RAG MusicBand
A wonderful Japanese music band

A hidden gem by T-BOLAN. A precious number I want to keep singing and listening to.

T-BOLAN, a rock band that was hugely successful in the 1990s.

Their songs, which sing of straightforward love despite a certain clumsiness, are truly captivating.

Their mega-hits “Hanashitaku wa Nai” and “Bye For Now” are widely known and beloved at karaoke.

From 2023 to 2024, they embarked on a tour pledging to perform all their singles, and in 2025, a 47-prefecture tour featuring their hit songs also became a hot topic.

In this article, we’ll introduce some of T-BOLAN’s hidden gems.

Please enjoy the exquisite tracks born from Arashi Moritomo’s moving vocals and the band’s outstanding musicianship.
