Karasuyasabou, who keeps producing Hall-of-Fame-worthy tracks one after another.
The piece he created together with composer Yauri is “Check ‘n’ Chase.” It’s a rock song themed around chess.
Set to a buoyant, springy guitar sound, it portrays a woman who advances things with chess-like strategy and planning.
The expressions interwoven with chess terminology are stylish and cool.

Garden of AsuraWONDERFUL★OPPORTUNITY！
Let me introduce a rock song that retains a traditional Japanese flavor: “Shura no Niwa.” This track was created by Minus Psannga, a member of WONDERFUL★OPPORTUNITY!, and is the first installment in a four-part series.
While the heavy, deep-bass sound leans Western, the lyrics are crafted in classical Japanese.
This contrast creates a truly one-of-a-kind world.
It’s great as a standalone listen, but you’ll feel the song’s storytelling even more when you experience the series from start to finish.
