[With Lyrics] “Ashura” – King Gnu [Japanese Subtitles / Lyric Video]

King Gnu’s “):Ashura:(” was released on November 29, 2023, and was simultaneously included on the album “THE GREATEST UNKNOWN.” Packed with a message about living life to the fullest, its exhilarating, fast-paced melody truly makes it nothing short of “cool.” The unique worldview—where tension and a spirit of adventure intersect—is captivating.

It also drew attention for being featured in a PlayStation commercial.

King Gnu – It’s a small world

The commercial depicts Nana Komatsu’s time at home after returning from outside, and it leaves a very stylish impression, doesn’t it? A fixed camera captures a chic interior as she cleans, tends to plants, and relaxes while playing her favorite music…

Watching this commercial, many people may have found themselves longing for such a wonderful lifestyle.

The background music features King Gnu’s “It’s a small world,” a track from their 2019 album “Sympa.” The lyrics, which portray the joy of a world where it’s just you and someone special, are particularly striking.

OverflowKing Gnu31rank/position

[자막] Overflow – King Gnu(킹누) 👑 /2020AW

Here, I’d like to introduce a lesser-known song by King Gnu: “Overflow.” Although they often produce complex tracks, this one is unusually crafted as a straightforward alternative rock piece.

There are no key changes either, making it one of the easiest to sing among their works.

However, because the song emphasizes a sense of speed, you need to pay close attention to the flow.

It’s a good idea to memorize the phrases as if you were learning a rap.

Raw LoveKing Gnu32rank/position

Srv.Vinci – Raw Love

Srv.Vinci, the band that later became King Gnu—pronounced “Server Vinci.” Since the production was handled by Mr.

Tsuneta just like with King Gnu, I’ll introduce this work as a special case under King Gnu.

This piece features a lot of key changes, so many people may feel it’s hard to sing.

It’s certainly far more challenging than typical J-pop, but the vocals don’t start immediately after each modulation.

There are a few beats of rest before the singing begins, which should make it easier to handle.

2 Μ Ο Я ΟKing Gnu33rank/position

This is the song featured in the NatureLab MARO commercial starring Daiki Tsuneta, who performs as a guitarist and vocalist for the rock band King Gnu.

It’s said that Tsuneta wrote it specifically for the commercial as a King Gnu track, with a laid-back tempo and a distinctive funky bass.

On top of that, the especially prominent saxophone solo is a highlight, and the song exudes a mature vibe throughout.

After hearing it in the commercial, many fans likely thought, “I can’t wait to hear the full version!!”

Tokyo Rendez-VousKing Gnu34rank/position

King Gnu – Tokyo Rendez-Vous

The title track included on King Gnu’s first album.

Through the hustle and bustle of Tokyo and experiences on the train, it captures the city’s distinctive atmosphere.

Centered on rock while incorporating diverse elements such as hip-hop and funk, it showcases their signature “Tokyo New Mixture” style.

Released in October 2017, this song epitomizes the band’s experimental musicality.

Blending the chaos and diversity of urban life with bold new musical approaches, it’s recommended for listeners who want to explore new musical possibilities while feeling the air of Tokyo.

McDonald RomanceKing Gnu35rank/position

King Gnu – McDonald Romance

King Gnu, known for their musicality that incorporates a variety of genres such as jazz and funk, present “McDonald Romance,” a work that draws on neo-soul—a genre close to R&B that was trendy in the 1990s.

Neo-soul is less about showcasing vocals alone and more about delivering the entire package, including the instrumentation.

This track shares those characteristics; because there are fewer spotlight moments for the vocals, the overall difficulty is relatively low.
