Dragon Ash’s classic and popular songs (41–50)
El AlmaDragon Ash
This song is reputed to encourage and give you a push when you feel anxious about the future, helping you press on by believing in your own future.
I LOVE HIP HOPDragon Ash
Released on the same day as “Grateful Days,” this is their sixth single.
It’s a song that could be called a “Hiphop Anthem,” expressing their feelings toward hip-hop.
In their early days, Dragon Ash’s tracks had a strong hip-hop flavor like this one.
Compared to their later phases with rock and Latin influences, some listeners might find it a strange sensation to hear now.
Which is the real Dragon Ash? The answer is: neither—and both.
Each side is a facet that makes up Dragon Ash’s appeal!
City of LightDragon Ash
Isn’t one of the charms of their songs the way the groove keeps shifting—from the intro’s arpeggios and vocals-only section, to the all-in part, the first verse, and then the chorus? It’s a track packed with everything to keep the audience entertained within a single song.
The overall vibe is refreshing yet loud.
thought and actionDragon Ash
It’s not a flashy, hyped-up song.
It’s pretty easy to listen to and I think it fits any situation.
And having all the lyrics in English is super cool, isn’t it? I also enjoy translating them into Japanese, so I like that.
I think it’s a song I can recommend to a wide range of people.
holidayDragon Ash
There’s a story that Kenji Furuya was given a day off for the first time in a while and wrote this song during that trip.
Just like the title suggests, it’s a track that makes you want to spend your day off like that.
Around this time, Dragon Ash’s approach to hip-hop advanced rapidly, and his voice became more gravelly.
ROCKET DIVEDragon Ash
Yusuke Yachi is a mixed martial artist who has achieved various accomplishments, including winning the Shooto Pacific Rim Lightweight Championship and the PXC Featherweight Championship.
He has competed in RIZIN since 2016 and uses Dragon Ash’s “ROCKET DIVE” as his entrance song.
The track is included on “hide TRIBUTE IMPULSE,” released 20 years after the passing of hide, who was also active as a member of X JAPAN.
While showing respect for the original, the arrangement is striking for fully conveying Dragon Ash’s distinctive vibe.
It’s a song that seems to express the spirit of diving into the unknown and taking on challenges.
It will elevate your mindset when facing the opponent in front of you.
Drugs can’t kill teensDragon Ash
Included on the album “Viva La Revolution.” It starts with a soft bass phrase, then suddenly surges into a high-speed punk tune that’s overwhelming.
It even has some metal-like elements, and it makes you want to headbang without thinking! The lyrics seem to encourage you not to give up on your dreams, even though life is tough.
This attitude feels exactly like Kj’s way of life.
The original song is NOFX’s “Bleeding Heart Disease.” It’s fun to compare the two versions.
