Ling tosite sigure is a three-piece rock band known for their eclectic musicality, influenced by various genres, and their distinctive high-tone vocals.

Their track “Kodoku no Saimō,” released digitally on November 8, 2023, was selected as the opening theme for the Netflix-exclusive anime Onmyoji.

The mysterious lyrics, which align with the anime’s worldview, heighten anticipation for the series as an opening theme.

With its rapidly shifting melodic lines that amp up the energy, it’s an eccentric rock tune.

Arpeggio of Autumn’s SignsRin to shite Shigure

Arpeggio of Autumn’s Signs

Ling tosite sigure, a Japanese three-piece rock band affectionately known as “Shigure.” Released in July 2006, “Aki no Keihai no Arpeggio” builds on the band’s characteristically aggressive rock sound, yet TK’s quiet arpeggios on vocal and guitar evoke a cool atmosphere reminiscent of autumn.

The lyrics are filled with evocative phrases that conjure the season as well, making it a recommended rock track to enjoy in the fall!

Twisting like a dragon, vivid mindRin to shite Shigure

Ling tosite sigure “Tornadoed Fresh Brain” MUSIC VIDEO

A three-piece rock band that keeps producing catchy songs despite their piercing high-tone vocals and eccentric musicality.

Their striking band name was born when TK, the band’s central member, decided on a Japanese name: he combined the phrase “rin to shite” (dignified, poised) with “shigure” (a sudden, passing rain) after their music was likened to rain that pours down out of nowhere.

The expressive range created by their male–female twin vocals and their hysteric sound delivers a truly one-of-a-kind impact.

With addictive tracks and a hooky band name that drives audiences wild, they’re a band to keep a close eye on.

Samurai, Slashing Image, You LaughRin to shite Shigure

Ling tosite sigure Samurai / Zanzō / Kimi Warau

This track, distinguished by its gritty, grinding bass, is remarkable for its tense, razor-edged atmosphere that, as the title suggests, feels like a samurai focusing their mind.

It carries a tension reminiscent of the theme from Battles Without Honor and Humanity.

DIE meets HARDRin to shite Shigure

Ling tosite sigure 'DIE meets HARD'

Although this track doesn’t feature the gritty, hard-driving guitar techniques typical of Ling tosite sigure, their mysterious and erotic world remains intact.

TK’s one-of-a-kind, razor-sharp high tones slice through the space like a Telecaster.

The Dream of DestructionRin to shite Shigure

I think it’s a lively, hype-inducing band song.

The vocals are very high, so even if you try to sing it yourself, it’s probably hard to pull off well.

But it’s a catchy tune that makes you want to hum along.

I felt it’s one of the songs that really showcases Ling tosite sigure’s appeal.

TK in the evening glowRin to shite Shigure

Rin Toshite Shigure – TK in the Evening Scenery

This track has a title that sounds like a pun or even a rap—“TK in the Evening View”—but the sound features that sharply angular style so characteristic of Ling tosite sigure, which is extremely compelling.

Still, why did they choose a title like this…
