Messenger from Sunday↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓
When you’re riding a motorcycle, don’t you often find yourself going to places you normally wouldn’t, or enjoying the thrill of taking unfamiliar roads? Many riders have probably had that experience.
Doesn’t it feel almost like the bike itself is taking us somewhere? This song is perfect for a carefree touring ride, letting the tires lead you wherever they may, with no set destination.
Let this lovely, joy-filled track take you somewhere far away!
Easy★RiderOkuda Tamio
Eiji★Rider is the sixth single released in 1996 by Tamio Okuda—who had been active with the band Unicorn—as a solo artist.
Both the lyrics and the music video feel perfectly suited to riders.
It’s a song that lifts your touring spirits, the kind that makes you feel like you can see blue skies and white clouds when you close your eyes.
sparkleFuji Kaze
This is the eighth digital single by singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze, written specifically as the theme song for Honda’s “VEZEL” commercial.
It’s a breezy dance number featuring a four-on-the-floor beat and key changes, and it became a hit pop tune with over 100 million total streams.
The arrangement builds tension from the low-toned opening into the chorus, perfectly echoing the sensation of gradually picking up speed on a motorcycle.
The bike customized with a café-style vibe that appears in the music video is a CB400SS, and it’s said that Fujii actually obtained his motorcycle license before the song’s release.
Haneuma RiderPorunogurafiti
A perfect track by Porno Graffitti that gets crowds going live—and fits perfectly for riding a motorcycle.
It even has “Rider” in the title, and a bike appears in the music video, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a song for bikers.
Outside the chorus, it lets you cruise with a calm feeling, but when the chorus hits, it’s bursting with the kind of energy that makes you want to open the throttle.
The other two songs on this single also have “Rider” in the title, so why not take them along with “Haneuma Rider” as your companions on your next tour?
Wangan Midnight Touring ClubYamaguchi Tomomitsu
This song by Tomomitsu Yamaguchi, who is himself known as a motorcyclist, was included on his 2012 album Sunny with Occasional Clear Skies.
From the opening scene of starting a motorcycle engine, to the nighttime bypass, the natural scents you notice while riding, and the canned coffee you drink on a break—every depiction in the lyrics is something riders can relate to.
Yamaguchi’s straightforward, sincere vocals are refreshing, making it a perfect track for a night ride.
Perfect-Sense DreamerONE OK ROCK
If you’re looking to blow off steam by just tearing off on your motorcycle, ONE OK ROCK’s “Kanzen Kankaku Dreamer” is my top recommendation.
It’s not just the sense of speed—the sheer intensity of the track is packed with the kind of power that makes you want to rev up and rocket down the road.
Sometimes you just want to ride on and on, guided by your instincts alone! When you feel that way, this is the perfect track.
Just make sure you stay safe out there.
Driver’s HighL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
Given the title “Driver’s High,” it might be a song about driving a car rather than touring on a motorcycle—but it’s also perfect for a bike outing! Bursting with L’Arc-en-Ciel’s signature sense of speed and a rock sound, plus lyrics sprinkled with words that resonate with motorcycling, it’s guaranteed to get you pumped up.
Wouldn’t it be a great fit for a highway touring session? By the way, I’ve heard that hyde rides a fully customized Shovelhead.
