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.
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.
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.
rip-offNEK

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.
