Rose Prostitute Reina (Remastered)

Though the title is shocking, the song portrays the relationship between Jaguar, a soldier featured in the concept of the third album, and a prostitute named Reina.

The guitar in the interlude has a Latin feel, and when combined with the violin, it creates an even more seductive finish.

THE YELLOW MONKEY – SUGAR FIX

This is the English version of the song “Sweet Experience,” released in the UK.

In the chorus and other parts, there are sections where the feel of the words matches “Sweet Experience.” In the music video, the band members perform in a child’s room, and in the latter half a green baby doll appears, creating a strangely captivating visual.

Their nickname is The Yellow Monkey (Iemon), a rock band formed in 1989.

Their sound, which blends glam rock with a kayōkyoku (Japanese pop) flavor, gained wide popularity and propelled them to the forefront of Japanese rock.

Although they disbanded for a time, they reunited in 2016, and their sensuous sound remains as captivating as ever.

THE YELLOW MONKEY – Don't Go Away

This is a single cut from their seventh album, PUNCH DRUNKARD.

The music video was filmed and the song was released during the Punch Drunker tour.

Because the musical style is similar to the previous single, Kyūkon (Bulb), the members later said it wasn’t really suited to be a single.

When they perform this song live, vocalist Yoshii plays the acoustic guitar.

It has a somewhat nostalgic melody.

The point I’d really like you to listen closely to is the bass line—you’ll see how strongly it supports the song.

FINE FINE FINE (Remastered)

It’s a song that gets you hyped from the very beginning, starting with drums and a heavy bass.

Watching Yoshii’s slinky, suspicious moves on stage is also a highlight.

It’s very popular live and always fires up the crowd.
