Porno Graffiti has been getting busy for over 11 years now. With eight full-length albums under their belt and numerous singles, the rock group released their milestone 30th single this February, titled “Hitomi no Oku wo Nozokasete,” (“Let me Look Deep Into Your Eyes”) which acts as the theme song for the Japanese drama Shukumei 1969-2010.
I don’t claim to be a Porno Graffiti expert, as, in fact, I’ve only heard a few of their songs from the Fullmetal Alchamist and GTO, but I did look into some of their music before reviewing this single, and I am quite impressed with what I hear. Porno Graffiti doesn’t really sound like your typical Japanese rock group, as many of their songs feature unique ethnic elements and a pop-like sound that sets them apart from other groups, and “Hitomi no Oku wo Nozokasete” is no different.
