The build-up heading into the intro is insanely cool! It’s a track released in 2021 under the rock band Teary Planet led by Nanao.
It’s a high-impact, mixture-style hard rock number.
The sheer intensity of the sound alone gets your adrenaline pumping.
It also matches perfectly with flower’s almost-tearing vocal delivery.

Creepy CrawlyThe Studs
Powerfully expressing the anxieties and inner conflicts that lurk deep within, this track by The Studs is a driving, up-tempo number where melancholic guitars intertwine with a pulsating rhythm.
Portraying a protagonist who confronts unknown fears and the difficulty of living, the lyrics convey a strong will to overcome, capturing the hearts of Visual Kei fans in the 2000s.
Released in October 2008 as the first of three consecutive weekly singles and later included on the album “alansmithee,” the song also features a music video on the limited first-press DVD.
It remains beloved as a lyrical, dramatic piece that resonates with all who strive to face forward and live on, even when reality threatens to crush them.
Clock StrikesToru、Ryota
Toru, the guitarist, and Ryota, the bassist of the rock band ONE OK ROCK, are from Osaka.
Although they’re often thought of as a Tokyo band, it seems these two were central to the band’s formation.
The appeal of their music lies not only in Taka’s overwhelming vocal prowess but also in their dramatic and grand compositions.
When they debuted, they were known mainly among a segment of Japanese rock fans, but now they’re a band loved not just in Japan, but around the world.
Crazy CrazyTravis Japan
An energetic dance number that evokes scenes of reveling in youth.
The music video depicting a showdown in school uniforms drew attention and became a hot topic.
Released digitally on October 21, 2024, this track is a lead single from the album “VIIsual,” due out on December 4 of the same year.
Its liberating message—enjoying life with friends beyond your limits—will resonate with anyone wanting to break free from various constraints.
Brimming with explosive energy, it stands as a song that symbolizes Travis Japan’s global ambitions.
Crush CoreTyrkouaz
Tyrkouaz is a new-generation artist you should definitely check out.
They’re a neo-mixture rock band made up of the twins S o ü t a and r e n t, and they’ve been releasing one buzzworthy track after another under the theme of “a new interpretation of video game music.” Tyrkouaz has also been steadily growing their fanbase through live performances.
You can watch their performances on their official YouTube channel, so I highly recommend checking it out.
Q.E.D.UVERworld
The song “Q.E.D.” is included on the 9th album TYCOON.
It was used as the ending theme for the suspense fantasy series Grimm, and its message—urging you to live life on your own terms—makes a strong impact.
Although the melody is complex, with a high key and many leaps in pitch, the overall vocal range isn’t wide, so it becomes easier to sing if you set a key that suits you.
Because the song structure develops rapidly in a way characteristic of UVERworld, be careful not to get left behind when singing it at karaoke.
