LOVE ROCKETSThe Birthday

The Birthday – LOVE ROCKETS [MV] (Opening theme song of the film “THE FIRST SLAM DUNK”)
LOVE ROCKETSThe Birthday

This is the opening theme of the film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK, which was released in December 2022 and became such a major topic that it could be called a social phenomenon.

The song was crafted by The Birthday, with Yusuke Chiba—who has long been active in Japan’s rock scene—on guitar and vocals.

It’s a rock tune with a dark atmosphere, characterized by Chiba’s husky, cool voice.

If your band’s vocalist has a husky tone, this is definitely a song you should try.

Also, since the intro layers the bass, drums, and guitar one by one, it could work well in a live setting to open the show with this track and have the members enter the stage one at a time.

Vaundy’s “CHAINSAW BLOOD” is all about those cool, heavy guitar riffs.

Released in 2022 as a digital-only single, it was used as the ending theme for episode 1 of the anime Chainsaw Man.

It’s the most rock-oriented track in Vaundy’s catalog, evoking bands like Nirvana and Mötley Crüe.

If your band likes a heavier sound, this is definitely a song you should try tackling!
