We’d like to introduce songs by Kishidan, a rock band that performs in a “Yank Rock” style—a fusion of punk rock and the Japanese delinquent (yankee) aesthetic.
Their unwavering commitment to the yankee concept, sharp sense of humor, and undeniable rock-band cool all coexist.
And where can you fully savor their appeal? It has to be their live shows.
One moment you’ll be laughing at their witty MCs, the next you’ll be captivated by their tight performances—and when the chorus hits, everyone joins in the choreography for a good time.
It’s a packed experience.
So, with those live scenes in mind, please enjoy this playlist.

Kishidan’s Best and Most Popular Songs (1–10)
Bōsō spiritKishidan
Formed in Kisarazu, Chiba, Kishidan have stayed true to their unique “YANK ROCK.” Their song Boso-damashii (Boso Spirit) is packed with love for their home region of Boso and a vow to reunite.
Opening their January 2023 album THE YⒶNK ROCK HERØES, the track also supplied the subtitle for KISHIDAN EXPO 2022.
With the Ska Para Horns onboard, the celebratory sound is guaranteed to fire up listeners’ hearts.
The lyrics express pride in the place where they were born and raised, and the joy of reuniting with friends.
It’s perfect for anyone with a burning love for their hometown!
You pure motherfuckersKishidan
As a CD single from Kishidan, this is their first new track in an incredible 5 years and 8 months.
Written by Show Ayanokoji, it serves as the theme song for the drama “Donketsu,” airing from April 25, 2025! It’s a hot, rough-and-ready rock band sound that’s quintessentially Kishidan and perfectly matches the yakuza-themed world of the drama.
The melody line is very straightforward, and with the same chorus melody recurring, it shouldn’t be hard to memorize.
Also, as you’d expect from a Kishidan song, the vocal range isn’t too high, making it comfortable for male singers.
It sounds coolest when you sing with a clenched-fist, power-through vibe! Just be careful to keep your throat relaxed and not tense up.
Using gestures helps you naturally loosen up and makes it easier to sing.
Be sure to learn the choreography and have fun singing along!
Gulf Nocturne: Lucifer’s Hammer ’94Kishidan
This song is really cool too—it’s an energizing track that blows away the lethargy of everyday life.
It feels like it speaks for all the annoying things we deal with daily, and that’s awesome.
Listening to it is so refreshing.
The title is long, but once you hear it, you’ll be hooked.
MY WAYKishidan
As for the cover, with their arrangement it sounds like a new song.
I used to think it was a lame song, partly because it was in the textbook, but when Sho sings it, it somehow sounds cool.
The tempo is great and the arrangement is really good.
It’s the best.
Because I’m only gonna be happy, you know.Kishidan
Even though it sounds flashy, the words are truly heartfelt—it’s that kind of song.
It’s a track where they laid bare their straightforward feelings that still linger with me.
Sho is incredibly cool.
I wish people today could hold on to feelings like these, too.
I love youKishidan
A track from the original album “Ai Ra Bu Yuu.” Just looking at the title, you might think it’s cheesy, but the song itself is really good, the kind you want to keep listening to.
I love how earnestly they’re shouting.
Their live performance was cool too—I was smitten.
Lullaby of the TidesKishidan
It’s finished as a track that truly reflects their signature sound.
It’s insanely cool.
It’s included on the album “BOY’S COLOR.” Since it’s called a lullaby, I expected it to be slow, but I was surprised by how powerful the sound is.
The guitar has a cool, nostalgic vibe.
