The Long Goodbyekinoko teikoku36rank/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.

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 teikoku38rank/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.

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.

Kinoko Teikoku – When the Night Breaks – 02 – On the Field Path

It’s a song with an impression of a slightly languid vocal delivery, like an afternoon class after swimming.

The high-register arpeggios on the electric guitar strongly drive the direction of the arrangement.

It’s a track that makes it fun to imagine the artists who influenced it.

After the Rain — Kinoko Teikoku

The arpeggiated tone of the acoustic guitar resonates with a certain nostalgia, and the vocals by Chiaki Sato give the impression of singing at a lower pitch than usual.

Like an ‘aesthetics of restraint,’ the exquisite arrangement shines with the absence of unnecessary sounds.

Weathered Classroomkinoko teikoku42rank/position

Kinoko Teikoku – Weathering Classroom

Memories are things that fade.

This song feels like an image that represents that.

Kinoko Teikoku’s lyrics are often very rhythmic, but this track in particular seems to prioritize rhythm over meaning.

That, in turn, creates a unique sense of weightless drift.
