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

Originally produced under the title “Cactus in a Small Pot,” the 5th single “Cactus” is also known as a signature song from their indie days.

The arrangement—layering a wistful melody over a floating, atmospheric opening—really sticks in your ears.

While the overall key is high, the tempo is relaxed and the vocal range is narrow, making it easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers.

It’s a melancholic number that will likely captivate listeners at karaoke, recommended for both men and women.

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.
