Dedicated to all riders! Songs that match your bike & rider anthems for touring and travel (1–10)
up!!!!!!Sukima Suichi
This is the 12th digital single from the musical duo Sukima Switch, known for releasing many pop tunes that stay true to their down-to-earth sound, including songs like “Zenryoku Shōnen” and “Kanade.” The track was used as the CM song for the BOAT RACE Promotion Association’s “I Am a Boat Racer” series and was released on July 9, 2022, marking the 20th anniversary of their debut.
Its brisk arrangement featuring cutting-style guitar and strings is sure to heighten the feeling of wanting to slice through the wind on a motorcycle.
With a soft, urban melody that feels pleasant, it’s a pop tune that perfectly colors a long ride on a bike.
Maybe the wind.Sakanakushon
A five-piece rock band, Sakanaction, known for their extraordinary obsession with sound in both live shows and recordings, has created a truly one-of-a-kind band sound with their 12th single.
Chosen as the CM song for Shiseido’s “ANESSA,” this track is refreshing in that it explores a daytime theme—unusual for Sakanaction, who often draw on the motif of night.
Its driving off-beat rhythm and airy ensemble elevate the thrill of high-speed riding on a motorcycle.
It’s a pop tune recommended for those moments when you want to lose yourself in your own world as you cut through the wind.
DIVEB’z
A cool guitar sound is perfect for touring, isn’t it? “DIVE” by B’z, a nationally popular rock band, is a rock song distinguished by its fiery guitar sound.
A motorcycle appears at the beginning of the music video, making it an ideal touring song.
The melody line is excellent, too—definitely a track you’ll want to sing along to while you ride.

Born To Be WildSteppenwolf
It’s a song known as the theme of the classic film Easy Rider, which anyone who loves choppers or vintage Harleys has probably seen at least once.
If you’ve watched the movie, hearing this track will conjure images of tearing across the vast American landscape on a fully customized Harley.
It’s performed by the Canadian rock band Steppenwolf and was released in 1968.
It hardly feels like a song from the ’60s—it still sounds incredibly cool today, and it’s an essential track for any motorcycle rider.
How gasoline sloshesBLANKEY JET CITY
When you think of “motorcycles and rock ’n’ roll,” you just can’t leave out Blankey Jet City! Kenichi Asai on vocals and guitar and Tatsuya Nakamura on drums are both famous motorcycle lovers.
This track is one of their most popular, and as the title suggests, it’s perfect for touring.
The chorus is especially great— it really captures that feeling of “I want to hop on my bike for no reason at all!!” Highly recommended for anyone who loves bikes and feels the same way.
Dreamers HighRADWIMPS
RADWIMPS, who handled the theme songs for Makoto Shinkai’s films like Your Name and Weathering With You, have become an immensely popular act everyone knows.
This track also features a stylishly modern sound, making it perfect for cruising through the city, right? It’s a great vibe for touring, and the music video drew attention for vocalist Yojiro Noda riding an SR400! Riding behind him is actress Hirona Yamazaki.
She played a rider on an SR400 in the Amazon Original drama “I Tried Slowly Riding Across Japan: Traveling Around Japan for That Girl.” It’s a show that will make you want to set off on a motorcycle trip, so if you’re interested, be sure to check it out!
TRIPPIN’ LIFECaravan
I think everyone has their own reasons for riding a motorcycle, and some people ride to go on journeys.
A trip like touring all around Hokkaido is something every rider dreams of, right? Listening to this song makes you want to head out on a journey by bike! That said, it doesn’t have to be Hokkaido—somewhere close to home is fine.
It’s a perfect track for a relaxed touring ride where you enjoy places you’ve never been and scenery you’ve never seen.
