THE YELLOW MONKEY – Pearl

When it comes to bands most admired by men in their 40s, THE YELLOW MONKEY surely comes to mind.

Their music is captivating with a certain sensuality and wistfulness beneath a youthful vibe, and they continue to be supported by a wide range of generations today.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is Pearl.

It’s an intense track, but because it has few long sustained notes and a relatively narrow vocal range, most men should be able to sing it well.

Be sure to check it out.

THE YELLOW MONKEY – I don’t know

A track from their first album in 19 years, 9999.

It’s packed with wild, rough-edged charm.

Since the song uses “I” as the narrator, vivid images naturally come to mind as you listen.

It’s not just about being troubled, nor is it being dazed.

I picture someone walking with a blank expression, constantly engaged in self-questioning.

That sense of not seeing the true motive gives it a mysterious quality that makes the other person’s heart race!

Balloon Balloon

A track where Kazuya Yoshii’s seductive vocals shine over a lively 8-beat.

It’s not exactly a universally famous song, but its catchy groove might get everyone moving.

Despite the simple melody, Yoshii’s distinctive singing style means you’ll need a bit of practice to pull it off properly.

But the sense of achievement when you nail it is absolutely incredible!

THE YELLOW MONKEY – Bulb

THE YELLOW MONKEY is a rock band that continues to play a leading role on the scene even today.

They’ve produced many classic songs, but among their most popular works is “Kyūkon” (Bulb).

This track is a quintessential expression of their unique worldview, featuring emotionally rich vocals.

It might seem challenging at first, but the vocal line in this piece is surprisingly simple, with a relatively narrow range.

Because the melodic rises and falls are gentle, it’s easy to keep your pitch steady.

THE YELLOW MONKEY – BURN

It’s also THE YELLOW MONKEY’s biggest hit, which was used as the theme song for the drama “Shokuinshitsu,” starring Atsuko Asano and Toru Nakamura.

The song has a heavy, somber tone, but Kazuya Yoshii’s voice resonates beautifully, making it a track well-suited for summer.

Heavenly FlightTHE YELLOW MONKEY13rank/position

Heaven Trip (Remastered)

This is a track included on THE YELLOW MONKEY’s sixth original album, SICKS, released in 1997.

For vocalist Yoshii, it holds a particularly strong, special significance on par with JAM, and it experiments with arrangements they hadn’t tried before—such as stopping the drums and entering the chorus in the first verse.

It’s a long piece, running 8 minutes and 27 seconds.
