Do the GARIYA thingRappa Gariya

Rappa Gariya is one of Japan’s leading hip-hop groups.

If you came of age in the 1990s, you probably know them.

They were rappers who were active in the overground scene, which was a very small minority in the hip-hop world at the time.

Rappers who went overground tended to be looked down upon, but Rappa Gariya maintained a strong following even in the underground.

Their classic track “Do the GARIYA thing” is an old-school song with an energetic vibe.

Formed in 2007, Reaction the Butta is a rock trio highly praised for both their musicality and live performances.

In 2009, they won the top prize at TEENS ROCK IN HITACHINAKA and went on to perform at ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL, marking a striking start to their career.

The bass lines crafted by Naoto Sasaki, the vocalist and bassist, support the songs rhythmically and melodically while blending seamlessly with his powerful singing.

In 2014, they won RO69 JACK and have since appeared at numerous festivals.

In 2018, one of their music videos was nominated at one of Asia’s largest international short film festivals, drawing attention beyond the music scene as well.

With a powerful bass-vocal lead and sophisticated songwriting, they’re a recommended band for rock fans seeking intense live performances.

The song “After the Drama – retake” depicts a heartrending farewell.

It expresses exquisitely delicate emotions—like the loneliness of days spent alone after a breakup and lingering attachment to a former lover—that ache in the chest.

Even the everyday scene of buying a 399-yen bento conveys the sense of loss that comes with lost love.

Included on the best-of album “REACTION THE BEST,” it’s a rearranged version of a 2017 release.

Widely talked about on TBS Drama Stream and TikTok, this track offers comfort to those whose hearts have been wounded by love.

This song features a driving yet weighty guitar phrase, with the distant resonance of a koto leaving a strong impression.

It’s a track by Hifumi, a Vocaloid producer known for Japanese-style rock, released in 2020.

The lyrics feel like a direct outpouring of swirling inner emotions, piercing the heart.

Listeners—especially younger generations—will likely relate.

Structurally, it’s a classic guitar rock tune, making it very easy to remember.

Sing it with everything you’ve got, as if laying your heart bare.

The timeless appeal of enka and kayōkyoku that’s been passed down through generations remains unchanged even in the Reiwa era.

“Donkozaka,” by Hiroshi Miyama—one of the leading enka singers since the late 2000s—was released in 2023 and stands as a new enka masterpiece born in Reiwa.

Miyama’s signature “vitamin voice” gently stays close to the listener’s heart, moving you to tears with a hymn to life that seems to watch over the journey of a married couple or lovers.

With a wide vocal range and considerable leaps up and down in pitch, it naturally demands strong singing ability.

That said, as a classic, straight-ahead enka number, those familiar with the genre shouldn’t find it too difficult.

Since the overall pitch sits on the lower side, if it feels too low for you, consider adjusting the key.

Dororon Enma-kunNakayama Chinatsu

A song that vividly depicts the mysterious world of yokai was released in 1973 as the opening theme for a TV anime.

With lyrics by Chinatsu Nakayama and music by Asei Kobayashi, the melody wonderfully captures the strange yet humorous nature of these spirits.

The piece playfully recounts the mischief of yokai emerging from the underworld with a bright, light rhythm, offering a friendly charm that appeals to both children and adults.

Its lyrics, imbued with affection for Japan’s traditional yokai culture, harmonize beautifully with a catchy melody.

It’s a recommended track for anyone who wants to spend a fun time with yokai or enjoy a nostalgic Showa-era anime song.
