A song that sings of solidarity and a forward-looking spirit.

It features powerful vocals that resonate deeply with listeners and a vibrant, dynamic guitar sound.

Released in September 2011, it gained support among students aspiring to pursue music.

It carries a hopeful message about a firm vow to “never be apart” and the power to change one’s past self.

Listening to this track will make you feel the importance of pushing beyond your limits.

It’s the perfect song when you need the courage to take a first step or when you don’t want to give up in the face of hardship.

Give It AwayOKAMOTO’S23rank/position

OKAMOTO’S – Give It Away ( Red Hot Chili Peppers Cover )

This is OKAMOTO’S cover of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ monster hit, “Give It Away.” The vocalist’s English pronunciation is excellent, but above all, the guitar tone is strikingly similar to John Frusciante’s! They’re probably using a different wah pedal than the original, but everything else is 100% spot-on.

With this level of faithful reproduction, even hardcore RHCP fans would be fully convinced.

Give&TakeOKAMOTO’S24rank/position

Give&Take(cover)

A track included on OKAMOTO’S’ fourth album, “OKAMOTO’S,” released by Ariola Japan in January 2013.

Centered on the concept of “give and take” in romantic relationships, it vividly depicts emotional turbulence and inner conflict.

Members of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra also participated, and the soulful sound evokes The Rolling Stones and Primal Scream.

The song brilliantly captures the complexities of love—regret, yearning, and more—showcasing the breadth of OKAMOTO’S’ musicality.

It’s recommended not only for those wrestling with love, but also for anyone looking to discover the appeal of OKAMOTO’S.

INSANE MANOKAMOTO’S25rank/position

OKAMOTO’S – INSANE MAN

It’s a sound that could only come from those born in the Heisei era! A track crammed with everything from late-1960s garage rock to the early-2000s rock ’n’ roll revival.

With a psychedelic guitar riff and a pub-rock-style harp used in a fresh way, it proves this isn’t just a retread of old music.

From the very beginning, it’s a dance number where OKAMOTO’S signature groove explodes and pushes the tension to its peak.

The sensation of sounds flying at you from every direction is incredibly satisfying, so if you’re listening on CD or the like, be sure to enjoy it with headphones.

OKAMOTO’S 6th ALBUM “OPERA” AUDIO VIDEO Vol.8 ~M12. Knock Knock Knock ~M13. We Should Be Able to Have Fun~

This track, included on the album OPERA, which embraces the concept of a rock opera, showcases the experimental spirit of OKAMOTO’S.

Characterized by an energetic garage rock sound, it rides on driving drum rhythms while the guitar and bass weave melodies that create a distinctive atmosphere.

Released in September 2015, the song gives voice to the desire to love someone despite feelings of stagnation and loneliness, and to the importance of continuing to chase one’s dreams.

It’s also a piece that highlights the breadth of OKAMOTO’S’s musicality, making it a perfect entry point to discover the band’s appeal.

Highly recommended for anyone seeking the excitement of new music!

NEKOOKAMOTO’S28rank/position

OKAMOTO’S 『NEKO(Remix) feat.Ryohu/MUD』MUSIC VIDEO

A hidden gem by OKAMOTO’S that portrays the loneliness of city nights and the subtleties of romance through the presence of a capricious, beloved cat.

It’s said the song was written after vocalist Sho Okamoto actually started keeping a cat, and the talk-like delivery, placing words almost like a rap, leaves a strong impression.

The cool sound that never gets overheated and the touch of everyday melancholy blend together to create an indescribably pleasant feeling.

The track is included on the mini-album “BL-EP,” released in December 2016, and later earned a spot on the best-of album “10’S BEST” through fan voting.

It’s a grown-up cat song you’ll want to listen to at night with a drink in hand, savoring that just-right, not-too-close, not-too-distant sense of space between you and the cat.

ROCKYOKAMOTO’S29rank/position

OKAMOTO’S 『ROCKY』MUSIC VIDEO(Short Ver.)

In contrast to its positive, classic-style chorus, the song unfolds with heavy, gritty A and B verses—an approach that could be called The Okamotos’ signature, executed beautifully here.

Their skillful switch-ups, packing completely opposite elements into a single track and connecting them seamlessly, are nothing short of astonishing.
