MONOBRIGHT「youth」

Included on the 2013 album “MONOBRIGHT three.” This track is infused without reservation with vocalist Momono’s respect and admiration for bloodthirsty butchers, a legendary band from Hokkaido like Monobright, and its musical style strongly reflects the Butchers’ influence.

That transparency and the boymonoburaito12rank/position

MONOBRIGHT 'That Transparency and the Boy'

A song written specifically as the theme for the film After School.

It was the band’s first movie theme song and served as the May opening theme for TBS’s COUNT DOWN TV.

The music video features Yo Oizumi.

While it exudes a sense of youth, its refreshing, catchy melody is pleasing to the ear.

Monobright “Kokoro” MUSIC VIDEO

Kokoro, the third track on the album Bright Ground Music, is a deeply thought-provoking song in which Monobright sings, in their own way, about what the unvarnished “truth” really is.

The music video also includes an interview with vocalist Yosuke Momono, offering a glimpse into the heart of Monobright.

Heartbeatmonoburaito14rank/position

MONOBRIGHT 'Heartbeat'

A track from the distinctive album Shinzo Live-rations, which was recorded entirely live.

Among their songs, this one is especially catchy and pop, and in the latter half you can hear the audience who came to the live recording singing along with a “la-la-la-la~” chorus.

The music video was filmed alongside the live recording, capturing the atmosphere of the day extremely well.

Beautiful Morning (Wake Up!)monoburaito15rank/position

Monobright “Beautiful Morning (Wake Up!)” SPECIAL MUSIC VIDEO

This song, created around the theme of “Monobright that never sleeps = Monobright that never stays,” portrays the hope, anticipation, and perhaps the poignancy that comes with the transition from night to morning.

The SPECIAL MUSIC VIDEO includes footage from a live performance held in 2015, making it a highly engaging MV to watch!

Moonwalkmonoburaito16rank/position

MONOBRIGHT 'Moonwalk'

This was the last song by monobright after Toru Hidaka joined, when they were a five-piece.

The catchphrase was “a sense of sci-fi in the heart.” It was created as an ending theme for the anime Gintama, with lyrics that feel like hurling emotions at the anime’s sci-fi-tinged world, and a melody that carries an oldies vibe.

I think it was a song that could only have been made because it brought together the around-forty Hidaka, the around-thirty Momono, and Deguchi the anime otaku.

Monobright “Winter, Today, Tower” MUSIC VIDEO

Released in 2015 alongside the announcement of the launch of kiraku records, this was Monobright’s first release in two years.

The song sings about the admiration and aspirations people hold while life’s busy days continue on.

With a gentle, warm melody, it’s a rock number you’ll want to listen to when winter comes.

Another Seamonoburaito18rank/position

MONOBRIGHT 'Another Sea'

A track included on their second major album, “monobright two.” Written by guitarist-vocalist Momono for the final graduating class of the evening dairy science program at his alma mater, Hokkaido Betsukai High School, the song is performed not with a band arrangement but as a piano-and-vocal piece.

It’s a wistful song that’s perfect for graduation season.

You’re a pioneer too.monoburaito19rank/position

Monobright “You’re a Pioneer” MUSIC VIDEO

The second installment in MONOBRIGHT’s three-month consecutive release project.

Released in October 2025, this track was created based on vocalist Yosuke Momono’s experiences playing on his high school soccer team.

Hideaki Iwanaka’s crisp drumming, Hiroyuki Deguchi’s commanding bass, Shogo Matsushita’s expansive guitar, and Momono’s powerful vocals come together to deliver an energetic ensemble.

Coupled with uplifting lyrics, it really fires you up.

A rock tune for everyone who keeps challenging themselves, even while struggling.

Summer Meloromanticmonoburaito20rank/position

MONOBRIGHT “Summer Meloromantic”

A remake of a song from Monobright’s amateur era.

It’s a refreshing track that lets you feel dappled sunlight sparkling through the guitar and drums.

At the same time, its bittersweet lyrics about parting with a loved one make it perfect for the end of summer.

It’s the third track on the mini-album “Ano Tōmeikan to Shōnen” (That Transparency and the Boy).
