WANIMA “Matatabi” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO – Ending theme of the anime “Night of the Living Cat”

WANIMA, a punk-leaning rock band boasting top-tier popularity.

They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Matatabi.” It’s the theme song for the anime “Night of the Living Cat,” and, for WANIMA, it’s unusually shaped into a pretty hardcore melody.

In the middle of the track, there’s a shout that’s almost like a scream, and it’s one of the most satisfying moments in the song—so if you sing it at karaoke, it’s sure to get the crowd going.

10-FEET – Spurt Syndrome (Anime 'Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray' Cour 2 Opening Theme)
Spurt syndromer10-FEET

This song, released in October 2025 by 10-FEET, a three-piece rock band from Kyoto, was written as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray.

Crafted with the image of characters stepping into battle, the track features exhilarating, fast-paced guitar riffs and a dynamic arrangement that plays with tension and release.

The lyrics express—through music—the mental strength and sharpened focus needed to surpass one’s own training records, resonating with anyone sprinting full-speed toward their goals.

It’s a fiery rock tune highly recommended for those who continue to take on new challenges.

AVALANCHEUVERworld

This is a dramatic, weighty rock number chosen as the theme song for the drama Avalanche, starring Go Ayano! Released as a single in November 2021, it was shaped through close alignment during production with Ayano and the director, built on a foundation of mutual trust.

Rage at a world where injustice prevails, and a fierce will to confront it without abandoning hope even in despair, resound alongside TAKUYA∞’s soul-stirring cries.

Even while bearing loneliness and pain, the powerful resolve to move forward by trusting one’s comrades is sure to set your heart ablaze.

Bye-Bye to youUVERworld

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!

When this song was released, didn’t everyone try singing it? Listening closely, the verses (A and B sections) often sit around the song’s lowest note, E3, so the melody feels relatively calm.

However, the chorus suddenly jumps up to E5, and when you actually sing it, the large interval can be quite surprising.

Pitch control is crucial in that section.

Since the song has an overall bittersweet feel, it might be better not to hold the ends of phrases too long—leave a lingering resonance instead.

Pauses are also important.

Even when you’re not singing, treat the rests as part of the rhythm to bring out the mood.

Give it a try!

This work has gained popularity for its overwhelming rock sound and lyrics that skillfully blend English and Japanese.

THE ORAL CIGARETTES’ powerful performance and Takuya Yamanaka’s soaring vocals leave a strong impression, and this track, released in November 2015, was also chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Noragami ARAGOTO.

The song sparked a huge reaction, surpassing 100 million views on YouTube, and is included on the album FIXION.

With its intense, powerfully thrilling development, the track is perfect for blowing off steam at karaoke.

You can belt it out and savor the liberating feeling that makes you want to shout from the bottom of your heart.

It’s an energetic song in which the band’s expressive power and the anime’s worldview fuse beautifully.

This powerful work unleashes a stunning sound that fuses heavy guitar riffs with rap.

The breathtaking music video, built around live footage of ROS, also features cameo appearances by Dragon Ash’s Kj and 10-FEET’s TAKUMA.

Released in September 2017, the track captured fans’ hearts as an important piece that signaled the band’s musical direction.

With a raw yet groovy approach, it fully delivers the unique thrills of mixture rock.

Its explosive, high-energy performance is perfect for when you need a power boost or a change of pace.

Truly a masterpiece born from the fusion of loud rock and hip-hop.
