Kinoko Teikoku – Another Word

It’s included as the seventh track on the album “eureka.” The lyrics are simple, mostly repeating English phrases, but the Japanese parts seem crafted to sound like English as well.

The drum keeps tapping out this slow beat, making it a track that gently resonates in your ears the whole time.

Kinoko Teikoku – Donut

This is a track included as the B-side to the single “Before the Cherry Blossoms Bloom,” released on April 29, 2015.

It’s notable for the heavily distorted electric guitar that carries the song from start to finish.

According to the artists themselves, although they made it in a playful mood, it ended up opening up a new frontier for them.

MAKE Lkinoko teikoku33rank/position

Kinoko Teikoku – MAKE L

It’s the closing track of the EP “Long Goodbye,” released on December 4, 2013.

The piece has no lyrics and consists entirely of chorus and instrumentation.

Kinoko Teikoku’s albums often include instrumental tracks and other songs without vocals, which is one of their distinguishing features.

YOUTHFUL ANGERkinoko teikoku34rank/position

Kinoko Teikoku – YOUTHFUL ANGER [My Guitar Cover]

The track included as the 10th song on the album “Cats and Allergies” captures a sense of venting pent-up frustration in a stark, decisive way, while also revealing an inner conflict that isn’t easily resolved.

It carries a mood many can relate to, and it can also be taken as a powerful message—almost like a metaphor for something deeper.

Kinoko Teikoku – Discordman (bloodthirsty butchers cover)

This is a cover song by bloodthirsty butchers, the band Hisako Tabuchi was a member of.

It’s included on the Butchers’ 2014 tribute album.

The crisp, cutting snare and weighty bass provide a solid foundation, while the wavering guitar tone creates a distinctive groove.

Spicakinoko teikoku36rank/position

Kinoko Teikoku Spica Acoustic Solo Performance

This is the coupling track to the major debut single “Before the Cherry Blossoms Bloom,” released on April 29, 2015.

By the way, Spica is a star that shines very brightly in the spring night sky.

The lyrics are sad, but the overall tone of the song somehow conveys a positive feeling as well.

Kinoko Teikoku – Eureka (MV)

A track from their indie first full-length album, “eureka.” Kinoko Teikoku has always been a band influenced by shoegaze, and this song in particular makes those roots especially clear in its arrangement.

The floating sensation created by the reverb- and chorus-drenched guitars pairs well with the lyrics that feel half-asleep, as if drifting in a dream.

If you like electronica or shoegaze, this is a song I’d recommend before going to bed.

Kinoko Teikoku – Parallel World

I think this song is a love song about a love triangle.

If you listen with that in mind, the lyrics make sense.

However, the roundabout expressions capture very youthful emotions, and I think that’s what grips young people and doesn’t let go.

How about calling it ‘emo!’?

Where Love Goeskinoko teikoku39rank/position

Kinoko Teikoku – Where Love Goes

It’s a song filled with rounded gentleness that seems to epitomize Kinoko Teikoku’s post-major-label sound.

Even so, the juicy shoegaze textures remain as captivating as ever, with a touch of instability—and, as Sato has said, they no longer feel the need to hide it—making this a masterpiece truly worthy of speaking about love.

Even if everything were to end tomorrowkinoko teikoku40rank/position

Kinoko Teikoku – As If Everything Will End Tomorrow

This is the closing track of the album “eureka,” released on February 6, 2013.

The striking title at first glance gives off a sense of resignation.

However, it can also be said to carry a nuance of hope, as if everything will be resolved by tomorrow.
