Dragon Ash – Straight Up feat. JESSE – 【Official Music Video】

The piece “Straight Up feat.

JESSE,” in which Dragon Ash collaborates with JESSE, known for RIZE and The BONEZ, brought a lot of buzz at the time of its release thanks to the joint performance of two artists who represent Japan’s rock scene.

Surprisingly, the song is quite easy to sing.

While its Western-music flavor might make it seem difficult, the vocal line covers a narrow range with no drastic pitch shifts.

As long as you can handle the English, it’s a track anyone can aim to score highly on.

A song that carries a message of renewal and hope: even while grappling with setbacks and stagnation, time turns on and morning comes.

Dragon Ash｢Under Age’s Song｣

At festivals, Dragon Ash is known for the moment before performing their signature song “FANTASISTA,” when they ask, “Do you like mixture rock?” Their festival setlists are often put together to hit hard in rapid succession, but here I’d like to introduce the laid-back “Under Age’s Song.” Released in 1998 as their third single, it’s a simple yet warmly compassionate, peaceful track.

At live shows, you can hear a punk-arranged version.

It starts with a funky, disco-style instrumental, and the cleverly rhymed rap feels absolutely smooth.

There’s almost no rock flavor; in terms of genre, it’s pure hip-hop.

Among their previous releases that leaned more toward a mixture of styles, this was the first track to shift fully toward hip-hop.
