Among the many Japanese rock bands, THE BAWDIES stand out with their unique talent.

Their charm lies above all in the husky vocals and a sound that evokes Western oldies.

Experience their surprisingly un-Japanese sound and worldview—something you’d never imagine from their appearance.

THE BAWDIES' famous and popular songs (1–10)

A track from THE BAWDIES’ fourth major-label album, “1-2-3.” It’s a song that makes you feel like you’re listening to Western music.

It’s reminiscent of the Beatles, yet it still distinctly conveys THE BAWDIES’ own style.

This cheerful title track from THE BAWDIES’ 7th single heralds the beginning of their “second chapter,” which started after their first-ever performance at Nippon Budokan in 2011.

Written specifically as the theme song for the nationally broadcast Kansai TV/Fuji TV drama series Hungry! starring popular actor Osamu Mukai, it marked their first tie-in with a TV drama.

With the drama becoming a major hit, THE BAWDIES’ name finally echoed across the entire country, and they even made their first appearance on TV Asahi’s popular music program Music Station.

It’s a song that radiates an irresistibly bright mood that lifts your spirits just by listening, and it serves as a de facto lead track from THE BAWDIES’ second album, “THERE’S NO TURNING BACK.” Chosen as the theme song for the Space Shower TV edition of the commercial for Pocky Chocolate—a beloved snack across generations from youth to adults—it’s truly one of their signature works, possessing the power to make people of all ages happy.

IT’S TOO LATETHE BAWDIES

THE BAWDIES – IT’S TOO LATE
IT'S TOO LATETHE BAWDIES

This is their first single after their major-label debut, released on November 4, 2009.

You can really feel the strong influence of 1960s garage rock, as well as bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

While their roots in that music come through clearly, it’s not just that—you can also feel a distinct BAWDIES character.

I’m in love with youTHE BAWDIES

From the 2nd album released in 2008, “Awaking of Rhythm And Blues.” Personally, I think this song is a bass-driven track that starts with the bass right from the intro and keeps progressing in a very cool way.

The chorus is beautiful, and it’s a vivid, excellent song all the way through.

HOT DOGTHE BAWDIES

With edgy sound, danceable and lively beats, and ROY’s powerful, distinctive vocals as Ba.Vo., this is an uptempo anthem that epitomizes THE BAWDIES.

It’s a must-hear, high-caliber track—quintessential, no-explanation-needed straight-ahead R&R.

KICKS!THE BAWDIES

The song “KICKS!” is packed with upbeat phrases, making it a very happy and fun track.

The music video is a visual piece depicting THE BAWDIES’ 100th-anniversary live show.

It’s delightful to watch the skeletal versions of THE BAWDIES dance comically.
