The way it’s put together makes it a very unique song.

All the lyrics are in English, but it’s crafted so that, as a mondegreen, they can all sound like Japanese lyrics—and still make sense.

The single also includes a Japanese version of the same song as a coupling track.

The B-side track to the single “Missile,” released in 2000.

A five-member visual kei rock band formed in Osaka Prefecture in 1995.

Amid a melody line that exudes a truly quiet, even solemn atmosphere, the emotive vocals leave a lasting impression.

Theory of Evolution ~ GOOD MORNING HELLO 21st CENTURY ~SOPHIA10rank/position

A lively song that packs in the joy of music, starting with bright, triumphant brass like a national anthem, and featuring clattery percussion and a swirling keyboard sound.

The music video begins with the outro, and the reason why is revealed at the very end.

Included on the 2011 album “ALL 1995–2010.” A visual-kei rock band from Osaka Prefecture that made their major debut in 1995.

With a rhythm that lays down a simple, straightforward rock beat and a pop melody, the high-toned vocals deliver a song that’s pleasing to the ear.

This is a song that expresses the feelings of a boy involved in a certain incident.

Even as a B-side, it sparked a lot of debate.

The song itself is jazzy, cool, and stylish, but… The title “Newspaper” literally refers to a newspaper.

The idea that someday he will even disappear from that slip of paper is incredibly painful and lingers in the heart.

This is SOPHIA’s “brother & sistar,” a track where you can really soak in that quintessential ’90s sound.

I say “quintessential ’90s,” though it was actually released in 2006.

They’re one of those bands that went on hiatus and are still eagerly awaited to return.

It’s a brother-themed song—more like a celebration of sibling love—packed with SOPHIA’s signature style, giving it a slightly different flavor from other songs in the genre.

Gokigen Bird ~crawler is crazy~SOPHIA14rank/position

This is a song by the band SOPHIA, which Mitsuru Matsuoka—who is now also active as an actor and in other fields—was a member of.

The subtitle, taken literally, would be “Flattery Is Out of Its Mind,” and the lyrics deliver a biting satire of that way of living.

It unfolds like a story in which the character’s room gradually grows larger.
