Kino no Teikoku – In the Arms of a Monster

Triggered by a member’s departure, the three-piece rock band Kinoko Teikoku went on hiatus in 2019.

The song “Kaijū no Ude no Naka,” included on their first album, “Neko to Arerugī,” has lyrics filled with a gentle warmth that embraces vulnerability and truly moves the heart.

The tempo is relaxed and the vocal range isn’t wide, making it relatively easy to sing, but the rhythm in the first verse is particularly distinctive, so be sure to learn it well before performing it at karaoke.

Also, since there are sustained high notes, if the key doesn’t suit your voice, adjust it on the karaoke machine to make it easier to sing.

It’s a track that seeps into the heart with a languid, melancholic mood, like drifting through a summer dusk.

Released by Kinoko Teikoku in August 2016, the song weaves in reggae and dub rhythms while blending the band’s signature weightless feel with a tender poignancy.

It evokes the unspoken feelings between a man and a woman swaying in the shifting light and shadow of a fading summer, rendering in its nostalgic melody the emotions that can’t quite be voiced—tightening the listener’s chest.

The song was later included on the album “Ai no Yukue” (The Whereabouts of Love), whose title track is also known as the theme song for the film “Her Love Boils Bathwater.” It’s perfect for those solitary moments at summer’s end when you want to quietly look back on days gone by, or for nights when you want to sink into a sentimental mood.
