Porno Graffitti
Porno Graffitti (ポルノグラフィティ, Porno Graffitti), also known as Porno (ポルノ, Porno) to their fans, is a Japanese male rock band from Innoshima. The band got their name from the album Pornograffitti by the band Extreme. They currently record under Sony Music Entertainment Japan Records (also known as SME Records) label.

The band members first met at a High-school festival and formed the band, performing covers of Japanese rock bands Ziggy and Boowy.
They were separated after graduation but one year later they met again in Osaka and formed the band again.
While making their first demo, they performed on the streets and in venues and won a couple of awards! Finally they signed with Amuse (management) and SME Japan
In their career so far they have since produced loads of albums, (including 2 'Best' albums) singles and Live tour DVD's, and they continue to produce great music at a fast pace which always rates highly on the Oricon charts!

In June 2004 Masami Shiratama (Tama) left the band to pursue his own interests as a solo artist, but the other members have continued on without him as a two member band to produce the fantastic THUMPx album!

Porno Graffitti have also done quite a few themes for anime and dramas, they did the opening theme to Full Metal Alchemist (Melissa) and the second opening theme for GTO (Hitori No Yoru)
As well as the theme to Dorama 'Suekko Chonan Ane Sannin' (Aiga Yobu Houe)
And if that's not enough their song 'Mugen' was used as the theme for the 2002 FIFA World Cup by NHK Broadcasting.

In 2005 they did the opening theme for the Jdorama 'Konya hitori no bed de' (Jobailo) and in 2006 they did another anime opening for the anime 'Tenpou Ibun Ayakashi Ayashi' (Winding Road).

Described on the official Sony Music site as having super-pop tunes with in-depth lyrics, Porno Graffitti's sound is incredibly difficult to pin down to one genre, switching effortlessly from rock to pop, ballads to upbeat songs, one thing is consistant about thier music; they are always interesting and easy to listen too!

Porno Graffitti continues to move the hearts of listeners regardless of age, gender or language!

Lyric added by: KamuiEgawa

生まれながらの才能のことを神様からのギフトと人は
呼ぶらしいけれど僕のはちっちゃい箱だな

リボンもなくて色だって地味で みすぼらしいその箱が
なんか恥ずかしく後ろ手に隠していた

最初に空を飛んだ鳥は翼を広げた格好で
どのくらい助走をつけて地面を蹴ったんだろう

自問自答きっとそこには答えがないことを
意外と前に気付いてたかも 悩んでる自分に酔っていた
明日に架かる橋はもろくも崩れそうで
今行かなくちゃ 駆け抜けなくちゃ 心さえ軽やかに行けたら

どこかで僕を悪く言う声 耳を塞いでやりすごしてた
それでも聞こえる なんだ自分の声じゃないか

夢に重さはないんだけれど言い訳ばかりなすりつけて
やっかいなものを背負っている気になってる

鳴り止まぬ歓声を浴びる人は遠い世界さ どうせ
どうせ自分なんかって思う その度にギフトが

少しは自分にも期待してみたらどう?って
意外にうまく跳びだせるかも 想像よりもやれるかも
信じてみることが甘いかどうかなんてさ
自分の舌で舐めてみなけりゃ がっつり噛みつかなきゃ分かんない

月夜に浮かぶ街のシルエット 真っ黒な壁のようにそびえ
呑み込まれないうちにそっと人知れず 抜け出してみせる

威風堂々ぎゅっと胸にギフトを抱いたままで
箱の中身が飛び出す時を 今や遅しと待っている
明日に架かる橋はもろくも崩れそう
今行かなくちゃ 駆け抜けなくちゃ 心さえ軽やかに行けたら

Lyric added by: KATTUNKAMExROX

I hear people call the talent they were born with
A gift from god but mine’s a tiny box

With no ribbon and plain colors, I shyly hid
That shabby looking box behind me

How many times does a bird who’s flying for the first time
Race down the runway and try to kick off the ground?

I guess I always knew there would be no answer found
In talking to myself, I was intoxicated with my worried self
The bridge to tomorrow looks as if it will crumble any second
I must go now, I must run through, but my heart must be light

Somewhere, a voice talks bad about me, I went on and closed my ears
But I could still hear it, hey, that voice is my own

Things are weightless in dreams but excuses keep being piled upon me
It feels like I’m bearing a heavy burden on my shoulders

Those people being showered with praise and cheers are in a distant world
Whenever I think I could never be one of them, my gift says…

Why don’t you try expecting a little better from yourself?
I might fly higher than I think, I might do better than I imagine
I’m not sure if believing in myself is foolish but I don’t care
I must take a lick if I want a taste, I won’t know until I take a strong bite

The city’s a silhouette in the moonlit night, towering like a pitch black wall
But before I get sucked in I’ll find a way to secretly escape

I hold my gift to my chest in a dignified manner
I’ve been waiting all this time for the box’s contents to come flying out
The bridge to tomorrow looks as if it will crumble any second
I must go now, I must run through, but my heart must be light
