Track analysis:

1 – HERO

Sir Vanity is back with a new single in quick succession. This pleasant surprise brings us “HERO”, track featured as the theme song for the Tokyo Revengers stage play.

Now, when it comes to the track it is worth mentioning that this one is nothing like the band’s previous releases.

Shredding guitars and intense synths-piano combo take the stage. You can feel the urgency in their sound as guitars power their way through the track, while the song brings forth explosive, bassy drums and a crunchy bassline.

The little details in this song are beyond impressive.

The brief intermissions bring a dramatic element to their music, with the piano being responsible for creating an exquisite, rather theatrical soundscape in which Yoshiki Nakajima and Yuichiro Umehara’s somber vocals stand out.

“HERO” flies by with its intensity and fast-paced, something that couldn’t be found in previous songs of theirs.

The drama, the little piano, and bass accents, and the vocal performances are all at a higher level than the – already high – level that the band has displayed since day one.

This is a song to put you on the edge of your seat. This is rock music in its most exciting form.
