This track is marked by exhilarating, high-velocity guitar riffs and sharp lyrics that evoke a sense of loneliness.

Its breakneck pace, like tearing through a city night, sets listeners’ hearts ablaze.

Released in January 2000 as the band’s second single, it was featured as the opening theme for the Fuji TV anime GTO.

It’s also included on the acclaimed album Romanticist Egoist and remains a longtime fan favorite.

The chorus hits with explosive power—perfect for instantly changing the mood at karaoke.

You’ll need to watch your breathing, but if you ride the rhythm to the end, the rush is unbeatable.

For those who watched the anime back then, the intro alone is guaranteed to send your excitement soaring.

Pornograffitti “Haneuma Rider” MUSIC VIDEO

A title track from Porno Graffitti’s 20th single, its galloping sense of speed—like a bucking horse—sets your heart racing.

Released in June 2006, the song was used in a commercial for Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s Pocari Sweat.

Lyricist Haruichi Shindo expanded on the image of a “wild horse” to match the dynamic sound, depicting uncontrollable impulses and a feeling of acceleration by likening them to a rider on a motorcycle.

The crisp band ensemble is reinforced by a muscular drive, delivering an exhilarating rush.

It’s the perfect song to boost your mood or to play while feeling the wind on a drive.

Porno Graffitti “Let Me Peek Into the Depths of Your Eyes” MUSIC VIDEO

Since their major-label debut single “Apollo” became an instant smash hit, the two-piece rock band Porno Graffitti has remained at the forefront of the J-pop scene.

Their 30th single, “Let Me Peek into the Depths of Your Eyes,” was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Shukumei 1969–2010 – Once Upon a Time in Tokyo.” The contrast between the relaxed waltz (3/4) rhythm and the intricate melody, together with lyrics evoking a forbidden love, tightens your chest.

It’s a sentimental number marked by a memorable string motif that lingers in your ears.

Pornograffitti “Saboten” MUSIC VIDEO

Speaking of Porno Graffitti, their soaring high-note phrases are the biggest draw, right? But because of that height, there are probably many men who feel they can’t tackle their songs.

That’s why I recommend Saboten.

At first glance it might seem like a high song since the top note is hi A, but the lowest note is mid1 D, so the overall range isn’t actually that wide.

If you adjust the key to where you can sing with a free, open tone, and incorporate the “fall” technique—lowering the pitch slightly downward while holding a long note—you’ll instantly sound more professional!

Porno Graffitti “Mugen” Music Video

A powerful cheer song that revives memories of a tournament that had all of Japan enthralled.

Released as a single in May 2002, it’s one of the signature tracks from Porno Graffitti’s early period.

Chosen as the broadcast theme for NHK’s coverage of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, it resounded across the country day after day alongside the heated matches.

Its Latin-flavored, fast-paced sound—highlighted by striking horn tones—instantly lifts the listener’s spirits.

Haruichi Shindo’s poetic lyrics, which go beyond simple victory-at-all-costs, blend beautifully with Akihito Okano’s soaring vocals.

Embracing everyone who strives to move forward despite their anxieties, this song is perfect for easing pre-game nerves and summoning courage when you need it most.

Porno Graffitti – Staring (Mitsumete Iru)

An extraordinary, abnormal love can be felt in PornoGraffitti’s “Mitsumeteiru.” This song was included as the B-side to the single “Saudade,” which was released in 2000 and became a big hit.

When you read the lyrics, at first you might think, “Isn’t he just jealous because his girlfriend is too popular?” but gradually you notice the eerie persistence, and realize that this person is simply self-absorbed and forcing one-sided love and emotions onto her.

It’s a track that makes you feel the fear of what it would be like if a so-called “stalker” were turned into a song.

At times, you might find yourself losing confidence.

In moments like that, “King & Queen” is there to tell you, “It’s okay.” This song was written by Porno Graffitti as the theme for the 2017 World Grand Champions Cup.

Its lyrics are crafted to both inspire listeners and gently embrace them.

As you listen, pay attention to how the song defines “strength.” You might discover something new.
