Dedicated to all riders! Songs that match your bike & rider anthems for touring and travel (31–40)
Country RoadHon’na Yoko
It’s the song used as the theme for the Studio Ghibli film “Whisper of the Heart,” which originally became a hit sung by American singer-songwriter John Denver.
Unlike the original, the clear, translucent voice really stands out.
Taking a ride while looking at crisp, clear mountain scenery would definitely lift your spirits.
SiriusBUMP OF CHICKEN
It’s a song released in September 2018 and was used as the theme song for the TV anime Last Hope (Juushinki Pandora).
Its upbeat tempo makes it perfect for blasting down the highway on a motorcycle.
Even if you’re stressed out, riding while listening to this track will surely leave you feeling refreshed.
Neo Chavez 400dustbox
A track by dustbox, a band indispensable to Japan’s melodic hardcore and punk rock scene.
It’s a live staple—high-energy and guaranteed to get you pumped! While many of their songs take a bright, catchy pop-punk approach, this one stands out with a notably metallic riff in the intro.
Once the chorus hits, it shifts back to their signature catchy vibe.
By the way, this song was apparently written by JOJI, the bassist and vocalist, after his own motorcycle was stolen.
The lyrics channel the anger from that incident.
Make sure you keep your bike safe, too…!
Summer TriangleNICO Touches the Walls
If you’re looking for the perfect song for a summer touring ride, I recommend “Natsu no Daisankakkei” by NICO Touches the Walls.
Summer songs often have a lively, high-energy vibe, but this track is captivating for its nostalgic feel.
It matches the uniquely nostalgic imagery of summer and seems perfect for rides along the seaside or through mountain passes.
no.13ELLEGARDEN
ELLEGARDEN, the band that made a comeback in 2018.
This song of theirs is about waiting for someone precious, full of inner conflict, but the imagery of a clear autumn day in the lyrics and their sense of speed make it a perfect track for touring.

The World feat. Moto from Chilli Beans. & Who-ya ExtendedKERENMI
A new release from producer Kōichi Tsutaya’s project KERENMI, unveiled in May 2024.
It has also gained attention as the song featured in Honda’s VEZEL commercial.
The track is striking for its themes of life’s transience, hope, and solidarity, highlighted by Moto’s soulful vocals and Who-ya Extended’s edgy performance.
Its modern sound and delicate melodies are pleasing to the ear and are sure to resonate with listeners.
The lyrics convey a powerful desire to transcend the meaninglessness of everyday life and an optimistic outlook toward the future, offering a sense of empowerment.
It’s a hot, emotional song that stirs the courage to face life—perfect for keeping you company on a long drive.
RIDE TOUGH!THE BAWDIES
THE BAWDIES are a rock band known for their authentic rock sound, earning high praise from critics.
With Beatles-like looks and a loud musical style as their weapons, they’ve garnered strong acclaim from hardcore rock fans.
