The members of Japanese rock band King Gnu spoke with Billboard Japan for its Monthly Feature interview series highlighting today’s leading artists and works. The hugely popular four-man group released THE GREATEST UNKNOWN on Nov. 29, its first new studio album in about four years.

King Gnu Holds Top Two Spots on Japan Hot 100 With ‘Ichizu’ & ‘Sakayume…

Trending on billboard.

THE GREATEST UNKNOWN is really an amazing album. Could you tell us how you all feel about it?

Satoru Iguchi: Well, we presented what we consider to be King Gnu’s “answer” to J-pop once with the previous album CEREMONY , and from there we wanted to make another album as a counter to that, and I think that has taken form in a solid way. 

Yu Seki: This time, I’m not just playing the drums like I did before. In fact, I hardly play the drums at all. It feels like I was able to try something new.

Kazuki Arai: A lot of the tracks were featured as tie-ins, and this band has considerable variation depending on the song, so during the production I was like, “Can these really become an album?” and was really worried. Once the project was completed, it really felt like something that could be listened to as a single piece of work. I think my strongest feeling is that of huge relief.

Daiki Tsuneta: I really sensed the growth of the band and each individual member. I feel relieved.

Is the sense of accomplishment different in nature from that of CEREMONY ?

Arai: Yeah. The production flow of the album was also definitely different between CEREMONY and this time. For CEREMONY , Tsuneta would sometimes share with the band a song that had to be finished before he was sure about how it should be done, so we’d have to record it on that day even though the arrangement hadn’t been finalized. But with the new album, it’s like each of us found common ground within ourselves in that sense. It felt like we made this album as an extension of our daily lives, and it’s still ongoing. So I feel really fulfilled, but not burnt out.

Where does the difference come from?

Arai: I think the biggest difference is that the production flow was different from the previous one. Specifically, Tsuneta built his own recording studio, and we began working on songs based on a division of labor system. Each of us was able to fully concentrate on our own parts, so we had more time to reflect on ourselves. Satoru’s way of approaching his singing and Yu’s way of approaching music programming take time, so I imagine our way of doing things before was obviously a bit hard for them to begin with.

Tsuneta: Yeah. There was a brief period when the four of us would get together in the studio and record a little bit at a time, starting with the rhythm section and somehow making the rest of it all add up in the end, but I thought that didn’t reflect everyone’s intrinsic creativity. This time, everyone adapted to the new flow. I think it was probably a good fit for all of us.

Seki: Yeah, a part of me wanted it. When we do it together, we have to record the drums first each time due to the nature of the instrument, but I always thought I could come up with something better if I could record my part later.

Iguchi: I think I have a really broad range this time. There are elements of myself from when I studied classical music, and the R&B that I’ve been listening to recently, and I also sing like I did on our first album ( Tokyo Rendez-Vous ). The songs of each of our eras make up a coherent album. Like the others mentioned, Daiki completed his studio and… Temperament-wise, playing in a sandbox by myself fits my personality the best. It occurred to me again that even if there are lots of people in that sandbox, making sand balls without worrying about what they think is what I prefer doing. It was easier for me to express myself, to put playfulness into the work. So there’s a lot that element of playfulness in this album that I couldn’t do in CEREMONY .

That’s so true, and not only the vocals but also the songs themselves are like that. That’s exactly how I feel about “SPECIALZ,” the first song that came out after your CLOSING CEREMONY stadium tour. It’s a pretty aggressive song that doesn’t worry about what people think. It doesn’t have a typical band sound and the beat and groove are weighty. But it turned out to be accepted by the masses as a pop song. I imagine you all must have felt a sense of accomplishment about that.

Tsuneta: You know what, I’m surprisingly calm about such things. I don’t really see myself as being a catchy kind of person fundamentally, so it was just good timing in a lot of ways. [ Laughs ]

Seki: Super calm. [ Laughs ]

Tsuneta: Well, I do think that the four of us have been able to nurture King Gnu into becoming a band can convincingly put out that kind of music.

Tsuneta: You’re right.

And people around the world are listening to “SPECIALZ,” not just in Japan. Billboard Japan launched its new Global Japan Songs Excl. Japan chart in September, and it’s the ranking of Japanese music being listened to outside of Japan obtained by omitting figures of the Japanese market. “SPECIALZ” has been charting in the top 3 ever since the launch of this new list. It’s an interesting phenomenon.

Tsuneta: Sounds like it’ll bring in some money. [ Laughs ] But it’s amazing. When I went overseas earlier this year from winter through spring to work with artists over there, people really seemed to like my tracks that sounded like this. I got the sense that this type of industrial music with such a beat is compelling and cool to people anywhere, so I figured King Gnu might as well do it since we all think it’s cool. So I’m putting out stuff that’s really close to how I feel about things at the moment, like the things I’m interested in or think are hip right now. I’m in this mode where I feel the need to reflect those sensations more directly and straightforwardly in the band’s music, and that it would be more fun to do so.

In that sense, what I really like about this album is that the middle section comprised of the new tracks “IKAROS,” “W●RKAHOLIC,” and “):Ashura:(” plus “Senryo Yakusha” that’s been greatly changed from the single version, is the solid highlight of the album. The set contains so many tracks previously released as singles, yet the songs that are the most personal and directly express what you want to do musically at the moment are the stars of this album. “):Ashura:(” is just so good.

Arai: In terms of album production, it was really only towards the end of the last four years that we were able to incorporate that flow I mentioned earlier. The last five months or so.

Tsuneta: We considered the existing songs along that flow, too. That’s why we changed the arrangements.

Mr. Tsuneta, you’ve been saying things like you’re going to move your base and change the way you work after next year’s tour. Could you share why you feel that way?

Tsuneta: In the five years since we released our first album, we haven’t taken any breaks and I’ve been feeling it’s not healthy to live according to this workflow. I just think it’s better to review the cycle once. With CEREMONY , I deliberately decided to take that route and focused on selling as much music as possible, but outside of Japan, Beyoncé takes a year to rehearse and performs at Coachella. I mean, there’s no way I could compete with someone at that incredible level who works like that by living according to this current workflow. I think the time has come for us to fundamentally rethink our approach.

So, this isn’t about working in Japan or elsewhere, but about competing on the level of Beyoncé’s Coachella performance since you’re making music.

Tsuneta: I want to be on the same playing field… It doesn’t mean to sing like her or anything like that, but as a creator of art, I want to face (creating art) like her, that way of not being over-consumed. Putting aside whether or not I was able to do so with this album, it’s how I want to live my life.

Japan rock band King Gnu plays sold-out show in Singapore

Japanese rock band King Gnu played its first Singapore show to a sold-out crowd on April 10 at The Star Theatre as part of its Asia tour.

The band’s latest studio album, The Greatest Unknown, released in November 2023, has been making waves, notably with its opening track Specialz.

The track serves as the opening theme song for the second season of the popular anime series Jujutsu Kaisen. It has featured in several TikTok videos including  Japan Airlines’ viral recreation of the opening theme .

During the concert the band's vocalist and guitarist Daiki Tsuneta expressed his fondness for Singapore: "Singapore has become my favourite city." His declaration was met with cheers and applause from the crowd.

Among the attendees was Teo Zhe Kai, a 19-year-old Singaporean student who told TNP that he “had to fight for the tickets” when they went on sale in January.

"It was great, everyone was excited,” he said. “I stood in the front row, so I managed to see everything. What I see online matches what I see in real life."

Fans from across the region also flew in to see the band live. Among them was Aurellia Silaen, a 17-year-old Indonesian student who flew in with a delegate of Indonesian fans.

“We were discussing on X, asking which Indonesians are going to the King Gnu concert, and we were all, like, ‘me, me, me, me, me,’” she said. “So we all decided to meet up and here we are, we’re now pretty much friends. It’s amazing.”

As the concert drew to a close, queues for band merchandise stretched long, with several items selling out quickly. Hordes of fans hung around the venue, still high with concert excitement.

On her experience catching King Gnu live for the first time, Silaen added: “They blew it out of the park. They were amazing. I don’t think we’ll ever have another band like this in our lifetime.”

Japanese rock band King Gnu impressed by Singapore Airlines food

SINGAPORE – Japanese rock band King Gnu may have sold out all seven shows on their four-city Asia tour in Singapore, Taipei, Shanghai and Seoul.

But the quartet – comprising Satoru Iguchi, Daiki Tsuneta, Kazuki Arai and Yu Seki – are still doubtful whether they can get their fans to go wild. 

It is, after all, their first time staging an overseas tour.

At an interview with The Straits Times a day prior to their show at The Star Theatre on April 10 – the second leg of their Asia tour after Taipei – bassist Arai, 31, says in Japanese: “Honestly, we’re a bit insecure about whether the crowd will be hyped up for us.”

This is King Gnu’s first trip to Singapore, and they admit they do not know much about the country and have no idea what sort of reaction they would receive. But they already have a good first impression.

“The in-flight meal I had on Singapore Airlines was really good,” drummer Seki, 31, says, while showing this reporter a photo of the seafood ban mian he had on the flight here.  

King Gnu are known for popular anime theme songs, in particular for the dark fantasy anime series Jujutsu Kaisen (2020 to present), which is adapted from a manga series of the same name.

They wrote and sang Ichizu and Sakayume, both of which serve as theme songs for the movie spin-off Jujutsu Kaisen 0 (2021). They also created the song Specialz for the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen, which was released in 2023.

Specialz is included in their latest album The Greatest Unknown, which their Asia tour is named after.

King Gnu say they, too, are fans of Jujutsu Kaisen, and vocalist-keyboardist Iguchi, 30, got emotional while reading the manga.

“I have some of the individual manga volumes at home. And I cried when Satoru Gojo died,” he says.

Gojo is a major character and fan favourite in the manga series, whose death in a chapter published in 2023 was a controversial shock. But vocalist-guitarist Tsuneta, the primary lyricist of the group, likes the series’ main antagonist – the one who kills Gojo.

The 31-year-old says: “I’d say my favourite character is Sukuna. He’s the big bad.”

While King Gnu are now one of the hottest Japanese bands, it took some time for them to find success.  

The group emerged from a solo project started in 2013 by Tsuneta under the name Srv.Vinci. Their big break came in 2019 with the song Hakujitsu (which translates to Daylight), which has more than 478 million views on YouTube. They followed up with their album Ceremony, which was released in January 2020. It peaked on the Japanese Oricon albums chart and Billboard Japan albums chart, and was one of the 10 best-selling albums of that year worldwide.

But their popularity also coincided with the Covid-19 pandemic, and their Japan tour for Ceremony was cancelled a week before it was due to start. 

Arai recalls: “Ceremony went on sale right before the pandemic shut things down, so in a way, the timing helped in that it hit the shelves when people could still go out and buy CDs.

“If it were released during the height of the pandemic, we don’t know whether it would have sold as well. So, we consider ourselves very blessed.”

Correction note: In an earlier version of the story, we said that the group’s original name was Mrs Vinci. This is incorrect. It should be Srv.Vinci. We are sorry for the error.
