Kyuso Nekokami – “Barely Showa ~Complete Version~” [Official Music Video]

As the title suggests, I recommend Kyuso Nekokami’s “Giri Showa ~Complete Edition~” to anyone who was born right on the cusp at the very end of the Showa era, just before Heisei.

It was released in May 2019, right as the Reiwa era began.

Even though there shouldn’t be a huge difference, the song vividly captures that hazy, complicated feeling between people born just before Heisei (technically Showa) and those firmly born in Heisei.

If you’re squarely in this generation, it’ll probably resonate with you big time! Speaking from my own frustration too—let this song help you vent that fuzzy, in-between feeling.

Fall feels emoKyūso Nekokami9rank/position

Fall feels emo

Kyuso Nekokami is a five-piece rock band known for lyrics you can’t help but relate to.

This track is a hidden autumn gem that was included as the B-side to their single “Wakattendayo,” released in October 2016.

The band’s ensemble is striking, pairing a driving BPM of 160 with the sentimental feelings unique to autumn.

The lyrics vividly depict scenes like dry air and the chirping of bell crickets, candidly expressing that sudden, aching loneliness that makes you long for someone.

It’s an emotional number you’ll want to hear on an autumn night, where the contrast between the uptempo sound and the wistful melody really hits home.

Kyuso Nekokami – “I Want to Become a DQN, I Want to Die in My 40s” DMCC Kobe World Memorial Hall

In Japan’s rock scene, Kyuso Nekokami is hugely popular among young people.

Their strengths lie in their sense of humor in songwriting and the straightforward emotions that come through from deep within.

This song takes the internet slang “DQN,” which refers to delinquents and toughs, as its theme.

At first glance, it seems to mock DQNs, but what’s cute is how it subtly reveals a hint of envy toward them (lol)! It’s a song that sings about delinquents from a slightly different angle.

When you feel like you’re being crushed by the irrationality of everyday life, there’s a song that will scream on your behalf.

An early track by Kyuso Nekokami, this aggressive yet danceable number will wash away the grime clinging to your heart.

Featured on the December 2012 album “Daiji na Oshirase,” it’s one of the most crowd-stirring favorites among the 11 tracks, especially at live shows.

Its appeal lies in the exhilarating way the band humorously transforms unspoken negativity and pent-up fury into catharsis.

On days when something feels unforgivable, or on nights when stress has you on the verge of exploding, turn up the volume and give it a listen.

You’ll feel all that buildup flush clean away.

Kyuso Nekokami – “Straddling Mounting” [Official Music Video]

Calling themselves a five-member, all-directional, negative disco-punk band, Kyuso Nekokami is a rock band whose trademark is lyrics born from hyper-detailed observations of human behavior.

“Uma Nori Mounting,” included on their fifth album Giri Heisei, sticks in your ears with its brisk beat and catchy melody.

True to its title, the cynical lyrics take aim at people who try to one-up others in everyday conversation, and many listeners will likely find the spot-on depictions satisfyingly cathartic.

It’s a rock tune with a contemporary theme that lets you vent your anger while also making you want to reflect on your own behavior.
