CAT CITYTHE YELLOW MONKEY

This is a track by THE YELLOW MONKEY that continues to captivate fans with its seductive yet heavyweight sound.

Serving as the opening theme for the TV anime “Night of the Living Cat,” it brilliantly fuses hard-driving guitar riffs with playful touches that will bring a smile to your face.

It perfectly matches the anime’s unique “cat-filled survival” world.

It’s guaranteed fun, no explanations needed—an ideal song when you want to lift your mood or cut loose.

Love HommeTHE YELLOW MONKEY30rank/position

The charismatic rock band THE YELLOW MONKEY, known as The Yemon, caused a stir when they reunited in 2016.

Their 2019 release Love Homme is a bold rock song with a roaring, thick bass sound.

It’s also interesting how the lyrics feature sea-related words like whale and octopus.

THE YELLOW MONKEY – My Night’s Fantasy of Lament
Lament, my night's fantasyTHE YELLOW MONKEY

This is a single cut from their fourth album, “smile.” It has been a staple number at their live shows since their indie days, and it’s said that after Yoshii ran out of songs he had stockpiled, he struggled quite a bit with writing the lyrics for the next single, “Reminiscence Mermaid.”

Chelsea GirlTHE YELLOW MONKEY32rank/position

This is a track from the first album, “THE NIGHT SNAILS AND PLASTIC BOOGIE / Night-Active Snails and Plastic Boogie.” The guitar solo in the middle has a shamisen-like style, giving it a classic old-school rock vibe.

LOVERS ON BACKSTREETTHE YELLOW MONKEY33rank/position

A song that vocalist Kazuya Yoshii wrote for the first time with THE YELLOW MONKEY.

It was included on a CD released during their indie days, but at that time his singing was still unsteady and the pitch was all over the place.

However, when it was re-recorded as the B-side of the 1994 single “Nettaiya” (Tropical Night), it sounded much better.

THE YELLOW MONKEY MedleyTHE YELLOW MONKEY34rank/position

A hit medley by a rock band known for its unique musicality—seriousness interwoven with sensuality—and lyrics that speak deeply to the heart.

Their reunion has brought them back into the spotlight, earning praise not only from longtime fans but also from younger audiences, and they are widely loved.

WELCOME TO MY DOG HOUSETHE YELLOW MONKEY35rank/position

Although it’s a song from their indie-era album, it remains very popular among fans and is frequently performed live.

At their last show before going on hiatus, they played this song after declaring, “We’re going back to being ordinary stray dogs!” to a thunderous ovation.
