Masterpieces and popular songs by Dragon Ash

Dragon Ash is centered around vocalist Kj (Kenji Furuya) and consists of highly skilled musicians and dancers.

Formed in 1996, they are a mixture rock band that began their activities that year.

At the time, the concept of “mixture,” which crosses over different genres in the Japanese music scene, wasn’t as widespread as it is now.

In Japan, the pioneers of that field were Dragon Ash.

Staying true to their image, they’ve continued to evolve as a rock band ever since their debut.

This time, we’ll be taking a closer look at them!

We researched their past hits and classic tracks and handpicked a selection.

There are plenty to explore, so take your time and enjoy!

Dragon Ash’s classic and popular songs (81–90)

SnowscapeDragon Ash

I think it’s a perfect song for winter.

If you translate the title into Japanese, it’s “Snowy Scenery.” It’s a powerful track that makes you feel strength welling up from deep inside, urging you to keep moving forward—kick through and push ahead! I highly recommend it to anyone who likes high-energy songs.

Velvet TouchDragon Ash

Dragon Ash frequently collaborates with soccer.

This song was used as the theme for TBS’s coverage of EURO 2008.

The title “Velvet Touch” refers to skillful, dazzling ball control in soccer.

Even the guitar in the intro feels soft and pleasant, like velvet.

The lyrics encourage players, conveying the idea that if flowers haven’t bloomed yet, it’s fine to keep extending your roots downward—one day, bigger flowers will bloom, and that thought gives you courage.

The single was released in June 2008.

Around this time, their songs increasingly took on a strong Latin flavor.

This is Dragon Ash’s fifth single, released in 1999—a collaboration featuring the stellar lineup of Zeebra and ACO that drew big expectations from hip-hop fans.

With its sweet, distinctive melody and irresistibly catchy lyrics that make you want to sing along, it’s incredibly easy to listen to.

The track samples the guitar phrase from The Smashing Pumpkins’ “Today.” Am I the only one who wants to play this on a summer evening? To me, it’s the perfect song—bittersweet, sing-along-ready, just right for a sunset BBQ or the drive home at dusk.

Baby Girl Was BornDragon Ash

Around this time, the number of tracks shifted from rock to a more hip-hop style, and “Baby Girl Was Born” is one of the representative songs of that shift.

The title might suggest a love song, but the content is far from it—it’s a track that straightforwardly expresses a positive, forward-looking mindset.
