lapis lazuli blueGO!GO!7188
Among GO!GO!7188’s songs, this is one of the most distinctly Japanese-flavored tracks.
The shift from the heavy, dark mood before the chorus to the sudden brightness at the chorus is so striking that once you hear it, you won’t forget it.
There aren’t many songs with such a dramatic contrast between the chorus and the rest.
Lunatic GateJanne Da Arc
This song, sung in strikingly high tones that you wouldn’t expect from a male vocalist and delivered in rapid succession, tells of a secret relationship with a mischievous, devilish woman.
Confounded by the difference in her daytime expressions, the narrator’s desire to know her more deeply swells, and he conveys that longing melodiously.

It’s packed tightly with a single-minded longing: an overwhelming desire to see you.

Lose your mindMY FIRST STORY
This song really showcases Hiro’s vocal ability.
He moves from clear, easy-to-catch shouts to a quiet delivery, then lifts it in the chorus.
A genius.
I also think the drum arrangement in this track is cool.
And the acoustic guitar that comes in near the end is awesome.
Room #103Pay money To my Pain
This is an unreleased demo track that was made public in December 2014, two years after the passing of K, the vocalist of Pay money To my Pain.
It features K singing over an acoustic guitar accompaniment and includes a Japanese translation of the English lyrics.
It’s a very gentle song that evokes a bittersweet feeling.
