Tokyo Incidents: A Certain Tokyoite

It’s a cool track with a bass-driven main melody.

The lyrics are sexy.

I feel that Ukigumo’s vocals are a perfect, wonderful match for this song as well.

Overall, it has a sultry atmosphere, evoking an image of a stylish bar where sophisticated adults gather.

Bokoku Joucho -Feelings For My Motherland-

Among the tracks on Tokyo Jihen’s 2004 album Kyoiku, led by Ringo Sheena, this song stands out with an especially cute, march-like feel.

In compact yet powerful words, it portrays a narrator determined to grasp the world vividly through sight and sound.

Riding a march-evoking, quarter-note-driven rhythm, the crisp guitar chopping and snare accents click along with a buoyant energy that makes your feet want to move just by listening.

The production story—recording 17 songs in just four days—also conveys the band’s fresh, early-stage vitality.

The album Kyoiku earned Platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan, achieving strong commercial acclaim.

It’s a true-to-life youth anthem that brings back the atmosphere of those days—humming along with friends after school in the classroom or on the way home.

Ringo Sheena – Purity at Midnight

It’s a pop and charming song that feels like it could appear in Lupin the Third.

The music video has a comic style, like a retro anime, and it’s mesmerizing to watch.

I think the contrast between the pop melody and the mature, rich singing voice creates a distinctive color.

desperate situation; a predicament with no way out; a crisis pointToukyou Jihen34rank/position

[Tokyo Incidents] I tried playing “Desperate Situation” [Bass]

It’s a song about an immense sorrow and the person who bears it.

As the title “Desperate Situation” suggests, the grief is overwhelming and utterly inescapable.

Faced with such crushing sadness, what feelings arise, and how do those feelings change over time? This masterpiece elegantly captures that emotional journey, adorning it with a light, lively rhythm.

Song of the DawnToukyou Jihen35rank/position

Tokyo Incidents – Song of the Dawn

It’s a song that gently points to a light of hope beyond deep darkness, one that truly seeps into the heart.

This piece—Tokyo Jihen’s cover of the classic originally sung by Yoko Kishi in 1964—was included on the album Discovery, produced in April 2011 in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Ringo Sheena’s prayer-like vocals and the band’s weighty ensemble feel as if they’re softly telling you, “It’s going to be okay.” If you listen to it in the morning after an unbearably anxious night, your heart will surely reset, giving you the courage to start a new day.

Tokyo Incidents - Letter (I tried playing it) @Nekokumo

A song by Tokyo Jihen included at the end of the album “Adult.” The lyrics are written in the form of a letter.

The worldview woven by the wistful strings and the rock band sound performed by Tokyo Jihen is truly beautiful.

FOULToukyou Jihen37rank/position

동경사변 -본 보야지 – FOUL

Tokyo Jihen can drastically change their vibe from song to song, and this track feels like a distillation of everything cool about them.

The lyrics are delivered in sharp, clipped phrases, the guitar drives forward with an infectious groove—every part of the song is saturated with style.

Savor Tokyo Jihen’s head-turning, hard-hitting cool.

Once a man and a womanToukyou Jihen38rank/position

02 Once Men and Women (Tokyo Incidents cover) / Kurobikari Ringo

Perhaps they are old now; as the title suggests, the song’s tone evokes the everyday life of a couple who have been together for many years.

It doesn’t have the energetic vigor of youth, yet it conveys a heartwarming sense that the passion between them as a married couple might flare up again.

Dopamint!Toukyou Jihen39rank/position

Tokyo Incidents - Dopamint! Tried playing the guitar @Nekokumo

The slowly seeping opening melody inevitably stokes anticipation for what’s to come.

Carrying that expectation as we keep time with our feet and clap along, we’re met with an explosive pop-powered surge that doesn’t disappoint.

It’s a track brimming with energy that propels you forward without a moment’s pause.

Too handsomeToukyou Jihen40rank/position

Tokyo Incidents – Too Handsome

The music video is in black and white, giving it a slightly retro, mature vibe, but the music itself feels fresh and modern.

Every time, I can’t help thinking how incredibly handsome all the members are.

The lyrics are thought-provoking in that distinctly Tokyo Jihen way.
