We’re in the car again today.Hump Back36rank/position
Here’s a song released in 2019 by Hump Back, a girls’ rock band from Osaka.
The lyrics are fairly wordy, but the tempo is slow, so I think you’ll be able to play it calmly.
The song is also short and simple, so it should be easy to practice.
For songs with a straightforward ensemble, the key is whether each member’s performance locks in well, so it might be a good idea to record yourselves and listen back objectively.
FREEDOM FIGHTERSSCANDAL37rank/position
An energetic rock tune that inspires young people chasing their dreams! Delivering a powerful sound along with a fierce resolve to carve out one’s own destiny, this uplifting anthem by the rock band SCANDAL is included on their album “SCANDAL,” released in February 2017.
It carries a message filled with strong determination when facing the many barriers before you, and hope for the future.
The aggressive guitar riffs and rhythmic drums create a sound that will be a reliable ally in any situation where you want to fire yourself up—whether it’s a performance at a school festival or right before a sports match.
It’s your fault.the peggies38rank/position
This is a single released in November 2018, used as the opening theme for the anime Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai.
It’s a signature work by the three-piece band the peggies and is included on the album MMY.
The song rides a high-velocity rock sound to convey straightforward feelings and the itchy awkwardness of a love you can’t quite be honest about.
Its chorus bursts open into an exhilarating melody that’s guaranteed to shine live, taking the crowd’s energy to its peak!
My VegaRīgaru Rirī39rank/position
An alternative, melodic number that evokes a summer night sky and strikes the heart.
Crafted by Regal Lily, this track was released as a single in July 2025 and was used as the ending theme for Season 4 of the TV anime Rent-A-Girlfriend.
Centered around a crystalline guitar sound, it explores the theme of a presence that should have vanished yet continues to shine within the heart, achieving a world that feels pop while tinged with loneliness.
It’s best to carefully refine the emotional expression of the vocals and the balance of the ensemble before the final take.
