Beginner-friendly band score roundup: Introducing easy songs (31–40)
SolaninASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
The 14th single by the four-piece rock band ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, used as the main theme for the film Solanin.
Despite being the only song among their works with lyrics written by someone outside the band, it’s known for its strong popularity among fans.
The guitar parts focus on arpeggios and chord strumming, and the bass mainly sticks to root notes, making them simple; however, the drums require attention as they feature detailed beats with rimshots early on.
Because the tempo is fast, it’s recommended to practice slowly at first, but since there are few difficult phrases, it’s a perfect rock tune for beginner bands.
I should be able to fly (in the sky).supittsu
A four-piece rock band, Spitz’s eighth single overall, which became a big hit as the theme song for the TV drama “Haksen Nagashi” (White Line).
Thanks to the drama’s image, it’s also very popular as a graduation song, and as a million seller it’s known as one of Spitz’s signature tracks.
With its relaxed tempo and simple chord progression, it’s perfect as a practice song for beginner band members.
It’s a classic old tune that’s easy to play with memorable phrases—highly recommended for those just starting a band.
catDISH//
A four-piece dance-rock band, DISH//, whose members are also active as actors alongside their music careers, has drawn attention with this track.
Although it was originally released as a B-side to their 10th single “Bokutachi ga Yarimashita,” it’s now known as a signature song of DISH//.
The parts are simple and the tempo is relaxed, making it approachable for beginner band members, but it’s important to focus on locking into the bounce of the shuffle beat.
With its catchy and dramatic melody, it’s a number that’s guaranteed to hype up a live crowd.
You don’t listen to rock.aimyon
A female singer-songwriter who has earned overwhelming support from the younger generation with nostalgic songs based on the sound of an acoustic guitar—Aimyon’s third major single.
It’s a popular track that has surpassed 100 million streams, and its lyrics resonate in a way that brings back memories of youth.
The tempo is relaxed, and the ensemble is built through simple playing in every part, making it easy for beginner bands to take on.
However, because of that simplicity, each part stands out more, so don’t let your guard down—treat every single note with care as you play.
Girl SSCANDAL
This is the third major-label single by SCANDAL, a four-piece rock band that honed their skills through energetic live shows and overseas tours since their indie days, and has now grown into one of the representative girl bands of the J-POP scene.
Chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime BLEACH, it’s a rock tune with a somewhat nostalgic melody and arrangement that really sticks with you.
While it features techniques that may feel challenging for beginner band members—such as a guitar riff with wide interval leaps and slap bass—the fingering itself is simple, so you’ll be fine if you practice from a slow tempo.
There’s a section where the feel of the song changes midway, so be careful not to lose the rhythm.

RevengeMy Hair is Bad
My Hair is Bad is a three-piece rock band whose talent has been recognized since their high school days, when they supported numerous bands on tour.
“Vengeance,” which opens their major second album, Mothers, creates an addictive contrast between its hard-hitting lyrics and exhilarating rock sound.
Each instrument’s part is simple, but because the tempo is fast, I recommend that beginner band members practice slowly at first and gradually work up to the original speed.
And since the song is under three minutes, it’s easy to memorize and quickly play together as a band—definitely a number you’ll want to add to your repertoire.
cloudy skyDOES
The sixth single by DOES, a three-piece rock band with numerous anime tie-ins whose robust rock sound excites listeners beyond just anime fans.
The song was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Gintama, and its tight, three-piece ensemble really amps up the energy.
The performance is simple overall: the guitar and bass have few chord changes, and the drums don’t feature complex fills, making it fun for beginner band members to play together.
However, since the tempo is a bit fast, it’s a good idea to practice while listening to the other parts so the band can stay tight.
