Recommended Bands from Taiwan: Notable Acts Energizing the Asian Scene (31–40)
Traffic jam cha-chaō fuku gakudan
This song, released in 2015, is about how you inevitably get irritated when you hit rush hour while driving.
It’s a song about the roads being packed and being surrounded by cars.
I especially recommend listening to it when you’re in the car.
With its light melody and fun vocals, it’s sure to make time in the car fly by.
sevenOotoubang
This song was released in 2007, and its lyrics were written around the theme of “seven,” the same as the song’s title.
It says that anything will be forgiven up to seven times, but if that number is exceeded, no matter how deep the love, those feelings will be withdrawn.
The song has a slightly rock, pop style.
I love summer.datsuraku
It was released in 2004.
At first it has a Hawaiian vibe and falls under the world pop genre.
Partway through, both the melody and rhythm suddenly pick up tempo, giving it a fun feel.
When you listen to this song, it feels like you’re at the beach in summer, so it’s highly recommended for summer listening.
One Hundred Happy ThingsPiA gakudan
This song has a fast tempo, but the lead vocal is gentle, so it feels relaxing.
It also includes some rap.
With the combination of guitar sounds and a touch of electronic elements, I think it’s a really great song.
When I listen to it, I just want to sit on the sofa and unwind.
A Rocker to the Moonshibun’eigakudan
This song shares the same name as the Taiwanese film One Rocker’s Journey to the Moon and was released as its theme song.
The song’s message is that nothing in life is impossible; if you work hard and keep going, you will surely succeed.
The track is fast-paced and uplifting.
