#10. Walk the Moon - Mono No Aware
Title: Mono No Aware
Artist: Walk the Moon
Album: The Liftaway
It's been 10 years since Walk the Moon exploded onto the mainstream scene in 2014 with "Shut Up And Dance" (#12 on J1 that year), and they announced that they will be going on hiatus with their album The Liftaway. This marks the 3rd time they've landed on the Countdown, previously scaling all the way to #3 with "Anna Sun" in 2012. "Mono No Aware" is a real toe-tapper that doesn't feel as formulaic and forced as everything they've released on their last 2 records. Simply put, it's a fun song that's easy to sing along to and even easier to enjoy. Lyrically the song is their way of saying "so long" to their fans after a fun run.
Favorite line: "Ooh I'll follow my gut and I won't be silent, sing Mono No Aware..."
