This is a fast-paced rock number themed around emotional misalignment between lovers.
It deftly portrays the complex, wavering feelings of a couple who harbor frustrations with each other—jealousy toward a boyfriend who stares at pretty women, dissatisfaction with selfish behavior, and other realistic relationship struggles that resonate.
A signature track included on the mini-album “If I Released a CD,” released in April 2013, it became a sensation in 2020 with a collaboration on the YouTube channel THE FIRST TAKE featuring Mossa from NECRY TALKIE, garnering over 10 million views.
It’s a recommended song for those struggling with their relationship or anyone looking to feel refreshed on a summer drive.

This song, which sings of the aching pain of heartbreak, can be considered one of KANA-BOON’s signature works.
Included on the album “NAMiDA,” the track was released in September 2017.
It delicately portrays the emotions of a man after a breakup, with lingering attachment and regret pressing on the chest.
Maguro Taniguchi’s vocals amplify the poignancy, piercing deeply into the listener’s heart.

If you want to take your Golden Week drive to the next level, I recommend KANA-BOON’s third major-label single.
Its high-speed four-on-the-floor beat in the 180 BPM range and catchy guitar riffs are instantly uplifting.
Released in May 2014, it drew attention when the band performed it shortly after on TV Asahi’s “Music Station.” It was later included on the album “TIME,” and has since been beloved as a killer tune that sends live houses into a frenzy.
With a propulsive, acceleration-themed sound brimming with speed, it might even blow away the stress of traffic jams.
Play it in the car on your way to your destination, and even a boring drive will turn into an incredibly fun moment.
Sakura SongKANA-BOON5rank/position
A song that captures the bittersweetness of youthful love with an exhilarating tempo.
Told from a male perspective, the love story vividly portrays how memories linger even as he grapples with his own immaturity.
Melodic rock intertwines with a fragile yearning, creating a track of delicate emotion.
Included on the album “Boku ga CD wo Dashitara,” which could be called the culmination of KANA-BOON’s indie era, this piece is one that leaves a deep afterglow—perfect for adding color to the start of a new school term or to springtime farewells.

The opening theme of the 2019 anime Sarazanmai.
It’s an impressive track with a cool band sound that could be called the essence of KANA-BOON, a band that has worked on many anime songs—one listen and you’ll be hooked.
With practice, you’ll be able to sing it stylishly, so definitely give it a try.
Let’s have everyone join in for the chorus!
Crystal StarKANA-BOON7rank/position
Sometimes you go for a drive to clear your head, right? When you’re feeling a bit down or anxious about the future, the rock band KANA-BOON’s classic 2014 release “Kesshōboshi” is there to keep you company.
It was originally released during their indie days on the single “Aono-oto,” and later re-recorded.
The band’s sound is cool yet warm, matching the winter air, and the encouraging lyrics sink in even deeper.
It’s a track with that distinctly KANA-BOON, feel-good rhythm that puts you at ease.
If you go for a drive while listening to “Kesshōboshi,” you’ll find courage slowly welling up inside you!
Star MarkerKANA-BOON8rank/position
From the intro, the shimmering synthesizer tones and bouncy beat leave a strong impression, lifting the listener’s spirits! It’s a pop-rock number packed with an uplifting message that seems to paint over past pain with hope for the future.
Maguro Taniguchi’s refreshing vocals create a soaring exhilaration that feels like breaking through a blue sky.
This is a work KANA-BOON released in March 2020 as their 14th major-label single.
It was chosen as the opening theme for season 4’s “Cultural Festival” arc of the TV anime My Hero Academia.
This track is the perfect cheer song for when you want to clear away a gloomy mood or need the courage to take a new step.
Just listening to it will naturally bring a smile to your face.
snow globeKANA-BOON9rank/position
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-BOON10rank/position
“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.
