Love and a Machine GunFlipper’s Guitar
Flipper’s Guitar was a band that gained popularity for its inventive sound, which distilled neo-acoustic and Shibuya-kei into indie pop.
Many of you may know them as the group that produced two renowned musicians: Cornelius and Kenji Ozawa.
Their song “Love and Machine Gun” is one of their signature tracks.
While it has a jazz flavor, the vocals aren’t particularly jazzy.
Rather, the vocal line is subdued and ennui-laden with little dynamic variation, making it far easier to sing than a lot of typical J-pop.

This is one of the songs Hata has performed most frequently, and it’s said to be sung with various interpretations at his live shows.
If you’ve ever struggled to express your feelings while harboring a crush, this song will surely give you a gentle push.

Rather than being a solo showpiece, this is a song that seems likely to get everyone hyped together.

In 2009, the comedy group Red Theaters covered it, bringing it back into the spotlight.
Choosing a song that makes everyone feel like they had fun singing along also gives off the relaxed confidence of a man in his 40s and is likely to raise the crowd’s opinion of him.
