The Appeal of Guitarless Bands: Ranking of Omoinotake’s Popular Songs

The Appeal of Guitarless Bands: Ranking of Omoinotake’s Popular Songs
Last updated:

Omoinotake is a three-piece band that has gained popularity for a musical style deeply influenced by Black music such as soul, R&B, and hip-hop.

Their sound—centered on keyboards with bass and drums—creates a unique appeal that’s distinct from a standard band setup.

What’s more, the musical sensibility and high level of performance they cultivated over the nearly ten years from forming to debuting are well worth a listen.

This time, we’re introducing a ranking of popular songs that showcase the charm of Omoinotake!

Omoinotake | Hundreds of Millions of Light-Years [Official Music Video]

Released on February 28, 2024, this song became an explosive hit, and many vocal students practiced it in lessons! The overall range is A#3 to F#5, which is typical for a female artist, but I think it’s singable for pre-voice-change males as well.

Of course, those who are good with high notes will also find it approachable, but since it stays high right from the start, sustaining that level is crucial.

In any case, focus on deep diaphragmatic breathing, resonating in the same placement, and maintaining strong core awareness—you should be able to make it through at least the first verse.

I also recommend starting softly in falsetto at first.

Innocent BlueOmoinotake2rank/position

Omoinotake’s track Innocent Blue, released on October 29, 2025.

Many of you may have first heard the song through its use in the commercial for Bourbon Alfort Mini Chocolate.

The song’s vocal range spans from mid1 D to hi D, which is quite wide for a male vocal.

While the pitch movement is extremely dynamic, the BPM itself is a relaxed 118.

However, because there are many sustained high notes, the difficulty can definitely be rated at A to S level.

The delicate piano melody and Reo Fujii’s beautiful falsetto gently seep into the heart.

This song by Omoinotake, a piano trio band from Shimane Prefecture, portrays a precious love in which two people who have walked separate paths choose the same future.

The lyrics, which convey deep affection without using direct language, truly resonate with couples about to be married.

It served as the theme song for the film “Cherry Magic! THE MOVIE: 30 Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!” released in April 2022, and is also included on the album “Ammolite.” The message of “choosing the future together” makes it perfect for a wedding entrance or profile video.

It’s a recommended track for those who want to cherish their own style.

This is a love song by Omoinotake that sings about precious feelings discovered within a romantic relationship.

It warmly captures the growing awareness of the depth of love that gives new meaning, while expressing gratitude for the partner who accepted one’s past self.

Released in September 2023 as their first CD single, it was also chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Horimiya -piece-.

The song is included on the album Ammolite, and its music video portrays inner change through floral masks.

It’s a track we especially recommend to those who cherish their partners and are building a relationship where both people value each other.

When it comes to Omoinotake, many people associate them with songs that eloquently portray delicate emotions.

This time, I’d like to introduce a piece released in June 2020 that centers on lost summer memories and aching love.

It served as the ending theme for the drama “love⇄distance,” not only capturing the hearts of many, but also standing as a gem that represents the early stage of their career.

The lyrics by Tomoaki Fukushima paint vivid scenes—like the glow of a vending machine and the scent of deodorant—that awaken listeners’ bittersweet memories and restless longing.

Included on the mini-album “Long for,” created as Omoinotake drew attention through street performances in Shibuya and spread their name, this track is perfect for moments when you want to sink into a sentimental mood—those summer twilights or sudden flashes that take you back to those days.

By My SideOmoinotake6rank/position

Some of you probably played in a band or often listened to music with friends during your school days.

If that sounds like you, “By My Side” is the perfect fit.

This track is a collaboration between ahamoX, a music project by NTT Docomo, and Omoinotake.

Its lyrics express gratitude for the music that colored our youth and affirm that the friendships born through music remain unchanged.

You could call it the ultimate graduation song for music fans.

Better HalfOmoinotake7rank/position

Omoinotake | Better Half (feat. JEONGHAN of SEVENTEEN) -Japanese ver.-【Studio Recording Video】
Better HalfOmoinotake

A gently woven love song about the universal theme of long-distance relationships.

It expresses the strong bond between lovers separated by physical distance through refined pop sounds and a soaring vocal performance.

Featured on the album “Pieces,” it stands alongside the drama “Eye Love You” theme song “Ikuoku Kounen” as one of Omoinotake’s signature tracks.

A unique work born from a collaboration with SEVENTEEN’s JEONGHAN, it brilliantly fuses J-pop and K-pop.

With an uplifting message that the heart is always by your side and lyrics that beautifully depict love deepening, it is sure to resonate with anyone living apart from someone they cherish.
