[Low End] A Collection of Japanese Songs Featuring Shining Bass Solos [2026] (1–10)
STRAIGHT FLUSHShingāzuhai
Formed in 2020, Singers High is a four-piece rock band from Gen Z that’s been drawing attention.
Their solid band ensemble is a major appeal, and “STRAIGHT FLUSH,” which opens their mini-album Serotonin released in July 2024, is a new classic marked by a raw yet sultry melody and a standout guitar solo that makes full use of high-speed cutting and tapping.
Among all that, pay special attention to the bass solo that appears in the latter half.
It’s a crucial phrase that leads into the unison with the guitar at the end, and though simple, it’s seriously cool.
galaxyBREIMEN
BREIMEN’s “Ginga” is set for release in 2025, a track distinguished by its keyboard-centered, uniquely floating tones.
Every instrument plays with both softness and sharp precision, creating a mysterious sonic world.
The bass lines by vocalist Shota Takagi are intricately mobile phrases; precisely because their sound overlaps with the other instruments, they blend seamlessly into the track’s atmosphere.
While underpinning the song in the low end, the bass’s tight phrasing also serves as a crucial element shaping the world of the piece.
In the latter half, there’s a sinuous bass solo that intertwines with the guitar solo—an absolute must-hear for any bassist!
Eggs, milk, and recordsSebunsu Bega
The four-woman group Seventh Vega, currently drawing attention among early-eared music fans, will release Tamago to Gyūnyū to Record in 2025—a track marked by an urban sound design and a soft groove.
The bass lines, occasionally incorporating slap, overlap with the guitar’s cutting to firmly shape the song’s sense of rhythm.
There are parts that solidly support the low end and rhythm, which here serves to highlight the lightness of the vocals and guitar.
Precisely because the song has a gentle atmosphere, you can feel how the low end firmly supports the whole piece.
I can’t forget it.Sakanakushon
Sakanaction’s 13th single, whose obsession with sound is so intense that even professional musicians call it “perverse,” creates a one-of-a-kind sonic world.
Written as the sixth installment of SoftBank’s “SoftBank Music Project” series, the track blends an urban atmosphere reminiscent of 1980s city pop with a modern, crystal-clear sound that feels great.
The bass solo—combining melodic phrases on the high frets with slap in the lower register—is arranged to meld naturally into the song.
It’s a number where you can enjoy a flowing bass solo, offering a contrast to the flashy style of hard rock or metal.
MethodKroi
Kroi’s “Method,” with its strikingly stylish sense of speed and a light, agile bass line that accentuates it, was released in 2025 and also drew attention as the opening theme for the anime SAKAMOTO DAYS.
The notes bustle within the chord progressions, and by overlapping with the vocals and keyboard timbres, they create a feeling of lightness.
The bass solo resonates gently, once again clearly highlighting the mood of the track.
KICKBACKYonezu Kenshi
When it comes to this track, it’s no exaggeration to say the bass takes center stage—the bass tone drives the entire groove! Kenshi Yonezu’s mega-hit “KICK BACK” was co-produced by Daiki Tsuneta, the central figure of King Gnu and millennium parade, who also played guitar and bass.
He unleashes a series of unapologetically aggressive phrases that perfectly suit the track’s attack, and it’s seriously cool.
The distinctive slap in the intro is so crucial that it practically defines the song’s character, so if you’re a bassist, you should approach it with the same mindset as a guitar solo.
There’s also a brief but memorable section in the middle that combines slap with a more melodic line—definitely give it a close listen.
The refuse-strewn room sinks into a rust-colored gloom.Kitanitatsuya
With its piercing, razor-sharp sonic image, “Akuta no Heya wa Sabiiro ni Shizumu” is a track by Tatsuya Kitani, released in 2016.
It’s an addictive rock tune that makes you want to clap along from the very first beat.
The song’s style pairs perfectly with the brooding, pent-up mood of the lyrics.
The bass solo comes right after the second chorus, just as it transitions into the interlude—delivering a powerful slapped line left gloriously distorted.
It’s an aggressive performance that always sends the crowd into a frenzy live.
