Their striking contrast between graceful looks and ferocious performances continues to captivate fans both in Japan and abroad.

Released in April 2025, this work was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime “Rock Is a Lady’s Accomplishment.” It’s a powerful track that straightforwardly expresses inner desire and passion, perfectly matching the story of a young lady awakening to rock.

It also drew attention for the performance scenes in the anime, where the band members themselves handled the motion capture.

SHISHAMO is a three-piece girls’ rock band.

Their song “Koisuru” is a popular transformation track on TikTok, often used with sped-up playback.

When sped up, the vocals sound like “Hajimete no Chuu” from the anime Kiteretsu Daihyakka, giving it a cute vibe! In addition to videos that match the title’s theme—“girls change when they fall in love”—it’s also used in eye-catching clips where men dress as women.

A majestic power metal piece where exhilarating twin guitars intersect with burning passion.

Released on LOVEBITES’ January 2020 album Electric Pentagram, this gem of a track sings of the bond among its five members, brought together not by chance but by fate.

It powerfully depicts the challenge of venturing into the unknown and the strong unity among comrades.

The resolve to overcome hardships and carve out a new future resonates deeply alongside the heavy sound.

As a supportive anthem, this song will gently encourage those striving toward their dreams and those walking the path with cherished companions, staying close to the heart.

Akaiko-en – Absolute Relationship (MV Full Ver.) [Theme Song for Fuji TV Saturday Drama “Lost Days”]
Absolute relationshipakai kouen

A song by Akai Ko-en that drew attention for its brief running time of just 100 seconds.

Under the production of Seiji Kameda, the intricate interplay between guitar and bass, along with the color added by the glockenspiel, creates a distinctive world.

Released in March 2014 as the theme song for the drama “Lost Days,” it came out as their 4th single.

With lyrics themed around one’s true feelings versus public facade and a powerful sound that resonates deeply, this track is recommended for moments when you want to reflect on the sense of distance between yourself and others.

Sky-blue DaysSHISHAMO35rank/position

SHISHAMO, a girls’ band that captures the sparkle of youth.

This song they created expresses both the bittersweetness of farewell season and the brightness of moving toward the future with a clear, transparent sound.

It’s wonderful how it doesn’t just linger on memories, but carefully scoops up each person’s emotional tremors.

Released as a single in March 2018, it’s also included on the classic album SHISHAMO 5.

It was used as the Calpis Water “Big Graduation” commercial song, so many of you have probably heard it.

Fresh and up-tempo, this track is perfect for a graduation video that looks back on days spent with friends.

Play it over your montage of memories, and it will make everyone’s smiles shine even brighter.

UkifuneGO!GO!718836rank/position

GO!GO!7188’s “Ukifune” was released as a single in 2002 and was also included on the 2003 album “Tategami.” The nuanced vocals and overlapping timbres create a distinctly Japanese atmosphere, conveying a unique sense of power and floatiness.

Because each instrument resounds so boldly, the vocals play a key role in shaping the overall mood, making it important to focus on momentum during performance.

The clear structure—driving the rhythm strongly and strumming simple yet powerful chords—also makes it perfect for practice.

A charm for smilesSHISHAMO37rank/position

SHISHAMO is a three-piece rock band whose name was chosen because, while it looks cool written in kanji, it sounds cute when spoken.

Their song “Egao no Omajina i,” included on their 6th single “BYE BYE,” was used as the theme song for the TV program “Mezamashi Doyoubi” from April 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018.

Its message—don’t wait for something to happen; take action yourself—fits perfectly with morning, the start of a new day.

It’s a refreshing rock tune with a driving ensemble that lifts your spirits.

juvenileamazarashi38rank/position

Are you good at English? You don’t hear the word “juvenile” very often, do you? It means “adolescence.” Would it be acceptable as one interpretation to take the lyrics as saying, “Even when nothing goes right and you keep getting betrayed, those experiences are, to some extent, necessary for growth as a person”? The chorus, which suggests that life has only just begun, also makes it a compelling anthem that cheers on young people!

NOW ON AIRakai kouen39rank/position

A song whose lyrics delicately depict everyday happenings and emotions leaves a strong impression.

The uptempo guitar riffs and expansive vocals create a pleasant resonance.

Included on the album “Mouretsu Rhythmic,” it was released in September 2014.

The song tells of how music and radio stay close to us during difficult times in life, giving courage and comfort.

It also portrays the hardships of living in modern society, such as the feeling of comparing oneself to people who keep posting happy-looking photos on social media.

It’s a recommended track for those who want to forget daily stress and spend the day with a positive mindset.

GO! GO! MANIACHōkago Tī Taimu40rank/position

It’s the opening theme song of the anime K-On!! (Season 2), a popular track performed in the show by the band “Ho-kago Tea Time.” It’s characterized by an ultra-fast tempo over 250 BPM and lyrics packed with information.

I love K-On!! too and sing it at karaoke, but GO! GO! MANIAC is impossible to sing with just knowledge from listening…! First-timers will probably be like “?” just from hearing it.

For starters, the tempo is so fast you can’t tell what they’re saying, bits of English pop up here and there, it’s hard to tell where the melody phrases are cut, and a brand-new melody appears right at the very end—these are the main things to watch out for.

I think you’ll get a bit more used to it if you listen while looking at the lyrics from the beginning.
