Raw LoveKing Gnu
Srv.
Vinci, the band that later became King Gnu—pronounced “Server Vinci.” Since the production was handled by Mr.
Tsuneta just like with King Gnu, I’ll introduce this work as a special case under King Gnu.
This piece features a lot of key changes, so many people may feel it’s hard to sing.
It’s certainly far more challenging than typical J-pop, but the vocals don’t start immediately after each modulation.
There are a few beats of rest before the singing begins, which should make it easier to handle.
The core of rock is anti-establishment, anti-authority. Now that I’ve made it, I can’t sing rock anymore. I don’t want to fool a single person in the audience. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Because I succeeded, I’m going to die.Kurt Cobain
Kurt Cobain, the lead vocalist of Nirvana who left behind these words, was found dead at his home in Seattle on April 8, 1994.
It is said to have been a suicide, but the truth remains unknown, and there are films that explore the circumstances of his death.
His words convey well the sincerity of Kurt’s feelings toward rock—namely, that once you become commercially successful, it’s no longer rock.
LORELEYL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
This is the opening track from the fifth album HEART, released in 1998.
For the band, this album marked their first work after drummer yukihiro officially joined.
The saxophone in the intro is something vocalist hyde practiced in secret from the other members, and he has performed it himself live as well.
It’s a song with a relaxed yet dynamic rhythm that feels wonderfully comfortable.
LOCH SENULANPA
Included on the 1991 album “PEDESTRIAN on the Water.” A five-piece music band formed in 1989 in Osaka Prefecture.
It’s a refreshing mid-tempo track whose clear vocal tone glides pleasantly over a lyrical, melancholic melody line and smoothly flowing rhythm.
ROAD RACERLOUDNESS
LOUDNESS, also known for being the first Japanese artists to perform on the stage of Madison Square Garden, released “ROAD RACER” as their third single in 1983.
It teaches the importance of following the path you believe in.
Lost On YouLP
Singer-songwriter LP has gained popularity for her sentimental vocals.
She is an artist who has come out as a lesbian, and combined with her cool looks, she has female fans all over the world.
Even from a male writer’s perspective, her gestures and singing style are the kind that make you fall for her as a man.
Her song “Lost On You,” released in 2016, is the track that cemented her popularity.
It’s memorable for its sentimental melody and lyrics that sing about falling in love so deeply that nothing else is visible.
ROSIERLUNA SEA
As one of the rock bands that thrived in the 1990s and still shine undimmed today, LUNA SEA marked their 35th anniversary in 2024 and remained highly active, including a nationwide tour.
As a surprise to cap off this memorial year, could an appearance on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen be more plausible than we think? If they were to take the Kouhaku stage, the song everyone would expect is undoubtedly their signature track, “ROSIER.” Released in July 1994, it has been featured on numerous best-of albums and enjoys overwhelming support from fans.
As a defining song of ’90s visual kei rock, it continues to resonate with many people to this day.
At Kouhaku, performing this track that has journeyed alongside the band’s history would surely whip the venue into a frenzy.
