JUST BE COOLTHE BAWDIES
An edgy guitar riff and a groovy bassline make their presence known right from the intro—this signature uptempo track was released with the very momentum they gained from their previous work, “THERE’S NO TURNING BACK.” With its simple song structure and rhythm, it’s incredibly easy to get into, and before you know it, you’ll find yourself dancing—an irresistible, almost mysterious charm packed into one song.
LOVE YOU NEED YOU feat. AITHE BAWDIES
A collaboration no one could have imagined at the time of its release: Japan’s representative rock ’n’ roll band THE BAWDIES teaming up with Japan’s premier soul singer, AI.
It’s the first collaboration in the band’s history, produced by NAOKI from the familiar LOVE PSYCHEDELICO.
There’s a backstory that when the song was written, ROY heard a woman’s voice singing the lead in his head, and he reached out to AI as a female vocalist who could authentically express soul music in Japan.
As for the single’s B-side, which includes this track, ROY asked AI to join him in covering Percy Mayfield’s “Hit the Road Jack,” and they recorded and included it.

The 11th single, released in 2016.
