By now, there probably isn’t a hip-hop fan in Kansai—or even in all of Japan—who doesn’t know this track.

It’s ANARCHY’s signature song, depicting his harrowingly tragic upbringing with nothing held back.

With its simple rhymes, memorable lyrics, and striking hook, you might think it’d be easy to pull off at karaoke, but his unique vocal projection and delivery—he himself says, “No one can imitate my rap”—pose a significant challenge.

Rather than approaching it like hip-hop, it’s recommended to tackle it with the attitude of singing rock.
