Ulfuls Wonderful World

He sings the unusual A-melody in English, and I was amazed by Tortoise Matsumoto’s excellent pronunciation.

The B-melody and chorus are in Japanese, yet the song feels natural without making that contrast stand out.

In any case, I was reminded once again that when it comes to crafting big, mid-tempo melodies, no one can beat this band.

HeroUrufuruzu

Ulfuls “Hero”

What surprised me when I watched this song and its video clip was that the four members were performing in a single straight line.

Of course, the song also has an amazing melody.
