Classic songs about fights. Recommended popular tracks (11–20)
I messed up!!busai-ku
Rather than a fight song, Busaiku’s “Yatchatta!!” is more like a track that lets you vent your daily frustrations and pent-up stress all at once.
It’s catchy right from the start and stays energetic through to the end—a fun song you can listen to in one go.
Released in 2015 as Busaiku’s third single and produced by Masahiro Nakai, the song voices complaints about your boss at work and that urge to talk back even when you’re not in a position to pick a fight—feelings we all have, right? It speaks up for those emotions in a refreshing, satisfying way.
Sibling quarrelZushi Sankyōdai
Zushi Sankyodai is a three-man male vocal group.
As their name suggests, they’re real-life brothers from Zushi City in Kanagawa Prefecture.
Their song “Kyodai Kenka” (Sibling Fight) is included on their fourth album, MINERAL, released in 2017.
A song about a sibling fight sung by actual brothers—of course it’s going to feel real, right? And it’s three brothers, all guys—sounds intense, doesn’t it? (lol) It’s a track packed tight with that authentic sibling rivalry, and the heavy sound is seriously cool too, making it much more than just a simple brothers’ quarrel.
Gorilla PunchMomoiro Kurōbā Zetto
You can’t help but be hooked by the title alone—Momoiro Clover Z’s “Gorilla Punch.” The song is included on Momoclo’s third album, “AMARANTHUS,” released in 2016.
It originally featured former member Momoka Ariyasu, but after her graduation, Ayaka Sasaki—aka Aarin—has taken over her parts.
While “gorilla” often symbolizes strength, a panda also makes an appearance in the lyrics, making it a track kids can enjoy too.
The call-and-response is a blast as well, with the shout being the gorilla’s cry, “Uho!”
BILEVE MEINFINITY16
“BELIEVE ME,” included on INFINITY16’s 2010 album LOVE.
As the title suggests, it’s a love song from a man’s perspective telling her, “Believe me and come with me.” What he says is fairly one-sided—basically a “Just follow me without question” kind of message.
That would lead to fights, of course.
Still, no matter how much he makes her anxious, the one thing he most wants to convey is that the only person he loves is her.
Shut up!HKT48
The song “Shekarashika!” is a collaboration between HKT48, an idol group based in Hakata, and Kishidan.
Released in 2015 as HKT48’s sixth single, Haruka Kodama served as the center.
The title “Shekarashika!” means “noisy/annoying” in the Hakata dialect.
It’s practically picking a fight right from the title (lol).
Although it’s performed by a female idol group, the song seems to present a romance perspective from a male point of view.
Even so, it’s expressed in a cute, idol-like way.
It’s complete chaos.CRAZY KEN BAND
It’s a collaboration song between HKT48 and Kishidan, and the outfits are full-on tokko-fuku (delinquent-style uniforms).
Their performance with Kishidan is fun, but maybe the impact falls a bit short since everyone’s so cute (lol).
“Shekarashika” generally means “noisy” in Fukuoka Prefecture and the Kyushu region where HKT is based, but in the context of the song it probably carries the nuance of “Shut up!” or “You’re so loud!”

Stay 19 foreverHamada Shogo
Shogo Hamada, who enjoys overwhelming support from men in their 50s and 60s.
The song “19 no Mama sa” is one of the tracks on the album “J.BOY,” released in 1986.
Rather than a song about fighting, it’s a sentimental love song in which the singer remembers a girlfriend they grew apart from because they kept arguing, and ultimately broke up.
As adults, we often find ourselves reminiscing about the love we had when we were young—those immature romances.
It’s a situation anyone can relate to: suddenly recalling her just as she remains in your memory, beautiful and unchanged.
