Classic songs about fights. Recommended popular tracks (21–30)

At the corner of the crowdTakahashi Yuu

Have you ever found yourself stumbling upon a fight in the street? I imagine quite a few people have.

Starting from such a shocking scene, Takahashi Yu’s song “Zatto no Katasumi de” (In a Corner of the Crowd) is one of the tracks on his 2012 album “Kono Koe.” Many of Takahashi Yu’s songs feel raw and real, don’t they? This one, too, has lyrics that vividly paint the scene and resonate with familiar experiences.

It sings about commonplace emotions, yet it also makes you wish to live peacefully and amicably.

It’s a song that blends a heart-wrenching sense of longing with the strength to rise again and again.

This work portrays someone who, battered and bruised, holds the bond with their friends close to their heart, defies fate, and vows revenge.

Released in May 2021, the track is the theme song for the hugely popular TV anime Tokyo Revengers, so many of you may have heard it.

Its musical boldness was highly praised, earning the “Video of the Year” at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan.

When you’re taking on a challenge and feel like your spirit might break, listening to it will surely give you a strong push forward.

It’s the theme song for the film Saboi Bo Mask, starring Funky Kato himself.

What’s described in these lyrics often happens between brothers and sisters.

If you have a high-achieving older brother or sister, the complex can be overwhelming.

But the reason you can fight this seriously is precisely because you’re siblings.

SUPER EIGHT – Forty-Year-Old Boy (from “Super DOME TOUR 20th Festival”)
vulgar; nasty; ruthless; brutal; outrageousKanjani∞

The rap argument between Kanjani Eight members Okura and Yasuda is really entertaining.

Maybe it’s because they speak in Kansai dialect, but even when they’re arguing honestly, it somehow feels heartwarming to listen to.

They must be close to each other to be able to sing a song like this.

Deliver Punchkyarī pamyu pamyu

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, who perfectly suits a cute, fantastical world, has chosen a title with quite a punch.

It’s a short track, but it feels like a heartbreak song to me.

For anyone who’s had someone they’ve wanted to punch, I hope this song helps you relax instead.

[Nostalgic Anime] Tom and Jerry Theme Song [Uncut Version]

Originally an old American cartoon, Tom and Jerry is loved by children of every generation.

I think many young people know it too.

The humorous back-and-forth between Tom, the somewhat goofy cat, and Jerry, the clever mouse, is really fun to watch.

This is a cute song about a cat and mouse who quarrel but are still good friends.

This song, Ayamari-rhythm, sung by the male folk duo Sakura Shimeji, was released as a single in 2017 and served as the ending theme for the anime Tomica Hyper Rescue Drive Head: Kidō Kyūkyū Keisatsu.

Rather than putting the spotlight squarely on a quarrel, it’s more about what comes after—an apology song, as the title suggests.

It’s a cute “I’m sorry” track that sings about the regret of having fought and the feelings you only realize because you argued.
