You don’t listen to rock.aimyon
Aimyon, who has even performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, has now become a singer-songwriter leading the Japanese pop scene.
No matter which track you listen to, her songs leave the impression that they’re all excellent.
“Kimi wa Rock nanka Kikanai” isn’t a ballad, nor is it an all-out rock tune—the comfortable, just-right groove feels great.

That subtle, roundabout touch is so distinctly Aimyon, and it’s what makes so many people fall for her.
