tricot’s classic and popular songs
Last updated:

Tricot is a rock band that skillfully handles odd time signatures, as symbolized by their catchphrase “non-dance-inducing.” Yet despite their complex song structures, their tracks are irresistibly grooveable—you can dance to them even though they’re “non-dance-inducing,” which is a big part of their appeal.

Their high level of musicianship and powerful live performances are also major draws, making their shows a must-see.

tricot’s best-known and most popular songs (1–10)

Anamaintricot

Tricot – Anamene / Anamein live in Manila 12/26/2015

This song was included on the first mini-album Bakuretsu Toriko-san, which was released exclusively at live venues.

It has been featured on several albums since then.

The guitar and bass lines are incredibly cool, making it easy to see why tricot has earned support across borders.

Good nighttricot

This track fully showcases the charm of Ikkyu Nakajima’s vocal-guitar performance—her delicate, crystal-clear voice that also carries real power.

It also features playful arrangements throughout and standout choral parts that highlight the lead vocal.

Ochan sensusutricot

It’s a piece overflowing with originality to an almost overwhelming degree, as if their sense of style were exploding.

I’ve heard it originated from the instrumental track “orange juice,” which was the B-side to their second single, “Oyasumi.” Even without vocals, it’s a standout track characterized by the richly engaging interplay of the instruments.

With its strikingly quirky title, this is one of tricot’s signature songs.

The way it showcases a variety of moods within a single track—executed with exceptional stability—can truly be called one of their proudest feats.

It’s an aggressive, high-energy tune that becomes a peak highlight at their live shows.

Breaktricot

It’s the title track of their third single, released in 2014.

Although they’re often known for intense, aggressive songs, this is a well-crafted mid-tempo tune that really lets you listen.

The emotive arrangement and the music video that matches the title are also standout features of this track.

Explosive Pannier-santricot

Explosive Pannier-santricot

A dance number brimming with originality by these “non-make-you-dance” girls.

It’s a work that stands apart from conventional dance tracks, built from a rapid-fire progression of contrasting, danceable beats and a barrage of riffs.

Though written in the early days of the group, it remains one of their signature songs and never fails to bring the house down live.

Divertricot

This is a track included on the 4th single, “E.” The song was written and composed by the bass vocalist, Hiromi Hirohiro.

It’s a popular number with catchy, gentle vibes and bittersweet lyrics.

The guitar phrases are also really cool.
