The Cro-Magnons 'Charge Rock'

Tokugeki Rock, the band’s 11th single released in 2012, served as the opening theme for the TV anime NARUTO Shippuden.

It was The Cro-Magnons’ first song tied to an anime.

With its fierce eight-beat rhythm and distorted electric guitars, it’s a cool rock track featuring their signature arrangement.

The simple, catchy chorus—somewhat reminiscent of the Ramones—is powerful and satisfying, making it a quintessential Cro-Magnons song.

The Cro-Magnons “Proceeding in a Thunderstorm”

With a snarling, heavily distorted electric guitar and Hiroto Kōmoto’s gentle yet rough-edged vocals, this punk number’s intro alone gives me nonstop goosebumps: their 10th single, “Raiu Kekko” (“Proceed Despite the Thunderstorm”).

Even the title—so punchy and packed with meaning you wonder if a four-character idiom could be this cool—is absolutely perfect.

Masatoshi Mashima’s guitar solo, the lyrics that make your heart rise up—everything feels like it gives strength to us listeners.

It’s the punk track I want to hear when I’m down or low on energy!

The Cro-Magnons “Rock Bottom”

A rock number characterized by a sharp, speedy 8-beat.

The repeatedly catchy chorus—somewhere between positive and negative yet somehow encouraging—sticks in your head and becomes addictive.

Also pay attention to the straightforward lyrics that make your gloom gradually feel like it doesn’t matter anymore.

Motorcycles, leather jackets, and curryZa Kuromaniyonzu11rank/position

The Cro-Magnons “Motorbike, Leather Jacket, and Curry”

This is exactly what you’d call punk rock! It’s a simple yet insanely cool track.

It’s a work by The Cro-Magnons, the popular rock band led by Hiroto Kōmoto, released in 2010 as their seventh single.

The sound blends a sense of speed with an energetic vibe—it just feels great to listen to! And maybe because of the lyrics, it kind of makes you want to go on a journey.

Even if you’re feeling down, this song makes you feel like you can push forward again.

Definitely give it a listen when you want to pump yourself up.

The Cro-Magnons 'Giri Giri Ga Gan Gan'

Following 1st “Tally-Ho” and 2nd “Paper Airplane,” The Cro-Magnons have released three singles in about a year.

Just like its title “Giri Giri Ga Gan Gan,” this is a fiercely energetic, rough-and-ready punk number.

You might not fully get what’s going on, but forget the complicated stuff—this track simply makes you feel great, with a sense of invincibility.

It’s a punk song that can turn an already great day into something even better! Definitely one to blast loud on a sunny day!

Con artist rockZa Kuromaniyonzu13rank/position

The Cro-Magnons “Conman Rock”

The 15th single “Con Artist Rock,” released in 2016.

A staple at live shows and festivals, it’s a killer rock tune that takes the excitement to the max.

From Hiroto Kōmoto’s masterfully played, insanely good blues harp in the intro to the beat, the guitars, and the melody—everything just rips and oozes cool.

It’s a track that lets you revel in the blazing rock of Japan’s punk legends, who never seem to lose their edge—in fact, it might just make you think they’re sharper than ever right now!

[The Cro-Magnons] JA Bank 'JA Direct Sales Office Edition' [Doer]

This song, included on The Cro-Magnons’ ninth album “JUNGLE 9,” was released in 2015.

The lyrics and music were written by Masatoshi Mashima, and it was used as the CM song for JA Bank’s “JA Direct Sales” commercial.

Though very simple and short, it’s a quintessential Cro-Magnons number with straightforward, punchy lyrics that make anyone want to start singing.
