An emotional jolt, direct and unfiltered. “GOKUSAI” asserts itself as a surge of rock tension where every sound seems to paint a raw sensation. The track explores a deeply internal territory, balancing restraint and eruption, true to the DNA of modern Japanese rock. The term gokusai, evoking excess and emotional saturation, is translated here through incisive guitars, a taut drum pattern, and a firmly grounded bassline. The inhabited vocal delivery of MIDO (THE BINARY) embodies a quest for identity with no disguise, summed up by a line that resonates like a confession: “No way to find out who I am”. The arrangement by RYOTA FUJII, the guitar work and solo by YUSHI, and the bass by TATSUYA DOI give the song a controlled yet striking power. The music video, directed by DOI TATSUYA (LUMYNEX), extends this intensity through stylized, dramatic visuals designed to pull viewers in, all highlighted by Slash Music.
“No way to find out who I am” THE BINARY
THE BINARY, a rock universe in tune with its time
Without settling for mere sonic impact, THE BINARY has been building a strong and instantly recognizable identity for several years. With over 50,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, the band confirms a solid presence, driven by a rock universe infused with manga-inspired aesthetics and a strong visual ambition reflected in music videos racking up impressive views on their YouTube channel. Their discography shows clear creative consistency: the album “melon”, released in 2019, followed by “Jiu”, available since 2020, laid the foundations of a personal musical language oscillating between frontal energy and introspection. Today, “GOKUSAI” stands as another step forward, revealing an assumed artistic maturity and an ability to turn emotion into dense sonic material. As the year 2026 has only just begun, the signs are clear: THE BINARY deserves close attention. Keep your ears open — their trajectory is only expanding.
