Muscle Girl Band / Dancing Useless Person (Official Music Video)

A song by King-Show (Muscle Girl Band) that expresses feelings of social alienation and self-denial in a uniquely worded style.

While repeatedly using the self-deprecating phrase “useless human,” it somehow conveys a sense of candor and a yearning for freedom.

Included on the album “Danzai! Danzai! Mata Danzai!!” released in July 1991, this track fuses Kenji Otsuki’s distinctive lyrical world with the band’s outstanding musicianship.

Its stance of questioning society’s frameworks and values has resonated with many listeners.

It’s recommended for times when you want the courage to accept yourself or when you feel overly constrained by societal values.

San FranciscoKinniku Shoujo Tai2rank/position

Muscle Girl Band – San Francisco

A heavy metal band led by Kenji Otsuki, who’s well known for his activities outside the band.

Coming from Nagomu Records, they generally occupy something of a novelty/oddity position, but this song is a masterpiece where you can fully savor Fumihiko Kitsutaka’s soulful, weeping guitar and Satoshi Mishiba’s keyboards.

Be sure to listen closely to Kenji Otsuki’s profound lyrics as well.

Nozomi, Kanae, TamaeKinniku Shoujo Tai3rank/position

Nozomi, Kanae, Tamae / Muscular Girl Band

The title of Kinniku Shōjo-tai’s last indie album was also Nozomi Kanae Tamae.

Seeing that the back cover is captioned “The Dark Side of the Force, so-called Nozomi Kanae Tamae,” it might be a track the band themselves are particularly fond of.

The story that begins with “A girl sank into a swamp; a god of reticles was watching” feels like both a church mass and a black magic ritual, and as you listen, it inevitably becomes frightening.

The switch into the metal-mode chorus is a must-hear.

It’s a song of despair I want not only metal fans but everyone to listen to.

The Spider’s Thread, Chapter TwoKinniku Shoujo Tai4rank/position

Kinniku Shoujo-tai – The Spider's Thread ~Chapter Two~

If you listen to it together with the previous entry in the series, “The Spider’s Thread,” it’s sure to give you chills.

The pent-up emotions of the shy boy depicted in the previous work finally spiral out of control, and in his dull, friendless days, he turns to the only comfort he had—his favorite girl…

It’s a song that carries a frightening realism, as if such an incident could be happening somewhere.

ShakyamuniKinniku Shoujo Tai5rank/position

MUSCLE GIRL BAND/Shaka (Official Music Video)

The major-label debut single by King-Show (Muscle Girl Band) that shocked the rock scene of the 1980s.

It’s a standout track where an absurd worldview and exceptional musicianship shine.

Through the strange encounter between a girl on a hill and a man who sells antennas, it vividly depicts the complexity of human relationships and the irony of fate.

Released in June 1988, it was also included on the album “Buddha L” released around the same time.

Loved for many years as one of the band’s signature songs, a newly recorded version titled “Daishaka” was released in 1992.

With its distinctive worldview and literary lyrics, this work is remembered as a masterpiece in the history of Japanese rock.

This is a song by the band Kinniku Shōjotai, fronted by Kenji Ohtsuki, who is also active as a writer.

Granddad Is Just Right / Muscle Girl Band

It’s a refreshing marching band.

The song depicts a grandfather who left his hardships behind in this world and is enjoying himself in heaven.

He occasionally looks down at his granddaughter to offer advice, goes bowling with Grandma, and seems to be having a wonderful time.

Cactus and BuntlineKinniku Shoujo Tai8rank/position

[PV] Muscular Girl Band – Cactus and Buntline

This song tells the story of a boy and a cat.

It’s a fast-paced rock number with the drive of a wind racing across the wilderness, and the intricate string phrases further amplify the song’s momentum.

The contrast between the four-on-the-floor verse and the soaring chorus is really compelling.

Fight! What for!? For life!Kinniku Shoujo Tai9rank/position

Muscle Girl Band – Fight! What For!? For Life!

Inside the classroom, it’s a girls’ war.

Entrance exam study is a death match.

Every day, to defend their own positions, the girls wage survival-strategy battles, phones in hand.

Listening to these repeated words, isn’t this the perfect track to prep for tomorrow’s fight?

The Great Legend of Boo TakagiKinniku Shoujo Tai10rank/position

Takagi Boo: The Grand Legend / King-Show (筋肉少女帯)

Included on the 2006 album “Kinniku Shōjo-tai Nagomu Collection.” A four-piece rock band formed in 1982.

This is one of their early signature songs, about Boo Takagi of The Drifters.

Even though living individuals such as Boo Takagi appear in the lyrics, it was released without permission, which later forced it to be pulled from sale.

It was subsequently re-released after obtaining permission from the person himself.
