This is the first REOL song I heard on YouTube, that eventually led me to 宵々古今.
Other than these two, I haven’t really looked much into REOL’s other songs.
But I probably will at some point, because these two songs are pretty fun.

REOL – 宵々古今 (YoiYoi Kokon)
Let’s branch out a little with another Japanese song I’ve been digging lately. It’s been on my playlist for quite some time, but I’ve never posted a REOL song here.
So here we go!
暁Records – リバーストリガー (Reverse Rebirth Trigger)
And here we have the second Akatsuki track that was released recently, part of the HELLOHELL album. This one, Reverse Rebirth Trigger, was released on YouTube on July 29th.
The name for this song is a fun little play on the katakana リバース (“rebasu”), which can both mean “Reverse” and “Rebirth”, as that’s what both of these words end up becoming when converted into kana. So while リバース (“rebasu”) is only written once in the title, it can simultaneously hold both meanings.
暁Records – HELLOHELL
Akatsuki recently released two songs from their newest album on YouTube, also titled HELLOHELL, so looks like I’ve got a few to write about as they’re both excellent.
HELLOHELL is first up, having released on YouTube on July 22nd.
ShinRa Bansho – Time Paradox
Been listening to a lot of ShinRa Bansho, thanks to their 24/7 livestream of their music.
And this is a song that caught my ears.
暁Records – VENTEN
Let’s take a look at the latest from Akatsuki Records – VENTEN!
It’s a good one. Real good. If you listen to anything by Stack (the vocalist), let it be this!
暁Records – 酔生夢死 -Hedonism-
The song this time is 酔生夢死 -Hedonism-.
酔生夢死 basically means something along the lines of drinking until you die, or drinking your life away. The dictionary definition is “idling one’s life away”. But the kanji, in order, are “drunk”, “life”, “dream”, “death”, so you can sort of infer the meaning from that haha.
暁Records – KARMANATIONS
Been a while since I got around to listening to Akatsuki Records.
Or at least, posting about it, because I’ve been listening to it quite a bit lately.
ShinRa-Bansho – ははうさぎ (Mother Right Heron)
The other day I was looking for a feel-good song to use as a post theme for my Nagano mountains post and came upon this one, ははうさぎ, or Mother Right Heron by ShinRa-Bansho. And since, I’ve been hooked!
The song:
ShinRa-Bansho – 純情アルメリア (Pure-Hearted Armeria)
When I heard this one, I had to write a post for it.
YouTube’s autoplay feature has been giving me a lot of ShinRa-Bansho to listen to lately, I guess the algorithm favours them fairly well after all of the Akatsuki I’ve listened to.
The song this time is called 純情アルメリア (Pure-Hearted Armeria).
