“As the lyrics in the song says, the song is about cheering your friend who has a dream, no matter how much the world makes fun of him or her or laughs at their struggling.” – Grantz

That song would be Rain of July by the Japanese rock group Grantz. As the band members say so well, chasing one’s dreams, whether its living life as “actors, novelists, dancers, comedians…” is something best done with the support of your friends. Begun in 2001, this five member band features a diverse rock sound with compelling tracks like Nothing’s Gonna Change My Way and re-classify.

So come take a listen to the musical world of the group who proclaim “We don’t really care in which genre we would be classified to… Good music is good, we always think that’s what really matters.”

On November 5, 2009 the members of Grantz were kind enough to give an interview to J-Pop World. Grantz Interview
