fallen angelCreepy Nuts
This is the opening theme of the TV anime “Call of the Night,” performed by the duo of DJ Matsunaga—who served as the DJ at the Tokyo Olympics closing ceremony—and R-Shitei, an undisputed top freestyle rapper in Japan.
It’s a track you can enjoy as a catchy pop song with great wordplay, distinct from what you might typically imagine when you hear ‘hip-hop.’ That said, it remains a challenging piece: if you miss a breathing cue, you’ll stumble all the way to the end.
If you listen closely to the original and pay attention to the rests, you can really appreciate just how advanced R-Shitei’s technique is.

Riding a high-velocity beat, this is one of GADORO’s signature tracks that humorously portrays life and personal values.
It compellingly sings of a down-to-earth way of living, optimistically contrasting ideals with reality.
Included on the album TAKANABE, the song teams GADORO with producer CHIVA from BUZZER BEATS, capturing listeners with a pleasing sense of release.
The music video features Machiura Pink, with visuals directed by ISSEI that are not to be missed.
Since its release in April 2024, the track has drawn significant attention—and it’s a must-sing choice for karaoke.
BUDS MONTAGENectar
True to Namatadoma’s deep respect for Nujabes, piercingly streetwise lyrics—on par with MSC—hit hard over music that’s incredibly relaxing to listen to.
The rhymes are expressed just enough to sound natural, the jargon is kept to a minimum, and the rap reads smoothly as prose—at this point, it’s practically literature.
In BUDS MONTAGE, there are many phrases that deliberately slip off the rhythm, almost like spoken word.
If you try to follow the lyrics on a karaoke screen, you’ll fall out of sync, so make sure to really listen to the original track and lock in the timing.
