Kishidan / Brawl-Ready

This is a gem of a rock number that portrays the powerful way a woman lives.

It depicts a woman facing tough circumstances and forging her own path, and when combined with Kishidan’s characteristically energetic sound, it becomes a song that resonates deeply with listeners.

Released as a single in May 2014, it drew attention as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Gokaku Ganbo.” The collaboration with the drama was also a great success, with lead actress Machiko Ono making a guest appearance in the music video.

It’s a song that can give you strength and courage when you want to feel positive or stay true to your beliefs.

Thank you, you idiot.

One of the tracks included on Kishidan’s April 2012 album “Nihonjin” is memorable for its lyrics that candidly express gratitude.

Feelings of thanks that are usually hard to put into words are conveyed through a powerful, rock-infused sound.

The word “bakayarou” (“you idiot”) carries a sense of familiarity and affection that actually amplifies the sentiment of gratitude.

This piece is recommended for those who want to express thanks to someone important but feel too shy to say it outright.

How about listening to this song while picturing the face of the person you want to thank?

Kishidan – Kira Kira!

Kishidan is a band performing in their own unique style called Yank Rock.

Released in February 2004, this song has long been loved as a graduation-season staple.

While painting scenes of classrooms and desks, it doesn’t just dwell on memories—it’s infused with a strong will to charge into the future.

Rather than a somber farewell, its fiery message makes you want to raise your voice and sing with your friends, giving powerful support to anyone setting off on a new path.

Also included on the album “TOO FAST TO LIVE TOO YOUNG TO DIE,” the track features parts perfect for group singing, making it ideal for livening up a karaoke session.

When you want to blow away anxiety and loneliness and graduate with a smile, link arms with your friends and sing it together!

Kishidan / I’m only gonna make you happy (Short ver.)

A gem of a love song by Kishidan that passionately conveys eternal love with manly spirit.

The lyrics, which pledge nothing but to make the other person happy and straightforwardly depict a future with the one you love, deeply resonate with couples in love.

The resolve to uphold unchanging love—even with gray hair or baldness—is expressed at times powerfully, at times humorously.

Released in February 2015 as their 18th single, this piece was reportedly written by Show Ayanokoji on a Shinkansen, based on his experience at a friend’s wedding.

It’s ideal for celebrating anniversaries, wedding performances, or as proposal background music—a song that gives voice, through music, to feelings that are hard to express honestly.

It’s a title and lyrics that are so them, and this is a café au lait commercial song.

You’ve probably heard it before—it’s the kind of tune that sticks in your head and won’t let go.

The fact that they can also create slightly quirky songs is both interesting and cool, isn’t it?
