JAMTHE YELLOW MONKEY1rank/position

THE YELLOW MONKEY – JAM

Released on the leap day of February 29, 1996, this was THE YELLOW MONKEY’s ninth single and the signature song that cemented their breakthrough.

It reached No.

6 on the Oricon Weekly Chart, sold approximately 600,000 copies in total, and earned Gold and Platinum certifications.

It’s a triplet ballad in C major; if you focus on the drums, it’s especially easy to feel the rhythm and get into the groove.

The overall vocal range is D3 to F#4, which seems very comfortable to sing.

To avoid sounding flat when you sing, try rocking your whole body back and forth and be mindful of accents!

THE YELLOW MONKEY – Reminiscence Mermaid

Released in July 1995 as THE YELLOW MONKEY’s seventh single.

THE YELLOW MONKEY was a hugely popular band at the core of the late-’80s to ’90s band boom, so many people in their 40s likely covered them in their own bands as teenagers.

Musically, it’s a very simple rock song, making it easy for anyone to sing.

Listen closely to the accented snare drum in the backing track and make sure you lock into the beat as you sing.

THE YELLOW MONKEY – SPARK

This is a rock number by THE YELLOW MONKEY that sings of passionate love.

It paints a worldview where you close your eyes and share a space with the night, and within its sensual expressions lies a pure heart wishing for eternal love.

The energetic guitar riffs and rhythm section leave a strong impression, and Kazuya Yoshii’s distinctive vocals resound over the dynamic sound.

Released in July 1996, the song drew attention as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Handsome Man.” It was also included on the album “SICKS” and reached No.

3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It’s a perfect song for enjoying karaoke with friends, full of a charm that lets everyone open their hearts and sing along.

THE YELLOW MONKEY – Trap (Official Music Video)

THE YELLOW MONKEY is a rock band that still boasts enduring popularity thanks to their overwhelming charisma.

Since they’ve also worked on anime songs, even guys in their teens might know them.

Among their tracks, the one I particularly recommend is Wana (“Trap”).

This piece features a garage rock-style, downer rock sound as its hallmark.

True to Yemon’s style, the chorus feels composed and contains no high notes at all, making it very easy to sing.
