RADWIMPS – A Masterstroke [Official Music Video]
Critical HitRADWIMPS

RADWIMPS is a four-piece rock band whose wide-ranging talent—from hook-filled rock numbers to film scores—has been drawing attention.

“Kaishin no Ichigeki” (“Critical Hit”), included on their major-label fifth album, ‘X to O to Tsumi to,’ delivers a powerful message about someday turning an unchangeable world upside down, leaving a strong impact.

The intro guitar riff isn’t as hard as it sounds, but once you hit the A section, the tight backing tends to fall out of sync in a band setting, so be careful.

It’s a refreshing rock tune perfect for a school festival performance, with a chorus full of catchy phrases that really lifts your spirits.

karmaBUMP OF CHICKEN

It’s a killer tune by the hugely popular band BUMP OF CHICKEN.

The melody is easy to pitch, so I think it’s relatively easy to sing at karaoke.

It’s a must-know track for rock fans, and BUMP has lots of other cool songs too, so definitely give them a listen.

TemptationGLAY

I think this is GRAY’s most famous song.

The lyrics portray a mature view of love.

I like the vocalist’s high-pitched voice.

The song stays in a high range, so it’s extremely hard to sing at karaoke, but if you can pull it off, it’s really cool.

READY STEADY GOL'Arc〜en〜Ciel

It’s a killer tune by the hugely popular band L’Arc~en~Ciel.

Since it was also the theme song for Fullmetal Alchemist, it’s very well-known, and the melody is easy to follow, so I think it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

Also, the scene in the music video where the guitarist plays while smoking looks incredibly cool.
