・Overview & Author’s personal opinion
The members each have a deep knowledge of many aspects of music, which gives the music a very highbrow feel.
It is truly amazing that such difficult music has been accepted by the masses and sold well in Japan.
I think this band is expanding the possibilities and understanding of music among the general public in Japan.
Personally, I think their guitar sound is the coolest.
I also feel that they are very particular about their video works, etc.
It’s like an artist’s life is all about the artist.

Prayer X If life is as fleeting as the tears that well up in my eyes, what in the world do I believe in when I repeatedly meet and part with you day after day? When I was born, I cried and screamed I'm doing my best to live so that I don't fall apart, so that I don't lose my life I have a knife stuck in my chest and I can't pull it out The moment you pull it out, you'll burst into tears, won't you? If life is as fleeting as the tears that well up, what in the world do I believe in when I keep meeting and parting with people day after day? I don't know if the lie I hid behind my carefree smile to live is true or false anymore. I've lost sight of even my place in the world. Consumed by anger Longing for the light I will look at the sky again today If this life has meaning Tell me if this life has meaning In these fragile, fleeting days What on earth should we believe in now that we have drunk up all the pain and sorrow? If life is as fleeting as the tears that overflow, what on earth should we believe in as we meet and part day after day?
白日 (HAKUJITSU) / broad daylight Sometimes you unknowingly hurt or lose someone, and only then do you know the crime you committed. You can't go back, you have to walk into tomorrow, even if it seems as shimmering as it once was even if the snow is falling What can I do now? What can I be? If I'm going to live for someone else, I can't just say what's right. If we meet again in some town, will you remember my name? By that time, I'm sure a spring breeze will blow I'll be born anew and start my life from scratch, but I'll be walking in the now, a land that sticks to me and won't let go. I'll say goodbye to everything in white Let the falling snow wrap it all up Just for today, hide everything from me I can't go back, even if I envy the old days, I have to walk into tomorrow Even though it's snowing We laughed like we always did. I thought we could understand each other. Missing the vague signs, searching for the endless mistakes If we meet again beyond the seasons, may I call your name By that time, I'm sure a spring breeze will blow I'll be born anew and start my life from scratch, but I'll be living in the now that I can't help but feel connected by the scruff of my neck I'll say goodbye to everything in white Let the falling snow freeze my heart for once Let me forget everything When I wake up in the morning, I'll be someone else. I can't be someone else, can I? Don't listen to me. In the midst of my busy life, I've only grown older What awaits me on the other side is either heaven or hell Because people are always insensitive, they can't understand what's in the middle of their hearts Still, I know that I'm supposed to love and be loved and live my life, and all I can do is regret. Everyone makes a mistake or two that can't be undone It's just the way it is. I'm sick of it. I'll be born anew and start my life from scratch, but I'll walk through the now, a land that clings to me and won't let go A clean slate, a clean slate, a clean slate, a clean slate Let the falling snow wrap it all up Just for today, hide everything from me
Vinyl Penetrate this heart and pierce it with all your might Don't pretend you don't know what you're doing while you're burning up I'm tired of killing time I want to take off this vinyl cloak I want to escape from your thoughts of innocence Goodbye, my love Go ahead and run wild until you've had your fill. Isn't it pathetic? It's maddening. I'm just gonna dive into the smoke that rises from the clamor. "I don't have any fun with you." "You have no play, you have no play, you have no play. Let's live deceitfully with light steps today Deceiving a tomorrow that's pitch-black Who are you pointing the knife at? What's driving you? Stop the painful "reality" already Goodbye, my love. Breathe in, my love. Breathe in the air that this city so richly deserves. From the vinyl that's too hot to handle If you're out on the streets You've got to play with this world A frenzy, a frenzy, a frenzy You've got to snatch it, don't you? Goodbye, with love Dress to your heart's content From the boisterous nightclubs Goodbye, with love Dress it up to the hilt Don't let go of my hand Don't you dare think that you're the only one I'm just taking a chance. It's refreshing. I'm just going to dive into the crucible of the turbulent times. "I'm not playing with you. I'm not playing with you." "I'm not playing with you. I'm with you. I'm sure you'll get your jollies, right? Go wild. It's pathetic, right? I'm pissed off. I'm so pissed off, I'm just gonna jump We're just gonna jump in We're gonna play all the games in the world I'm gonna play through the noise, the madness, the rain I'll grin at the end of it all
