Chungking ExpressUNISON SQUARE GARDEN22rank/position

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “Koisuru Wakusei” MV

This song expresses love that sways like a planet floating in the night sky.

Created by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, it’s included on their album “Ninth Peel,” released in April 2023.

The sound evokes a vast cosmos, and the lyrics, which liken a lovestruck heart to a planet, are striking.

In the music video, performance scenes unfold in a fantastical space filled with galaxies and planets.

It’s a romantic track you’ll want to listen to while gazing up at the stars—perfect BGM for a nighttime drive with someone special.

After the cherry blossomsUNISON SQUARE GARDEN23rank/position

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “After the Cherry Blossoms (all quartets lead to the?)” Short Ver.

It’s a spring-like song with a cherry blossom theme.

It’s performed by UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, and I bet many students tried covering their songs while in school.

The track has that signature fresh, driving feel of theirs, and it seems like it would really get the crowd going live! The lyrics, woven with familiar, accessible words, are very uplifting—perfect for graduation season when you’re setting off on a new path.

That said, true to their style, it’s a technically demanding piece, so solid practice is a must!

Serene and sweet autumn evening lyricismUNISON SQUARE GARDEN24rank/position

Seihitsukanbiakigurejojou

It’s a song that seems to turn the quiet, faintly sweet, sentimental air of an autumn dusk straight into sound.

Created by the three-piece rock band UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, it’s a lesser-known gem for the autumn season.

You can almost see scenes that gently capture the tenderness we feel for the passing seasons and the fleeting beauty of a single moment.

This track is included on the acclaimed album MODE MOOD MODE, released in January 2018 toward the end of the Heisei era.

Though it has no tie-ins, its lyrical melody and Kosuke Saito’s crystalline vocals reveal the band’s delicate side.

Listen to it on your way home as the days grow shorter, or alone on a slightly chilly night when you want to sink into your thoughts, and it will slowly seep into your heart.

Master VolumeUNISON SQUARE GARDEN25rank/position

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “Master Volume” MV

This is UNISON SQUARE GARDEN’s second single, which was used as the opening theme for the music program “JAPAN COUNTDOWN.” It’s a fast-paced rock tune featuring a remarkably full sound that belies its simple band setup, and standout arrangements where each part shines precisely because of that simplicity.

The bass solo, while using relatively few notes, creates a strong groove and adds a catchy spice that enhances the song’s refreshing feel.

It’s a modern rock number with a quality melody that invites you to pay special attention to the bass as you listen.

Another World EndUNISON SQUARE GARDEN26rank/position

Another World End

This piece is included on UNISON SQUARE GARDEN’s best-of album “SUB MACHINE, BEST MACHINE,” released to commemorate their 20th anniversary.

It features energetic performances, meticulous arrangements, and a dynamic, rock-based sound.

The lyrics are captivating, delicately portraying the happiness and poignancy born from small events and everyday emotions.

They remind us of the importance of finding beauty and value in the unseen and the inexplicable.

The album, released on July 24, 2024, contains 12 tracks in total, including this song and 11 previously unreleased tracks that had never been available in any audio format.

It’s recommended not only for rock fans but also for those who want to savor deeper lyrical meanings.

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “The World Is Fancy” MV

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN sings about real life in a pop style with a sound only they can produce.

They’ve provided numerous anime theme songs, with “Sugar Song and Bitter Step” being among the most well-known.

However, the track I want to introduce here is “Sekai wa Fancy.” Released in 2020, it has a slightly mysterious vibe that creates a superb contrast with the tone of the vocals.

Compared to their other songs, the singing style is a bit more rough-around-the-edges, and that gap is part of its charm!

A thoroughly nocturnal night-after-night driveUNISON SQUARE GARDEN28rank/position

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “Thoroughly Nightly Drive” Short ver.

A track from their fourth year after debut, characterized by a gritty, hard-rock sound.

More recent fans might find it a bit unfamiliar, but its edgy melody and vocals make it a very cool song.

It’s recommended for hardcore fans too, and knowing it gives you that connoisseur vibe.
