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!

Mix It UpDragon Ash

True to their claim of being a mixture rock band, this track stands out with its intense instrumentals and KJ’s rap.

Having led Japan’s mixture scene, their songwriting is, in a word, superb.

You can easily imagine the whole venue coming together and getting hyped at their live shows.

Released in 2003, their 12th single.

The fresh chords at the beginning of the song evoke a sense of expansion, as if a bird were taking flight.

Kj once said in a magazine interview, “If I could take just one of our songs with me into my next life, it would be this one.” In fact, before this track was released, it was a difficult time for both Kj and the band, including receiving a diss from Zeebra in “Public Execution.” Even so, it carries the meaning of stepping forward once more into the light of hope—a song to which they are deeply attached.

Don’t you think it’s an insanely good song? This track is a secret song on the album.

Since it’s a hidden track, it has that thrilling feeling too.

I see it as a gentle-sounding song with a meaningful message.

When I listen to it, it makes me think, “You’re so unfair—I want to stay with the person I love from here on out.”

community of shared destinyDragon Ash

This song features a charming music video, using a puppet show to depict the journey of seven sailors.

The band likens themselves to a ship, telling of the beauty of sharing the same dream and the importance of camaraderie, all set to a gentle Latin rhythm.

In the latter half of the lyrics, there’s even a line describing the fans listening to the song as a “community bound by fate.” For Dragon Ash, showtime is something created together with the audience.

Hearing that makes you want to go see them live again, doesn’t it?

I think this is a song I can recommend to people who aren’t into the typical high-energy band tracks.

Personally, I love the gentle piano melody in the intro, and that part alone instantly made me fall in love with the song (lol).

Overall, it’s easy to listen to, so it’s a track I’d like first-time listeners to try.
