Mythology Five Minutes After the WorldYūkei Ranpeiji
Formed in 2011 by songwriter, DJ, and Vocaloid producer sasakure.UK, Uchigata Rampage is a rock band founded under his own direction.
Their concept is to perform Vocaloid tracks—typically considered difficult for live bands—entirely by human players, which means their music is highly technical, packed with odd meters, and challenging even for skilled musicians.
The track introduced here, “Sekai Gobungo Shinwa” (World Five Minutes Later Myth), is no exception: it features complex song structures that demand advanced technique from every instrument.
Focusing on the bass, you’ll notice an active, constantly moving line throughout the piece, along with a technical slap-based solo.
It’s a performance that showcases the possibilities of the bass—definitely worth a listen.

A four-piece rock band, RADWIMPS, whose songs—born from their high musicality that elevates complexity into pop sensibility—have been drawing attention.
This track, included on their major-label second album “RADWIMPS 4: Okazu no Gohan,” features an arrangement where the time signature changes between the A and B sections and the chorus, yet the seamless ensemble makes it feel effortless and serves as a hook.
The slap-bass solo trading lines with a hysteric guitar conveys a level of conviction that’s only possible when the whole band’s performance is top-notch.
It’s a high-quality rock tune that further amplifies the presence of an arrangement-oriented bass—not just the bass on its own.

Kessoku Band, which jumped out of the anime Bocchi the Rock! based on a popular manga, has become a huge hit, captivating both anime fans and rock lovers.
The lyrics are packed to the brim with the youth of teenage girls, and the songs blend plenty of 2000s Japanese alternative rock elements while distilling them into a distinctly 2020s sound, delivering a listening experience that goes far beyond the confines of an in-anime band.
This track, “”, was used as the opening theme for the 2024 theatrical compilation film Bocchi the Rock! Re:, and it’s also included on the mini-album Re:Kessoku Band released in August 2024.
The bass, recorded by Yuichi Takama, is notable for its aggressive, distorted tone, with wild lines that stand out throughout the track.
Midway through the song, a bass-solo-esque phrase appears alongside the guitar solo, showcasing a surging performance that makes striking use of glissando.
CageDIR EN GREY
It’s no exaggeration to say that Dir en grey led the visual kei rock band boom.
Their fourth single, released in 1999, was “Cage.” It’s a hard rock number that shifts dramatically from a music box timbre into an intense band sound right from the start.
The bass solo appears in the interlude after the second verse, featuring a crisp, punchy tone produced by pick playing.
Ending with harmonics suits the atmosphere of the song perfectly.
Sand TowerTHE YELLOW MONKEY
This is the 25th single by the four-piece rock band THE YELLOW MONKEY, known for their glamorous sound reminiscent of glam rock and for their energetic activity since reuniting in 2016.
Written as the theme song for the TV drama “Suna no Tou: Shirisugita Rinjin” (Tower of Sand: The Neighbor Who Knew Too Much), the track carries a sense of melancholy in its mysterious, minor-key melody.
The bouncy, 16-beat–inflected bass solo is simple yet heightens anticipation for the guitar solo that follows.
It’s a cool piece that reminds us a solo doesn’t have to be flashy to be effective.
