FLOWER GIRLkinoko teikoku15rank/position

Kinoko Teikoku – FLOWER GIRL

Set against a slow, mellow sound, this song lets the imagery of flowers—each bearing its own “color” in different scenes evoked by the lyrics—gently blossom in your mind.

It prompts your heart to wonder: if, in that moment back then, I had made a different choice, what would my life look like now?

Kinoko Teikoku – Girl meets NUMBER GIRL

Number Girl, whose name often comes up as an artist admired by Kinoko Teikoku.

Their influence is clearly reflected in the title and sound arrangement.

Also, compared to other tracks, the mix feels like the vocals are more up front.

The SEAkinoko teikoku17rank/position

Kinoko Teikoku – The SEA

This is a track included on the mini-album “Uzu ni Naru” (Becoming a Vortex).

The opening vocals, the guitar arpeggios that come in, and the rhythm section—all are composed with a minimal number of sounds.

Before you know it, you’ll find yourself drawn into its musical world.

Kinoko Teikoku – Ordinary Words

This is a track included on the major debut album “Cat and Allergy,” released on November 11, 2015.

Its pop melody and a bass line that feels like it’s briskly walking around are striking.

Perhaps the true meaning is hidden precisely in the ordinary things.

School Fictionkinoko teikoku19rank/position

Kinoko Teikoku – School Fiction

A track from their first nationwide-distributed album, “Uzu ni Naru,” released on an indie label.

The lyrics evoke the suffocating tedium of student days, like being stuck in a little sandbox world.

It’s packed with the essential passion that defines great indie bands, and I recommend it to anyone who feels less than satisfied with the status quo.

It’ll leave you feeling refreshed.

Kinoko Teikoku – Musician

Even if a beloved musician passes away, the recordings they left behind make it feel as though they’re still here—but in reality, they’re gone from this world.

Realizing that obvious truth, they say they composed this song all at once in a single night.

Apparently, at first they felt it was a bit inappropriate.

The Long Goodbyekinoko teikoku21rank/position

Kinoko Teikoku – Long Goodbye

As the name suggests, it does feel a bit on the verbose side, but it’s a really good song.

There are many parts you only grasp after repeated listens, and the subtle touches give it real musical depth.

Highly recommended if you like “slow-burn” tracks.

It’s long, but worth every minute.
