While boldly incorporating strings, this song is crafted with a driving, rock-infused vibe and was released as a single in 2003.
In the intro, a lead phrase by HISASHI rides over a refreshing accompaniment that conveys a sense of spaciousness.
The exhilarating phrase meshes perfectly with the backing track and becomes addictive after just one listen! Near the end of the intro, only the bass and hi-hat keep time to bridge into the first verse, heightening the anticipation with a sense that “This is where it begins!!”

Formed in 2010, SHISHAMO has continued to sing about the real emotions of young people.
Their new song “Saikou Sokudo” (“Top Speed”) captured the hearts of many as the theme for the 2024 Boat Race commercial.
The intro makes a striking impression with a hard-edged guitar sound that overturns their previous image.
Just one listen fills you with a sense of speed that makes you want to take off running.
Paired with a distorted bass, it’s a moment that grabs you instantly.
The lyrics are a positive message about believing in yourself and pushing forward, powerfully declaring that stopping isn’t an option.

The effects are cranked and it sounds awesome.
Then the fiery drums and electric guitar kick in.
What an insanely cool intro.
The vocals are passionate, with a sultry charm—such a great voice.
This is some seriously hot rock music: Stratocaster Seaside.
Don’t miss Suspended 4th’s fiery, hard-hitting performance—give it a listen!
Frenzy Hey Kids!!THE ORAL CIGARETTES
An opening that you can’t forget once you’ve heard it.
The way vocalist Takuya Yamanaka sings, highlighting his allure, is seriously cool.
The tight, seemingly synchronized playing by the rhythm section is another key point.
Since it’s the opening theme for the TV anime Noragami ARAGOTO, some people might already be familiar with it.
Released in November 2015 as their fourth single, it features a compelling, heavy melody that fuses a dark worldview with a hard-edged sound.
You’ll be irresistibly drawn in by the eerie intro, sketched out by free-flowing guitar riffs!

Sparkle opens with refreshingly bright guitar tones, trumpet, and drums—a breezy number that feels like summer.
It’s one of Tatsuro Yamashita’s hit songs.
Yamashita’s distinctive voice is always fresh and wonderful.
Listening to Sparkle brings back memories of a bittersweet past love.
Both the melody and the backing music are stylish, and the rhythm is excellent.
It’s a lovely track that makes you want to drive along the coastline.
BAD FEELINGBOØWY
BOØWY’s hit number “BAD FEELING,” released in 1985, starts with a solo by guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei.
As expected from a world-class Hotei—his playing is insanely good.
He’s as cool now as he was back then.
Kyosuke Himuro’s husky, sultry voice is wonderful, too.
The sound is stylish and cool—you’d never think it came out over 20 years ago.
As expected of BOØWY, they’re a quintessentially cool band representing the 1980s.
