TemptationGLAY
A song by GLAY, the four-piece rock band from Hokkaido that has etched numerous legends into Japan’s rock history, including staging outdoor concerts that drew 100,000 people.
It’s a standout number with a masterful dynamic structure: an intro that begins with a weighty, odd-meter riff, followed by a hook-driven chorus that’s unmistakably GLAY.
Packed with the band’s diverse musicality and crowd-pleasing elements, it’s a rock track that’s sure to get you hyped—whether at karaoke or at a live show.
Get WildTM NETWORK
This is a landmark TM NETWORK track whose intro—like a headlong dash through a city night—captivated countless fans with its sheer coolness.
The narrative lyrics carry a powerful message: even while burdened by pain and loneliness, sharing a dream with someone can make you stronger.
Released in April 1987, the single was used as the ending theme for the TV anime City Hunter, and later helped solidify the band’s popularity by contributing to their first No.
1 on the charts with the best-of album Gift for Fanks.
A pioneering piece of digital rock, it’s the kind of song that quietly stirs the heart and lifts your spirits when you’re struggling to overcome something.
GO!!!FLOW
An ultra-energetic mixture rock track with soul-shaking twin vocals exploding onto the scene! Many of you probably listened to it obsessively when it was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Naruto.
Released in April 2004 as FLOW’s fourth major single, this smash hit spent three consecutive weeks in the top 10 of the Oricon charts.
Riding a breakneck, exhilarating sound, its fiery message—don’t rely on someone else’s map; carve out your own future with your own hands—ignites the smoldering passion in your heart.
It’s the ultimate fight song that floods you with limitless courage and power when you’re about to start a new challenge or face a towering wall.
GuaranaSukima Suichi
I want to make a move on the girl I like! But I don’t have the courage…
This is an ultra-catchy cheer-up song dedicated to guys like that.
It carries the message: don’t try to act cool—just tell her how you feel.
In the music video, the girl dancing in a sailor-style school uniform is lively and makes a strong impression.
BANDAGEAyumu Imazu
The powerful message of “Take action now” resonates deeply.
Dissatisfaction with myself and those around me who won’t face forward, a tangle of complex thoughts—this song vividly depicts the feelings of someone who kept putting bandages on their emotional wounds and ran from truly facing them.
Written in March 2024 as the ending theme for the MBS/TBS drama “If You Fall in Love, the Second Time Is Better,” the track reflects Ayumu Imazu’s own experiences and underscores the importance of shedding doubt and moving forward with courage.
It’s a song that gently nudges those who, even while burdened by hesitation and regret, want to take that first step.
Up-tempo and irresistibly rhythmic, it makes you tap along.
MONSTER DANCEKEYTALK
A song by the rock band KEYTALK, marked by razor-sharp guitar riffs and high-energy beats.
Its catchy melody and addictive sound naturally sweep listeners into a dance-fueled whirlwind.
2014年10月にリリースされ、JVCケンウッドの「PitaSma」ヘッドホンのCMで取り上げられ、テレビ朝日の「musicる TV」のテーマソングとして使用されました。2021年以降はバラエティ番組「新しいカギ」のテーマソングも務め、そのエネルギッシュな雰囲気で番組を盛り上げています。
It’s the perfect track when you’re feeling down or need a motivation boost.
REALiZELiSA
“REALiZE,” the theme song for the Japanese-dubbed version of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
It’s a straightforward rock tune that highlights LiSA’s sharp, powerful vocals.
The high-speed number vividly conjures images of Spider-Man soaring through the air, and just listening to it feels like a great way to blow off steam.
The guitar riffs ringing to the rhythm, the hefty, dynamic sound, and the catchy melody all feel great—and it’s perfect for karaoke, too!
