Master one song over summer vacation! Recommended practice songs to level up your bass (61–70)
Pink Spiderhide with Spread Beave
A legendary song that RIZE has also covered.
The tempo is a bit on the slower side, so even those with less experience should find it pretty easy to catch the notes and rhythm.
If you’re using it as a practice piece, it might be good to cover hide’s original first and then practice the RIZE version.
Crimson Lotusthe GazettE
the GazettE is a five-member visual kei rock band that ignites fans with a worldview built through self-production.
Their 12th single, Guren, which was featured as the commercial song for the silver accessory brand GemCEREY, moves the heart with lyrics steeped in sorrow and a richly layered rock ensemble.
Its simple arrangement and relaxed tempo may make it seem easy, but precisely because it’s slow, it’s easy for the rhythm to rush—so take care.
As a song that showcases the vocals, it’s a number where the bass needs to consciously support the track as part of the rhythm section.
Blue HabitatKitanitatsuya
“Aono Sumika,” which was released in the summer of 2023 and became a hit, is also recommended.
This song was written by Tatsuya Kitani as the opening theme for the anime Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory/ Premature Death.
Its theme is youth, so it might be perfect to work on with friends during summer vacation.
In the first half of the track, the bass doesn’t have many parts, but it really shines just before the chorus.
It’s a song that surges the moment the bass comes in, so I think you can deliver a performance that leaves a strong impression beyond your actual time in the spotlight.
Without Youyoru no honki dansu
This is a song by YoruDAN under their new lineup, and the bass phrase in the intro is really cool.
Since the phrase keeps going, once you get the flow, I think it’s an easy song to play.
If the rhythm section locks in tightly, the break right before the first A section will sound really cool.
Because the sun will rise againRyokushokushakai
Formed in the light music club upon entering high school, Ryokuoushoku Shakai is a four-piece rock band that has gained popularity for their refreshing vocals and pop sound.
This is their fifth single.
Written specifically as the theme song for the animated film Crayon Shin-chan: Mononoke Ninja Chinpuden, it was chosen from among songs the members composed after each reading the film’s script.
The bass line moves over a fairly wide range even while holding down chord tones, so practice is needed to land positions accurately.
It also features phrases that play in unison with the melody and piano, making it a piece that tests the bass’s presence.
Gimme GimmickRADWIMPS
Perfect for practicing slap and fingerstyle.
Because the phrases are technical, it’s best to start slowly at first.
This piece is all about locking tightly with the drums while keeping a solid sense of rhythm.
There are high-position phrases as well, so you can get a well-balanced overall practice session.
astronomical observationBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is a masterpiece that portrays hopes and goals on the grand scale of the cosmos.
Released in March 2001 as BUMP OF CHICKEN’s third major single and included on the album THE LIVING DEAD, it is also known as an insert song for the Fuji TV drama Celestial Observation (Tentai Kansoku).
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you need the courage to move forward or when you want to pause and reflect on yourself.
The driving sound powered by guitar and vocals will undoubtedly stir your heart, and the groove created by the bass and drums makes it an ideal piece to practice as well.
