THE YELLOW MONKEY – LOVE LOVE SHOW

Despite having no tie-in, it became a long-running hit that stayed in the Top 10 for five consecutive weeks—a signature track where The Yellow Monkey’s trademark sultriness fuses with the driving energy of rock.

Among fans, it’s often said to be “the most Yemon-like” song.

The vocal range isn’t very high, the melody is simple, and there aren’t many pitch jumps, so you may find it easy to sing.

Since it’s band rock, the snare drum sound is the key point; if you feel the groove slightly behind the beat, it’ll be easier to lock into the song.

Keep solid time with your body, and be careful not to overproject your voice.

THE YELLOW MONKEY – Tactics -2022 Remaster- (Official Audio)

Many people might feel nostalgic about it as the ending theme of the anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.

It’s a rock number marked by the glamour of glam rock and a danceable beat that makes you want to move.

Kazuya Yoshii’s sultry vocals blend perfectly with the band’s distinctive sensual vibe, captivating listeners.

Released in February 1996 as a double A-side single, this track was a recut from the classic album FOUR SEASONS.

There’s even an anecdote that Yoshii strongly pushed to release it as a single at the time, making it a song that captures the band’s upward momentum.

The chorus has a wonderful sense of openness, making it perfect for getting fired up with friends of the same generation.

THE YELLOW MONKEY – Primal.

For those whose youth was defined by The Yellow Monkey, there’s one unforgettable song.

Released in January 2001 as their 24th single, it was produced with the legendary Tony Visconti.

The lyrics were originally written with a lipstick commercial tie-in and the graduation season in mind, but the band’s subsequent hiatus overlapped with its release, elevating the track into a profound piece that conveys both farewell and new beginnings.

While retaining a hint of glam rock, its grand sound—layered with brass and intricate backing vocals—hits you straight in the chest.

It reached No.

3 on the Oricon weekly chart and marked their ninth consecutive Top 10 entry.

During their 2016 reunion tour, it was performed as the opening number, and the moment when an “ending song” turned into a signal for a new beginning moved many fans deeply.

It’s a classic we especially recommend to those meeting a life milestone with the arrival of spring, or to anyone who wants to remember who they were back then.
