Music Corner Week 123: My Hair Is Bad
/My Hair Is Bad is a three-member rock band that was founded in Joetsu City, which is in the Niigata Prefecture. The group consists of Tomohito Shiiki who does vocals and guitar, Cho Daiki Yamamoto, also known as Baya, does the base, and Jun Yamada is the drummer. All the members of the group attended the same high school, and it was Shiiki who invited the other two to form the band. The name of the band comes from when the group was founded. Yamamoto stated, “My Hair is Bad!” and the name took, so that is what they have gone by ever since. In February 2013 the group debuted with their mini-album “Kinō Ni Naritakute”, and in May 2016 had their major debut with the release of their single, “Jidai o Atsumete”. Since then, they have gone on to release two singles, four albums, and two digital singles with their latest release being “Hitomini Mezemete”, which was released in October of 2022.
My Hair Is Bad has a lot of energy that shines through in their music. Their latest release, “Hitomini Mezemete” has a really nice build-up to the chorus. What draws my attention to this track is that, while it’s definitely a high-energy track, a sense of longing comes through the melody and vocal work. Shiiki does an excellent job working within his strengths in this track. On their latest album there is a track, “Mikata,” where they slow it down and a different side of the group comes through. There is a gentleness that is really felt throughout the song. “Mikata” has become one of my favorites on their angels album. My Hair Is Bad has tracks like “Lil Fin Lil Fin” that have a bit more of a grunge feel to them. I can see not everyone liking this, but it shows how they mix things a bit and try new things.
My Hair Is Bad has a very active Twitter where you can stay up to date on all the latest news along with their official website. Lastly, be sure to check out their song “Hitomini Mezemete” in the video below.
