Dark Side feat. KanZone The Darkness
Rapper ZORN is known for his strikingly realistic life stories and intricately layered rhymes, and he’s now thriving in the mainstream scene.
He previously performed under the name ZONE THE DARKNESS, and back then he released some hard-hitting tracks that differ from his current style.
One work I especially recommend is “Dark Side feat.
Kan.” The rapid-fire rhymes from the very beginning are absolutely incredible, so be sure to check it out.
Laboratory 1 (Album)cali≠gari
cali≠gari (Caligari) is a band formed in 1993.
Their name comes from the classic masterpiece film The Cabinet of Dr.
Caligari.
Their fans are called “Caligarists,” or simply “Garists.” In 1994, they released their debut mini-album, The 1st Laboratory.
The video features LOVE FOR YOU, a track from the album—a fast-paced piece.
Dark Magicshade
A captivating track that fuses a fantastical atmosphere with a dark tone.
Released in September 2024, this work deftly weaves in elements of electronica and dark pop.
Shade’s signature mystical soundscapes invite listeners into another world.
The lyrics blur the line between fantasy and reality, revealing themes like inner conflict and a sense of alienation from society.
Best enjoyed alone in the stillness of the night—you’re sure to discover new insights and be moved.
Dance My GenerationGōruden Bonbā
A song released in 2012 made waves again in 2018.
Why, you ask? Well, that’s right—because the “bubble dance” had a revival in 2017.
Among some fans, there’s even murmuring like, “Aren’t their senses more than five years ahead of the curve?” That said, plenty of people have released songs with bubble-era themes before.
What’s truly impressive is getting it to catch on.
Thinking about it that way, you can see just how influential the Tomioka High School Dance Club was.
WxHxUx ~I wanna be successful too, for real!~Makishimamu Za Horumon
This song was included on Maximum the Hormone’s first mini-album “Hou,” and a re-recorded version later appeared on their major-label debut single “Rock Bankuruwase.” The “WHU” at the beginning is an abbreviation of the (sub)title “Washikate Honma wa Uretainjai” (“I really do wanna make it,” lol).
Some people sing Hormone at karaoke, but it’s tough, right? This track is difficult overall too—packed full of that signature Hormone style.
Take care.Mitsubishi Michiya
A single by Michiya Mihashi released in 1960.
He also performed it at that year’s Red and White Song Battle.
It was a huge hit, selling 2.2 million copies.
Since the lyrics wish for the health of family living apart, wouldn’t it be perfect for an 88th-birthday celebration?
An empty restaurantHisaishi Joe
This is also a Japanese-style arrangement that begins with taiko drums, reminiscent of Spirited Away.
It was used in the scene set in the food stall district where Chihiro and the others stray into the world of the gods.
The somewhat unsettling tone perfectly mirrors Chihiro’s feelings.
As the piece progresses, it enhances the striking visuals, as if the scenes of the food stall district flash back, making for a wonderful arrangement.
