TOTALFAT’s famous and popular songs
Last updated:

Let me introduce songs by TOTALFAT, a four-piece melodic core band.

They’re like the textbook example of melodic hardcore: relentlessly upbeat, catchy, and bursting with speed.

With twin vocals that switch leads depending on the song, a left-handed rhythm guitarist, a lead guitarist wielding a Flying V, and drums set up completely flat, they’re a band with serious visual punch as well.

Beyond those traits, the sheer coolness of their songs is a huge part of their appeal.

From tracks that make you want to sway your body to ones that make you want to jump, their music has a remarkable power to move the hearts and bodies of the audience.

It’s well known that they’ve been bandmates with KEYTALK and Good Morning America since their high school days.

In particular, the drummer Bunta is said to have even lived with Tanashin from Good Morning America for a time.

Now, enjoy the high-energy tunes of TOTALFAT!

PARTY PARTYTOTALFAT

TOTALFAT’s hype anthem “PARTY PARTY.” It’s a killer tune that’s almost guaranteed to be played at festivals.

Just like the title suggests, the agogô bell in the intro instantly transforms the live venue into a full-on party.

The flow from the rap-driven A melody into the high-speed, exhilarating chorus is flawless.

And the unison guitar part behind the second chorus is absolutely breathtaking.

Lizard of SummerTOTALFAT

When it comes to TOTALFAT, I always picture a lot of songs that suit summer, and as the title suggests, this track is the perfect fit for the season.

The guitar riffs that incorporate hard rock and metal elements are one of TOTALFAT’s charms, and you can catch a glimpse of that appeal in this song as well.

This song was also used as a theme song for the anime Naruto.

As you’d expect from a theme for an anime based on a shonen manga, the lyrics are uplifting and encouraging.

The unison section where two guitars play the same solo simultaneously is strikingly beautiful as well.

Watching Kuboty and the left-handed Shun facing each other as they play is absolutely electrifying.

OverdriveTOTALFAT

It’s the title track from the 2010 album “OverDrive,” and it’s been popular for a long time.

It’s a very straightforward, high-energy song with lots of appeal, including those refreshing arpeggio phrases.

From a drummer’s perspective, the China cymbal hit when it goes into the final chorus is perfectly spot-on.

There’s a coolness that transcends questions of skill or technique.

Dear My EmpireTOTALFAT

With its energetic performance and heartfelt lyrics, this song instantly captures listeners’ hearts.

It powerfully portrays a young person charging straight toward the big dream they discovered at seventeen.

It also conveys gratitude to the people met along the way while chasing that dream, making the stirring lyrics feel like a push on the listener’s back.

Featured on TOTALFAT’s third album, “FOR WHOM THE ROCK ROLLS,” this track was released in May 2009.

It’s a perfect song for anyone striving toward their dreams or wanting to express gratitude to someone important.

The song that immediately sparks a crowd sing-along from the intro is “Room45.” In addition to its irresistibly jump-inducing rhythm, it overflows with West Coast vibes.

TOTALFAT’s drummer Bunta is reportedly a fan of Travis Barker, the drummer of the American pop-punk band BLINK-182, and it seems the drum sound on this track was crafted with BLINK-182’s songs as a reference.
