Straightener – Music video “DAY TO DAY” (full version) featuring actor Yudai Chiba

It’s their 20th major single, released on November 11, 2015.

The music video features the popular actor Yudai Chiba.

Despite being mid-tempo, the weight of the sound in the intro and interlude is really cool.

The lyrics evoke a touch of sadness.

From Noon Till Dawnsutoreitenaa37rank/position

From Noon Till Dawn (feat.Tabu Zombie & Kunikazu Tanaka)

With a brass section resounding triumphantly from the intro, this track sets hearts racing as if announcing the start of a grand adventure.

In the world of lyrics woven by Atsushi Horie, you can picture a protagonist single-mindedly pressing toward the light along a long road that runs from noon until dawn.

Straightener’s muscular rock sound, adorned with the vibrant colors of guest brass players, creates a driving momentum that stirs the listener’s spirit.

Released in October 2012 as the band’s 15th single, the song served as the opening theme for the drama “Yūsha Yoshihiko to Akuryō no Kagi” (The Hero Yoshihiko and the Key of the Evil Spirit).

When you’re striving toward a big goal, listening to this piece might give you a firm push forward, telling you, “You’ve still got more in you.”

GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PASTsutoreitenaa38rank/position

STRAIGHTENER – GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST

The song, which has that sophisticated coolness characteristic of Straightener, is “GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST.” Despite its mellow mood, you can really feel the band’s groove.

It’s a track that captures not only the happy vibe of Christmas but also the band’s cool factor, so it’s definitely a song you’ll want to try.

Graffitisutoreitenaa39rank/position

STRAIGHTENER – Graffiti

A pop tune that freezes time with a sudden flash of past memories, then paints a vivid path toward the future for a heart that has stopped in its tracks.

Atsushi Horie’s poetic lyrics and the deliberately pared-back, subtractive arrangement gently seep into the listener’s soul.

Released as a single in April 2020, the track is also included on the album “Applause.” Its No.

1 spot on the weekly Oricon ROCK singles chart speaks to the support it received.

For those moments when you want to change but find yourself hesitating, it tells you, “You can grow stronger just as you are,” offering the courage to embrace your true self.

It’s a song that quietly stays close to anyone who feels on the verge of losing themselves amid waves of change.

KILLER TUNEsutoreitenaa40rank/position

Straightener – KILLER TUNE

Formed in 1998 by Atsushi Horie and Shinpei Nakayama.

Bassist Hidekazu Hinata joined when they made their major-label debut in 2003, and in 2008 former ART-SCHOOL member Jun Oyama came on board.

They are now active as a four-piece band.

Their melodic, bittersweet songs and hard-hitting rock tunes both pack a punch.

Little Miss Weekendsutoreitenaa41rank/position

Straightener – Little Miss Weekend

This is an uptempo track featuring a robust, quintessentially Tenor sound.

Centered on a simple yet powerful four-on-the-floor beat, it unleashes danceable arrangements in rapid succession, delivering an intense experience that never lets up from start to finish.

MARCHsutoreitenaa42rank/position

STRAIGHTENER – MARCH -2011.5.3 @ Shinagawa Stellar Ball-

A medium-tempo track by the rock band Straightener, known for its beautiful melodies.

It’s included on their 2007 album LINEAR.

Since the album was released in March, it naturally aligns with the season of farewells like graduation, and I think it resonates with a wide range of feelings.

Beyond romance, it also makes you reflect on different paths—like your course in life or direction.

The repeating piano tones and passionately driving band sound feel wonderful, imparting a steady, step-by-step sense of strength.

Horie Atsushi’s emotionally rich vocals make it a moving song that shakes the heart—a real tearjerker.
