Though they’ve been placed snuggly into the superfluous genre of J-pop, like many groups, SEKAI NO OWARI prefers not to be thrown into any particular box, and shows its diversity through songs like “Mr. Heartache,” a dreamy, jangly vocoder tune, and “ANTI-HERO,” which features elements of jazz, soul, rock and classical.
“Fukase, Saori and I make all the songs,” Nakajin (@nakajin_sno), the band’s leader, tells Instagram @music. “There really isn’t a set process on how the songs are made and it varies song by song, but there is this shared feeling that can’t be described in words — a feeling that only childhood friends can understand.”
