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.

Masterpieces and Popular Songs (21–30) by SEKAI NO OWARI (Sekaowa)

silentSEKAI NO OWARI

The major 14th single “silent,” used as the theme song for the TV drama ‘Kono Koi Atatamemasuka.’ Its lyrics and sound evoke the special feeling of Christmas, building an ensemble that lets you picture the scenes.

The tempo is relaxed and the vocal range isn’t wide, making it easy to sing, but take care not to go off pitch because the melody moves up and down quite a bit.

It’s sure to be a hit at winter karaoke, so why not add it to your repertoire?
