The theme of SHUTTER SPEEDSGLAY
GLAY’s JIRO is definitely one of the popular players who changed the image of bassists in the 1990s.
He was hugely popular as a fashion icon at the time, and as a bassist he’s the type who can handle a wide range of rhythms without being confined to rock.
But in this hit song “SHUTTER SPEEDS no Theme,” where JIRO also takes the lead vocals, his punkish side really shines through! The aggressive bass with a heavily distorted tone right from the intro is insanely cool, and I bet plenty of kids tried their best to copy the free-roaming bass solo in the middle.
It’s no exaggeration to say this is a track where the bass takes center stage, so if you love bass tones, this is a must-check!

A slap-bass solo that grabs you from the intro! “A Farewell Kiss,” a track by Kyoto-based rock band Lala, was released in 2023.

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.
VIPMrs. GREEN APPLE
VIP is characterized by its catchy, upbeat sound and a striking contrast with its hard-hitting, aggressive lyrics.
It’s a track by the pop-rock band Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, included on their 2015 mini-album Variety.
The harsh lyrics come across like a message asking, “Are you really okay with things as they are?”—which naturally makes you reflect on your own life.
The bass solo has a restrained tone, giving the impression of building tension toward the final chorus.
It’s a behind-the-scenes powerhouse kind of playing.
Master VolumeUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
This is UNISON SQUARE GARDEN’s second single, which was used as the opening theme for the music program “JAPAN COUNTDOWN.” It’s a fast-paced rock tune featuring a remarkably full sound that belies its simple band setup, and standout arrangements where each part shines precisely because of that simplicity.
The bass solo, while using relatively few notes, creates a strong groove and adds a catchy spice that enhances the song’s refreshing feel.
It’s a modern rock number with a quality melody that invites you to pay special attention to the bass as you listen.
