Featured on the 25th-anniversary tribute album “Timeless Melodies – a tribute to dustbox -,” this track is an anthem that sings of setback and comeback, anxiety and hope.

Written as a thank-you to the fans and friends who have supported the band over the years, the song is crafted with a structure designed for massive sing-alongs at live shows.

Released in July 2024, it was also performed at the one-man event “KOSHIROCK GALAXY 2024” at Toyosu PIT in October of the same year.

When you’re feeling down or need the courage to move forward, listening to this song will surely help you rise again.

You’ll Never Be All Alonedustbox

You’ll Never Be All Alone

A track from the 2010 album “starbow.” With its driving, fast-paced beat and clear, shimmering melodies, you can fully enjoy dustbox’s signature, classic melodic hardcore sound.

The lyrics speak from the perspective of the sky, sending a message to someone struggling with worries or setbacks: “You are never alone.” Just as a rainbow needs rain, it’s precisely because there are hardships that hope shines brighter—a positive message that gives you a push forward.

It’s a song I want you to listen to when you’re feeling down or when you want to believe in your dreams once again!

A track included on their 3rd album, “13 Brilliant Leaves.” dustbox often uses the theme of the sun in their songs, and this is one of them.

It’s a classic melodic hardcore-style song with an uplifting message: “I will never give up, because there’s a sun in my heart that never sets.”

dustbox live – Resistance

It’s a very punk song with lyrics that cry out for freedom and liberation.

The line “The wind blows hard, but I’ll shout at the top of my lungs: let me do as I please” gives you the courage to overcome difficulties and adversity.

It’s a perfect track for anyone who wants to draw power from music.

Break Throughdustbox

dustbox 「Break Through」

This track kicks off with a distinctly metallic riff right from the intro.

The moment it hits the first verse, the sudden shift—colored by a soaring high-tone vocal—grabs you instantly.

The fiery lyrics, like a powerful push on your back, are another highlight.

It’s also a staple fan favorite at live shows.

A track from the 5th album “Blooming Harvest.” Right from the first hit in the intro, the striking E major seventh chord isn’t a common choice in the melodic hardcore genre, which really catches your ear.

While the chorus is classic two-beat melodic hardcore, the song also reveals a touch of power pop elements.

Not Overdustbox

Dustbox – Not Over

From the 4th full album, “Seeds of Rainbows.” It’s a short track of about two minutes.

While the chorus melody feels like it keeps ascending, the chords beneath it are, in a good way, not the standard fare of punk rock and are highly distinctive.

On the other hand, the fast two-beat paired with lyrics that could be said to embody hope is the very essence of a melodic core band, making this a quintessentially “dustbox-esque” song.
