Intense Songs (21–30)
Telecastic fake showRin to shite Shigure
This is a Ling tosite Sigure song known for the intense back-and-forth between TK and 345’s male–female twin vocals.
On a high-speed beat around 200 BPM, intricately interwoven guitar riffs and virtuosic drumming take center stage, and the worldview—depicting the frustration of a protagonist fed up with a phony show—is equally compelling.
The raw, prickling tension pairs perfectly with a catchy melody that sticks in your head.
Released in April 2008 as the band’s first single, the track was later included on the classic album “just A moment.” It has also been featured in the game Taiko no Tatsujin.
Give it a listen when everyday life feels underwhelming and you want to surrender yourself to music that shakes your brain to its core.
Song of SteelersFear, and Loathing in Las Vegas
An intense yet catchy sound born from the fusion of electronica and metalcore.
This track by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas was released in January 2025.
Created as the official theme song for the rugby team Kobelco Kobe Steelers, it captivates listeners with a remarkable harmony of digital sounds and live instruments.
The lyrics vividly conjure up the players and their fierce battles, adding to its appeal.
It’s a hype-inducing anthem that fires you up!
maximum speedSHISHAMO
A SHISHAMO track that rides a high-velocity rock groove with a message about believing in yourself and charging forward.
Released in January 2024, it’s been making waves as the tie-in song for the BOAT RACE 2024 commercial series.
Written and composed by Asako Miyazaki, the song is delivered over an aggressive melody.
It’s a powerful anthem that matches the commercial’s theme that anyone can shine.
Listen to this and you’ll definitely feel like keeping pace at your own top speed, no matter how tough things get.
A perfect track for cranking up your energy or blowing off stress.
Flamejoōbachi
This is a song by the rock band Queen Bee that made a powerful impact as the opening theme for the TV anime Dororo.
Many listeners were likely captivated by its innovative sound, which shifts from the alluring phrases of a Japanese flute to a fusion of heavy guitars and a dance beat.
The track is said to center on a fiery cry of the soul—defying fate and pushing forward even if it means destroying everything.
Avu-chan’s commanding vocals express that passion to the fullest.
Released in January 2019, the album Ju that features this song debuted at No.
5 on the Oricon charts.
When you’re seized by helpless anger or the urge to change your circumstances, listening to it will surely give you a push forward.
Bye-Bye to youUVERworld
Speaking of UVERworld’s songs, they tend to stay in the high register throughout.
This track, too, keeps high notes from start to finish, and the pitch moves up and down quite a lot, so if you’re not used to singing high, there’s a concern you might end up straining your throat.
The high note that pops up at the end of the chorus jumps to a C5, so it might be good to start by practicing just that part to hit it explosively.
To produce a powerful voice like vocalist TAKUYA∞, you need solid core support! If your body wobbles while riding a train or bus, it means your lower abdomen (tanden) isn’t engaged.
That will make your singing waver too, so try singing with firm strength in your lower abdomen.
It’s a difficult song, so don’t rush—practice steadily!
THE DAYPorunogurafiti
PornoGraffitti is famous for their high vocal range, and I think “THE DAY” is one of their highest songs, especially at the top end.
The tempo is quite fast too, so if you’re going to sing it, it’ll be tough to keep up unless you really memorize the song first.
Also, vocalist Okano mostly uses chest voice and belts the high notes in his natural voice, but the highest note at the end of the chorus, C#5, is in falsetto.
That switch is so cool, isn’t it? Since the song is up-tempo, if you’re not comfortable with high notes, I recommend lowering the key by one or two steps instead of starting in the original key.
Rather than focusing on pitch at first, start by getting used to the speed! You might get caught up in just getting the notes out, but don’t forget to breathe!
WHEELER-DEALEROxT
An ambitious work by OxT that radiates the heat of digital rock.
Released in September 2024 as the theme song for the Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom theatrical anime.
Centered on themes of power, loyalty, and choices amid chaos, Masayoshi Oishi’s powerful vocals resound throughout.
Tom-H@ck’s sound design crafts a grand world that enriches the anime’s story.
Its energetic melodies and weighty sound are perfect for cranking up your hype or blowing off stress.
With enough force to sweep your worries away, it’s sure to shake your heart to its core.
