[Classics] A roundup of songs you want to listen to while driving—music you can’t help but hum along to (71–80)

DOWN TO HELLSECRET 7 LINE

A track that explodes with the melodic hardcore–style two-beat right from the first verse.

It accelerates even more in the chorus, featuring an ear-catching melody line and a sing-along that you’ll find yourself joining in from the second round.

Last year, SHINJI, the bassist of SECRET 7 LINE, sadly passed away in a traffic accident.

Please everyone, take care and watch out for accidents.

If you want to enjoy a drive with a decidedly adult vibe, you can’t leave out jazz.

From that realm, here’s a track by SOIL & “PIMP” SESSIONS—hailed as “DEATH JAZZ” for its aggressive beats and rhythms and earthy, tribal atmosphere—that’s making waves worldwide.

It’s unquestionably perfect for driving.

Pop punk is perfect for any drive, no matter what you listen to! From among the bands active nationwide and especially in the Kansai area, I picked this one track by POP DISASTER.

The snare roll from the intro is really striking and instantly lifts your spirits.

Of course, it builds speed heading into the chorus—and the chorus is an absolute winner.

StreroStory of the Year

Thanks to its speed, SCREAM is perfect for driving.

Among their songs, SOTY—Story of the Year—definitely cranks the hype way up! It’s what you’d call a total “ten-age” (hype-up).

This track bursts with a feel-good guitar riff right from the intro.

The snare roll before the chorus seals the deal, and by the time the chorus hits, you’ll be flooring the gas with full throttle energy.

Superfly captivates many fans with her overwhelming vocal prowess and powerful voice.

This track is one of her more up-tempo and intense songs, which really brings out the strength of her vocals.

Let this song boost your energy and keep your long drive fun all the way to the end.

TRUTHT-SQUARE

This is a very famous song used as the theme for F1.

It’s an instrumental track with only musical instruments.

The guitar and soprano sax solos that come in partway through are really cool, aren’t they? For driving, instrumental tracks can actually be more relaxing, so I recommend them.
