winter song, I recommend KANA-BOON’s “Snow Dome.” It’s a fan-favorite often hailed as a masterpiece, included on their third album “TIME,” released in 2015.

The driving sound paired with bittersweet lyrics makes your heart swell, and combined with the chill of winter, it leaves you with a trembling sensation.

Listen closely to the poignant lyrics about someone you can no longer meet—someone who’s no longer here.

Poem of Cherry BlossomsKANA-BOON9rank/position

KANA-BOON “Sakura no Uta” Music Video

“Sakura no Shi” is an answer song to KANA-BOON’s indie-era classic “Sakura no Uta.” While “Sakura no Uta” is written from a male perspective, this one unfolds its lyrics from a female point of view.

Both songs are heartbreakingly about yearning for someone they can no longer meet, but “Sakura no Shi” conveys a more delicate emotional nuance, perhaps because it’s told from a woman’s perspective.

Listening to both reveals that their feelings were mutual, yet precisely because it was a love that ended without being confessed, it may be as fleeting and beautiful as cherry blossoms.

Star MarkerKANA-BOON10rank/position

KANA-BOON “Star Marker” Music Video [Anime “My Hero Academia” Season 4 Cultural Festival Arc Opening Theme]

Released in March 2020 and used as the opening theme for season 4 of the anime My Hero Academia, this song also drew attention for featuring Fujifabric’s Daisuke Kanazawa as a guest keyboardist.

Following bassist Yuma Iida’s departure, guitarist-vocalist Maguro Taniguchi plays bass on the track.

As an anime tie-in, it has a poppier, fresher feel than KANA-BOON’s usual songs—something that lifts your mood and makes you feel like you could see a starry sky.

For you in the sleepless forestKANA-BOON11rank/position

“For You, Sleepless Forest by KANA-BOON” × “Solanin” (Romaji)

A standout song from their indie days, for which a special music video was created to celebrate the fifth anniversary of their major-label debut.

With delicate lyrics, it portrays nighttime events and emotions, weaving in the joy and struggles of chasing dreams and a message to someone special.

Included on the mini-album “Boku ga CD wo Dashitara,” released in April 2013.

Its powerful yet somehow fleeting melody leaves a strong impression, bringing calm amid the rush of everyday life.

When you’re moving step by step toward goals in work, study, or life, it’s natural to feel anxious at times.

In those moments, KANA-BOON’s clear, luminous vocals are sure to give you hope.

KANA-BOON “Haguruma” Music Video (short ver.)

This is KANA-BOON’s 12th major-label single, released in March 2019.

It also served as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime Karakuri Circus.

It’s a song where you can enjoy a very resonant high tone that never thins out even at higher pitches.

The vocals likely make skillful use of a “chest-leaning mixed voice” with solid nasal resonance, and it would be an excellent piece to use as practice material for mastering this kind of vocal production.

KANA-BOON “Baton Road” Music Video

This is a driving, four-on-the-floor guitar rock number.

It was released in 2017 as the 11th single by KANA-BOON, a rock band from Osaka Prefecture.

It might be good to sing it with clear enunciation of each word.

It was selected as the opening theme for the anime BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS.

KANA-BOON “Run and Run” Music Video

A song worthy of etching the fleeting moment of parting that colors our youth—that’s KANA-BOON’s “Run and Run.” Listening to it at a graduation ceremony amplifies the mix of hope and anxiety that comes with a new beginning.

Chosen as a theme for the Shinken Zemi Plus commercial, the track won broad support from students and reached No.

9 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

Its exhilarating, fast-paced melody awakens the energy of youth, while Maguro Taniguchi’s nuanced vocals resonate deeply with listeners.

Standing at the starting line called graduation, “Run and Run” becomes the perfect cheer for students—and a memory that lasts a lifetime.
