ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION Support Songs & Popular Tracks Ranking [2026]
ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION is a four-member rock band formed in 1996 in a university light music club, and they’re popular not only in Japan but also overseas.
They’re affectionately known as “Ajikan,” and some people might not even know their official band name (to be honest, that might be you, haha).
They also became well-known for the theme song of the film Solanin.
Here, we’ll introduce a ranking of uplifting support songs by Ajikan!
ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION Cheer Songs and Popular Song Rankings [2026] (1–10)
SolaninASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION1rank/position
This is the song that became the main theme of the film, and I think people who went through a breakup after a long relationship can relate to it.
The lyrics mirror the film’s story, and although it’s sad, it’s also uplifting.
In the movie, Aoi Miyazaki’s rendition of “Solanin” is also poignant and wonderful.

With its powerful guitar sound and striking lyrics, this song expresses a strong will for self-transformation.
The lyrics convey a determination to erase one’s past self and create a new identity, resonating deeply with listeners.
Included on ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s album “Sol-fa,” it was released in 2004.
It was also used as the opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist, making it popular with a wide audience.
It’s a song that gives you courage when you want to reexamine yourself or are about to take a new step forward.
StandardASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION3rank/position
A song by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION that straightforwardly expresses the energy of simply moving forward.
The powerful band sound, reminiscent of American rock, is striking and conveys a sense of rising excitement.
The lyrics, like a story with a girl as the protagonist, are unique and convey the importance of believing in yourself.
It’s an energetic track that combines heft with lightness, lifting your spirits and encouraging a positive outlook.
marching bandASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION4rank/position
This is an introductory commercial for the Shinken Zemi High School Course featuring Tao Tsuchiya.
Multiple plans are offered to match your target school’s level, making it clear that there’s a roadmap to achieve your goals.
On top of that, the tagline “Everything you need to do is right here” feels very reassuring.
The background music is the high-energy track “Marching Band,” released by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION in 2011.
Its forward-looking message—“Even while carrying all kinds of emotions, light the way to the future and move forward!”—is expressed in Masafumi Gotoh’s own words.
It’s a song that sets listeners’ hearts ablaze.
Ultramarine of a Certain TownASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION5rank/position
A song by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION written specifically for the film Tekkonkinkreet.
With distinctive phrasing, it conveys the pain of repeated trial and error and the courage to take a step beyond it.
Even if the words themselves are complex, they slip easily into the heart thanks in part to the exquisitely calculated interplay between the guitar and drums.
After DarkASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION6rank/position
Meaning “after it gets dark,” After Dark is an uplifting song by the rock band ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION.
It’s a mid-tempo rock tune, a style they excel at.
Kensuke Kita’s distorted guitar and Masafumi Gotoh’s vocals create a very pleasant atmosphere.
The music video, where the members wear suit-like outfits as if they were office workers facing tough jobs every day, is also energizing to watch—highly recommended!
Liberated zoneASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION7rank/position
The music video for this song, directed by Masakazu Ogita, has been creating a buzz as the members sing “freedom” with bright, cheerful expressions alongside their fans.
It’s really innovative that there are no performance scenes at all, isn’t it? It feels like it’s telling us, “Don’t worry about those around you—just live the way you like, as yourself.” It’s a warm song that brings tears to your eyes when you listen to it.
Live in the presentASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION8rank/position
Formed within Kanto Gakuin University’s light music club, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION—affectionately known as Ajikan—is a four-piece rock band.
This is their 19th single.
The song debuted at No.
10 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and is also known as the theme song for the film “Yokomichi Yonosuke.” Starting with a tom-driven phrase on the drums, its shuffle beat and characteristically Ajikan catchy melody lift your spirits.
The message—”treasure this very moment”—set to a brisk rhythm helps ease feelings of discouragement.
It’s a track you’ll want to play when you’ve pushed yourself too hard, are feeling down, and need to let your shoulders relax.
A New WorldASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION9rank/position
There are mornings when you just feel like, “Ugh, I don’t want to leave the house…” Right? On days like that, I recommend “A New World.” The lively, forward-driving guitar riff in the intro is guaranteed to make you think, “I’ve gotta give it my all too!” The lyrics carry a message like, “Who cares what others think? Dive into the new world only you can create,” blowing away any hazy, stuck feelings.
Goto’s vocals, which almost sound nonchalantly cool, will surely give you strength! By the way, Goto cites Oasis’s “Live Forever” as an influential track.
If you’re curious, give that one a listen too!
March of the LivingASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION10rank/position
The song I’d like to introduce as one that stays close to the sense of loss and grief after losing someone dear is “Seija no March” (March of the Living).
It’s performed by the rock band ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION.
While they’re known for many up-tempo tracks, this one is a ballad with a laid-back feel that makes you want to listen at night.
Pay attention to the lyrics, which prompt you to reflect on what life is and how precious it is.
I think you’ll feel just a little more positive after listening.
