Junior high school reggae artist AN-KUN's 11th single, "Gakuran," is a song about the doubts and contradictions people have in junior high school life...the vague feelings of adolescence.
The rhythm was produced by musician KICKERMAN HIROSHI, who has worked on many of AN-KUN's songs.
This is the full version of a song that was specially created for his appearance on NHK's "Numa ni Hamatte Kiite Mita."
AN-KUN [An-Kun] Born in Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture, in 2012, he is a second-year junior high school student. Reggae was a familiar presence from a young age, thanks to regular events held on his family's property. At age nine, he was asked, "Shall I try singing reggae?" and recorded his first single, "ONE DAY," two weeks later. He subsequently released the singles "Jiyuu" and "Let's Go Party" in collaboration with Jr. BONG on his father's label, NARUOTO RECORDS. His 2022 release, "Jerk Chicken Uncle," reached number one on the iTunes reggae chart, and his subsequent releases, "Reggae tte Nani YO!" and "Hanamizuki," also reached number one on the chart. In 2024, the NHK special program "Bob Marley and I" was broadcast as a documentary. He made a guest appearance on the NHK program "Minna no Shikoku Bunkasai" (Everyone's Shikoku Cultural Festival). In 2025, he appeared on NHK's (Educational TV) program "Numa ni Hamatte Kitemita." In addition to appearing on numerous terrestrial TV programs, this middle school boy also participates in live festival events around the country. Please keep an eye on his wide range of future activities!
