Like “Kizuke yo Baby,” it’s included on the second album, FIXION.

Although it’s the ninth track, the chorus is pronounced the same as the album title, with only a different spelling, which makes you wonder if there’s a hidden meaning.

It features up-tempo, driving phrases with call-and-response that matches the song title.

It’s a track that gets the audience involved and really keeps everyone grooving!

Included as the first track on the 2nd album, FIXION.

Although the song features unison phrases and intricate lines that stand out, its catchy lyrics make it very easy to listen to.

A high school girl appears in the music video, and the visuals match the lyrics and tone so well that it draws you even more into the song’s content.

UNDER and OVERTHE ORAL CIGARETTES

A huge hit on TikTok and YouTube! This is a track by THE ORAL CIGARETTES, currently making waves as the opening theme for the TV anime “A Stranger in the Next Life.” The lyrics, told from a boy’s perspective, are striking, vividly portraying life’s choices and inner conflicts over a hard rock sound.

Released in October 2024, this song marks the band’s first anime theme in three years.

It perfectly matches the anime’s world, which depicts a human drama set in the yakuza underworld.

It’s a great listen when you’re at a crossroads in life or feel like you’re losing sight of your sense of purpose.

Two music videos from the self-produced second album, “New Moon and Taurus,” which was released in the final period of the old lineup, have been compiled into one.

2012, the same year, must have been a tumultuous year for this band: despite member changes and health issues, they won the inaugural Grand Prix at the four-company joint audition “MASH A&R.”

The Oral Cigarettes – Stay One [Kanji/Romaji/Sub Español]

This song stands out for its striking guitar riff.

It has a strong visual kei vibe, but it pairs very well with the vocalist’s voice, making it a pleasant listen.

You can really feel the high level of musicianship and the tight cohesion of the band, so definitely give it a listen.

S-LowTHE ORAL CIGARETTES

S-Low – The Oral Cigarettes

As you can tell from the title, this is a relatively slow-tempo song by The Oral Cigarettes.

The vocals have a mature, slightly drifting vibe that really elevates the track.

Partly due to its style, it leans somewhat toward the visual kei side, but it’s a very cool song.

THE ORAL CIGARETTES “Kantanna Koto” Music Video

A limited single available only at live venues and via streaming.

It’s marked by lyrics that burst in with overwhelming momentum right from the emotional opening guitar riff.

At the Zepp DiverCity one-man show where this limited single was released, the set was significantly altered due to vocalist Yamanaka’s throat issues.

It was later announced that he had vocal cord polyps, leading to a temporary hiatus from live performances.

He safely returned in December of the same year, putting fans at ease.
