Thermae RomaeChatto Monchī
Chatmonchy’s 12th single, released in 2012.
Written specifically as the theme song for Fuji TV’s anime Thermae Romae, it naturally takes hot springs as its theme.
But rather than being laid-back, it’s an energizing track with Chatmonchy’s signature powerful, rock sound.
The lyrics, which also focus on Lucius’s struggles in the anime, convey an assertive, “on the attack” mood while singing about baths.
Sharp, gleaming guitar lines and a clear, high-toned vocal give it a crisp, refreshing feel!

They operate irregularly, with no consistent release schedule, and their commitment to on-site, live-focused activity only enhances their underground credibility.
