The Dresscodes – Super, Super Sad

Super, Super Sad, which evokes UK rock like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, is a track we’d love you to listen to when you’re feeling sentimental.

Its near-clean guitar tone and simple performance create an emotional mood.

While the beauty of the melody line stands out, the lyrics overflowing with kindness are also captivating.

The dry strumming and single-note guitar solo feel like an homage to Western rock.

Give this wistful rock ’n’ roll a listen—something you’ll find yourself humming when you’re feeling lonely.

dresscodes “Misfits” MUSIC VIDEO

The new song by The Dresscodes, led by Ryohei Shima as he embarks on the second chapter of his solo project, is a work themed around loneliness and alienation, resonating with the world of his autobiography “Bokudake wa Blue” (I’m the Only One Who’s Blue).

Set to a driving rhythm, it powerfully gives voice to the feelings of an “outsider,” unfolding an emotional sonic landscape.

Released digitally in April 2025 as a lead track from the album “† (Cross),” slated for May 2025, and premiered live at LIQUIDROOM in Tokyo, the song builds on the foundations of rock ’n’ roll while incorporating contemporary arrangements.

It’s a track that will surely speak to listeners who want to immerse themselves in Shima’s inner world, as well as to anyone who feels they don’t quite fit into society.

The Dresscodes “Human Video” MUSIC VIDEO (Theme Song for the Full 3DCG Animated Film “GANTZ:O”)

This song, included on the 2017 album “Heibon,” served as the theme song for the film “GANTZ:O.” Its blood-soaked, shocking music video became a hot topic, and a censored version with mosaic blurring was also released.

In stark contrast to the dark impression at the beginning, the chorus unfolds with the fresh, signature style of The Dresscodes.

Dresscodes – Trash (medium version)

After The Mairs’ breakup at the end of 2011, this was the first song officially released as a dresscodes track in July 2012.

With guitar sounds reminiscent of classic Western rock ’n’ roll and Ryohei Shima’s languid vocals, it stands as a signature song from the band’s early period.

True to its title, “Trash,” the lyrics string together self-destructive and pessimistic lines, yet perhaps thanks to its catchy rock sound, it also conveys a defiant, forward-looking spirit—like saying, “We’re not done yet!”

Short MV of the theme song “Comic Generation” (by the dresscodes) for the film Drowning Love

“Comic Generation” is a signature song by The Mummy’s (Kegawa no Maries), the predecessor band led by Ryohei Shima.

In 2016, it was re-recorded under The Dresscodes name as the theme song for the film Drowning Love.

The track is quintessentially Maries—or, put another way, peak Ryohei Shima world—pairing rock ’n’ roll backing with a disarmingly straightforward declaration of love, the kind of thing that hits you square in the heart whether you’re a fan or not.

At the same time, its melody is catchy and approachable, so it’s likely many people who heard it in the movie found themselves intrigued.

Released in 2013, this song became the last single by the original four members.

It features a guitar sound that embodies the Dresscodes’ signature rock ’n’ roll, along with drum fills packed in to the hilt, making for a striking track.

Ryohei Shima’s vocals are more powerful than ever, and you can feel the song’s exploration of “what rock ’n’ roll is” through his voice itself.

In particular, the spoken line just before the second chorus is incredibly cool—it conveys a resolve to live alongside rock, and it’s impossible not to be moved.
