Nightmare – Wasurena-gusa (Lyrics and English Translation)

This is a song included on the 2003 album “GIANism ~What’s Yours Is Mine~.” It’s a different version from the one released during their indie days.

The song is based on drummer RUKA’s real-life experience.

The title “Wasurena-gusa” apparently comes from the Doraemon gadget “Wasure-ro-gusa.”

Nightmare – Raven loud speeeaker

I personally love Nightmare too, but actually, I learned about them from a middle schooler who often comes to the shop.

I didn’t know there was such a cool band.

They sing about love through rock—an exhilarating rock love song.

It makes my heart flutter so much I can hardly stand it.

NIGHTMARE Boku no Kirai na Kimi ga Shindara, Boku wa Warau no Darou ka? (Sub Español)

It’s a song about the acute struggle of how to face someone you dislike, and it really makes you stop and think.

The irregular meter in the first verse effectively captures a complex, unstable state of mind, while the heavy, aggressive sound underscores the weight of the lyrics.

Far Eastern Madhouse HeavenNIGHTMARE6rank/position

Nightmare: Far East Lunatic Heaven

Included on the 2003 album “Ultimate Circus.” A five-member visual-kei rock band formed during New Year’s of 2000.

As a live staple, this song is performed almost without fail on tour finales and similar occasions.

An uptempo, driving drum groove makes it a cool track.

BOYS BE SUSPICIOUSNIGHTMARE7rank/position

Nightmare – BOYS BE SUSPICIOUS [Live Version]

It’s a rock number that coolly portrays a boy who feels out of place just going along with those around him and decides to set out on his own.

The distorted guitar tones and powerful vocals feel like a push on the back, making it a song that fills you with courage as you listen.
