do you know Yorushika?

Yorushika is a Japanese rock duo composed of n-buna (vocaloid pd) and suis.

I really, REALLY love Yorushika. The first song I heard from them was "Say It" (Itte). that time I was suffering from depression and their song felt like someone was listening to me.

I really love their songs mainly because of the lyrics, which are really relatable. a prime example would be Hitchcock ("why do I even have to worry about schooling if all I want to do is live my life freely" kinda thing). i tend to focus on the message of the songs I listen to.

I'm an army, and bts has great songs about society, youth and they're really introspective. "Are you living your life?" Or "is your life the way you wanted it to be?" or "how do you use your soul to survive this society". Yorushika is the same, that's why I got hooked when I began compiling the translations. Some of their songs reflect on the way you treat people in your life, the things you gave up to be "comfortable", dealing with nostalgia and never getting moments back like they used to be, and even letting go.

they tend to use a lot of wordplay (if you're knowledgeable on kanji, then you'll have fun deciphering some of their lyrics). Kudos to the translators who put notes on the lyrics tbh. They're also similar in a way that both groups don't use pronouns in their songs (2016- present bts).

Their style is piano rock, mainly upbeat songs but they also have piano solo interludes in their album.

They're really secretive tho they've never revealed their faces (unlike some former vocaloid pds who also began doing solos) n-buna never showed his face. if i remember correctly tho n-buna does youtube lives where he plays the guitar and sings (he's really fuckin talented) but the video is just a still picture. they've never held a concert before

They also did a song in A Whisker Away! haven't watched the movie yet but I also loved the song bc it's chill (they released it last april)

I really think they're severely underrated, even with the movie promotions, so I'm trying to spread word that "hey! we actually have a decent band here who has god tier lyrics and melody so please support them and listen to their music!"

Here are some of my fave MVs from them (and don't forget to turn on captions/ look for the translations to feel their emotions trust me you won't regret Yorushika!)
