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.

Featured on their sixth album, “Waltz on Life Line,” it’s a rock tune you can easily imagine igniting the crowd live.
The hard-edged slap bass adds a vivid presence and flair that stands toe-to-toe with the guitars.
It’s a heavyweight yet nimble number that showcases the savory appeal of bass solos in rock music.
Shine in a commonplace waykessoku bando
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.
Cinderella Songsutoreitenaa
A song by Straightener, a four-piece rock band whose name comes from the meaning “one who straightens,” and whose alternative guitar-rock sound has been loved for many years.
It’s included on their third mini-album, Resplendent, and was used as the ending theme for the entertainment news program Kewn! Beyond its striking bassline, the concise yet impactful bass solo is sure to make bass enthusiasts want to replay it over and over.
It’s a refreshing yet emotional rock tune where you can enjoy catchy bass playing throughout the entire track.
long-distance relationshipRADWIMPS
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.
Endress RainX JAPAN
Taiji served as the bassist for X JAPAN until 1992, and although he remained active in various bands afterward, he sadly passed away in 2011.
He is a legendary player who invariably ranks near the top of lists of Japanese bassists, and his playing—at times aggressive, at times flamboyant, and at times delicate—continues to influence countless musicians with its original approach.
You can savor a performance that distills the “quiet” side of Taiji in the masterpiece Endress Rain.
Listen to Taiji’s melodious bass that gently accompanies Yoshiki’s characteristically beautiful piano intro.
Rather than dominating the foreground, the bass tone asserts a clear presence within the piano and guitar solos—an approach that just might change the way you think about the bass.
