Marunouchi SadisticShiina Ringo
Ringo Sheena, who also fronts Tokyo Jihen and is celebrated for songs shaped by her one-of-a-kind worldview, is a popular singer-songwriter.
Despite never being released as a single, Marunouchi Sadistic—featured on her debut album, Muzai Moratorium—is known as one of her signature tracks.
The bass solo, which holds its own against the piano-centered, glamorous ensemble, has a distinctive depth and presence unique to the low register.
It’s a stylish number that highlights the compatibility between jazzy arrangements and a hard-edged bass sound.
Start Our JourneyHAGANE
HAGANE, a skilled heavy metal band that has gained popularity by performing at overseas festivals, released “Start Our Journey” in 2024.
The track captivates with its exhilarating, high-speed metal feel.
Because the song emphasizes speed throughout, the bass locks in a low-end pulse that adds power to that momentum.
Its lines aren’t overly complex, which gives the performance stability and firmly supports the vocals and guitar melodies.
The arrangement is also superb: a bass solo appears after the technical guitar solo, followed by another overlapping guitar solo.

NEK!’s “rip-off,” set for release in 2025, is an impressive track marked by a sense of speed that conveys palpable tension.
Throughout the song, the sound feels intense, with the guitar and bass standing out in particular for their aggressiveness.
From the very beginning, the slap bass strikes hard, setting the rhythm while firmly expressing the song’s lyrical hostility.
Since slap bass drives the track, its lightness and sharpness come across clearly in the performance.

Yellow ToyAooo
Formed by four talented young musicians with diverse careers, Aooo released “Yellow Toy” in 2024—a track distinguished by its skillful musicianship and aggressive sense of speed.
Yamamoto Hikaru’s bass delivers a technical performance throughout, weaving in slap techniques within moving, shifting phrases.
Despite the technical playing, the vocals and guitar remain at the forefront, with the bass serving to underpin the song—another key point.
It’s a piece that shines for its sense of balance: supporting the track while, at times, asserting itself with technical flourishes like slap.
Monkey DanceRyokushokushakai
Ryokuoushoku Shakai’s “Monkey Dance,” released in 2025 and included on the album “Channel U,” is a track distinguished by its light, buoyant groove.
The bass features mainly slap technique, with a bouncy slap line ringing out from the intro.
The rest of the arrangement also emphasizes crisp articulation, so it’s recommended to listen closely to how this rhythm layers with the vocals.
Savor the sense of fun through the slap bass phrases that highlight the dance element referenced in the title.
SUPER SUNSHINEBAND-MAID
SUPER SUNSHINE by BAND-MAID—the one-of-a-kind band that delivers fierce heavy metal to hard rock while fully embracing a maid aesthetic and enjoys high popularity overseas—is set for release in 2025.
Included on the mini-album SCOOOOOP, the track stands out for its aggressive yet danceable rhythm.
In the intro and chorus, the four-on-the-floor beat is particularly prominent, with the bass laying down light, nimble phrases that accentuate this pulse.
Rather than focusing on flashy technical runs, the playing seems more intent on firmly articulating each note; listen closely to how the notes sustain and how they blend with the other parts.
The solo features crisp, sprightly tones that build anticipation for how the final chorus will unfold.
pineapple!Chilli Beans.
The hugely popular trio Chilli Beans.’s “pineapple!” is a lively, refreshing summer-feel track included on their fourth EP, “the outside wind.” The bass resonates in call-and-response with the guitar’s cutting, creating an overall sense of groove.
While the bass line is structured to steadily mark the notes at a relaxed pace, it delivers light, crisp tones at the ends of measures and during the solo section.
This contrast between laid-back warmth and sharp precision is the bass’s key charm in this song.
