AK-69 – And I Love You So

This is one of AK-69’s signature songs, known for its mellow beat and lyrics that express deep feelings for a loved one.

It candidly conveys affection and gratitude toward a partner in everyday life, resonating with many listeners.

The track was included on the album “THE CARTEL FROM STREETS,” released in September 2009, and later featured on the best-of album “Road to The Independent King.” It is often used as wedding BGM, especially for the couple’s re-entrance after a costume change, and is loved by a wide audience.

It’s a recommended song when you want to feel the bond with someone special or share your gratitude with a loved one.

Flying BAK-692rank/position

AK-69 – 「Flying B」（Official Video）

AK-69, a charismatic figure in Japan’s hip-hop scene who keeps rapping about the indomitable spirit of clawing your way up from the bottom and aiming for the top.

This track is a fiery anthem of fighting spirit, depicting his resolve to turn adversity into fuel and rise from “B-class” to soaring in the sky.

With no Auto-Tune, his rap hurls the raw cry from deep in his chest straight at you, shaking the listener’s emotions to the core.

Released as a single in February 2016, it was also included on DAWN, his first album after moving to the prestigious Def Jam Recordings.

Listen to it at the moment you steel yourself to step into the ring—like a sumo wrestler heading to the dohyo—and it’s sure to push you forward.

Forever Young feat. UVERworldAK-693rank/position

Finally, the music video is out!! AK-69 “Forever Young feat. UVERworld” (from the album ‘DAWN’ releasing on November 23)

This is a powerful track created by AK-69, a charismatic figure in the hip-hop scene, teaming up with the hugely popular rock band UVERworld.

The passionate message—“This moment right now is the youngest you’ll ever be for the rest of your life”—ignites the fighting spirit of its listeners.

The song was included on the album DAWN, released in November 2016, and was also chosen as the theme song for the drama ‘Work Isn’t School’ (Kaisha wa Gakkō ja Nee n da yo).

Its power is evident from the fact that many top athletes, including mixed martial artist Kai Asakura and SoftBank Hawks pitcher Shota Takeda, have selected it as their pump-up song for competition.

START IT AGAINAK-694rank/position

AK-69 – START IT AGAIN REMIX feat. YZERR（Official Video | 360 Reality Audio ver.）

Many people probably have the image of AK-69 as having a hard, 90s-style rap vibe, but he actually creates quite a few gentle, ballad-like tracks as well.

Even when the lyrics come from a place of being down, you can feel his indomitable spirit—like a quiet yet blazing passion smoldering underneath, very much his style.

He’s respected from many angles as a Japanese rapper who has achieved a lot, and I feel that his strong, straightforward character is what people love about him.

When I revisit his early works, there are definitely moments where you can glimpse that side of him.

ONEAK-695rank/position

Kalassy Nikoff a.k.a. AK-69 – ONE

The entrance song of professional boxer Takuma Inoue, the younger of the Inoue brothers, is AK-69’s “ONE.” He has publicly stated that he’s a fan of AK-69.

I think a favorite artist’s track is indeed perfect for getting pumped up.

AK-69 – Locker Room -Go Hard or Go Home- [PV Short Ver.]

AK-69 is popular among athletes.

Kosei Tanaka and Takashi Uchiyama have used his songs as their entrance music.

In particular, for many of Tanaka’s fights, AK-69 even got up in the ring before the match to perform.

According to Tanaka, he resonates with the lyrics about being particular about how you win.

It’s a rousing track!
