Bon VoyageONE OK ROCK
ONE OK ROCK enjoys tremendous popularity even overseas.
This song has a classic straight-ahead, up-and-down rhythm that really gets the crowd going, and at live shows there are moments when the entire venue jumps in unison.
It’s a mid-tempo track you can also enjoy by headbanging, so feel free to get into it in your own way.
Bonus TrackONE OK ROCK
In ONE OK ROCK’s albums, the final track often contains many hidden segments.
After a few minutes of silence, each member sings, shouts, or talks about things they like.
The contrast with their usual pursuit of pure rock is striking, making it an irresistible track for fans.

Boy BoyOXZ
When it comes to three-piece girl bands, Shonen Knife often comes to mind, but there was another trio active around the same time.
Formed in 1981, OXZ was a post-punk band based in Osaka and Kyoto.
In stark contrast to Shonen Knife, they were defined by an underground sensibility and a downer worldview.
It’s true that their primitive playing could be technically rough, but their dark sound—akin to the positive-punk of the era—and lyrics steeped in a unique poetic mood are genuinely compelling and cool.
I especially want Western music fans to know that a girl band like them existed in the 1980s.
In February 2020, the venerable US indie label Captured Tracks released Along Ago: 1981–1989, compiling eight years of their work!
Boys be AmbitiousOttottrio
Ottottrio is a special project that brought together three Japanese fusion guitarists the country proudly presents to the world.
In 1988, virtuoso guitarists Issei Noro, Masahiro Andoh, and Hirokuni Korekata joined forces, shaking the music scene with a barrage of dazzling technique and meticulously crafted ensemble work.
Their overwhelming performances on the live albums “Super Guitar Session: Hot Live” and “Super Guitar Session: Red Live” continue to captivate fusion fans.
In 1998, they released the studio album “Triptych,” breaking new ground with more refined compositions and arrangements.
Each member boasts an illustrious career with groups like Casiopea and T-Square, attesting to their proven ability.
Blending jazz and rock, their music is recommended not only for listeners who enjoy technical playing but also for anyone who gets excited by energetic sounds.
VOICEPerfume
Although this track was produced by Yasutaka Nakata, it was created through an exchange of ideas between Perfume and Nakata for the first time.
Another distinctive feature—unusual for a Perfume song—is that there are no solo parts at all; the entire piece is arranged in unison and incorporates an Asian-inspired flavor.
Both Sides Of The StoryPhil Collins
A track that sings about a homeless man looking for work and a couple on the brink of divorce.
It was released in 1993 by the British singer-songwriter Phil Collins.
The music video was filmed in New York.
Bon, BonPitbull
It’s a track by Pitbull that’s become a staple at clubs and parties as a super lively party tune, with an exceptionally singable chorus.
Its danceable vibe also makes it perfect for livening up a hanami gathering and having a great time together.
