Masterpieces and popular songs by SEKAI NO OWARI (SekaOwa)

Let me introduce some songs by the four-piece rock band SEKAI NO OWARI, also known as SekaOwa.

Their music features vocals with Auto-Tune and is captivating for its fantasy-filled soundscapes.

SekaOwa often stirs controversy—starting with remarks like “we don’t need guitars”—and they’re frequently criticized.

But you could also say they’re constantly pursuing a new style that doesn’t fit within the conventional boundaries of music.

While I introduced them at the outset as a rock band, in that sense it might be more accurate to describe them not as a band, but as an entertainment collective.

With that, please enjoy the music of the entertainment collective SEKAI NO OWARI.
