Everyone has probably heard the word “ganaru” at least once.
However, many people may only think of it as meaning “to shout loudly.”
In reality, “ganaru” refers to delivering a shout (vocal growl/rasp) in singing.
There are many kinds of shouts, and how they sound can vary greatly depending on the artist.
This time, we’ve picked out superb works that let you savor the appeal of “ganari”/“shout” vocals.
We’re also featuring the latest tracks, so be sure to check them out.

[Insanely Loud!!!] Intensely Raspy Songs (21–30)
VENGEANCEcoldrain
Amid fierce guitar riffs and a thunderous rhythm, the epic soundscape is defined by the piercing cries of a soul consumed by vengeance.
Centered on a thirst for revenge born from deep pain and betrayal, it powerfully portrays a descent into darkness.
At the same time, it offers layered hints of salvation and hope beyond that abyss.
Released on February 11, 2024, this work was chosen as the opening theme for Adult Swim’s anime series “NINJA KAMUI,” where it perfectly matches the show’s worldview.
It’s a track that will resonate when you want to unleash the anger and anguish within.
Odd DancerGLIM SPANKY
Aren’t songs written for men often hard for women to really belt out? This is especially true if you have a slightly raspy voice, which can make you feel even less confident.
For anyone who feels that way, I recommend Odd Dancer by GLIM SPANKY.
It’s a striking, downer-style rock track that evokes the 1990s US punk scene, and despite its languid vibe, it features plenty of parts you can shout along to.
If you’re a woman with a husky voice, try this song to blow off some steam!

The song drew attention for being composed by Akita Horie—who also works as a Vocaloid producer under the name kemu.
His vocals interweave clean tones with a husky delivery, ramping up the tension alongside a hysterical ensemble.
It’s an aggressive rock tune that pulls you into its dark world.
Get Back feat. JUMADIBA & Watsonralph
Rapper ralph gained attention after winning ABEMA’s RAPSTAR2020, and he’s been making moves with rap that leverages his deep, low-register voice.
His single “Get Back (feat.
JUMADIBA & Watson),” released on April 5, 2023, also drew buzz for featuring JUMADIBA and Watson, just as the title suggests.
The flow woven with his husky low voice creates a different kind of aggressiveness than intense shouts.
It’s a stylish hip-hop tune where distinct individualities collide.
Dark Horse feat. JESSE (RIZE / The BONEZ) Prod. KM(sic)boy
Artist (sic)boy has been making his presence felt with a sound that blends elements of alternative, emo, and loud rock into hip-hop.
His single “Dark Horse feat.
JESSE (RIZE / The BONEZ) Prod.
KM,” featuring JESSE—well-known as the core figure of RIZE—also drew attention as a collaboration made possible through their hometown senpai-kohai connection.
The raspy, hard-driving flow, combined with the loud, heavy sound, really amps up the energy.
It’s a new-era hybrid tune that both rock fans and hip-hop fans should hear.
Devil in Your HeartSiM
A shocking track that fuses ferocious shouts with an unforgettable melody.
Centered on themes of inner demons and conflict, it unleashes a unique sound that exquisitely blends punk and reggae.
As an ambitious work that marks a new frontier in SiM’s musicality, it was included on the April 2020 album “THANK GOD, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF WAYS TO KiLL ENEMiES.” In the music video, the band’s distinctive worldview is portrayed through scenes of the members being toyed with by a demon.
Highly recommended for those who want to confront the darkness within alongside a powerful sound.

A rock number that depicts a quirky slice of everyday life set in Osaka with furious death growls and gritty, hard-driving guitar tones! It’s a track where melodic hardcore and pop-punk fuse in a perfectly balanced way.
The lyrics brimming with Yabai T-Shirts Yasan’s signature humor, paired with shouts that straightforwardly vent frustration, grab listeners’ hearts and don’t let go.
