HE IS MINEkuriipuhaipe93rank/position
Let’s fire up the crowd with a sound where searing guitar rock and pop sensibilities coexist! This is an early signature song by CreepHyp, the band led by Sekai-kan Ozaki.
It’s a compelling rock number, with an urgent beat and a worldview that portrays raw love and desire that can’t be reduced to pretty words.
Included on the classic album “Odoriba kara Ai wo Komete,” released in September 2010, this track is known for creating an overwhelming sense of unity at live shows through call-and-response with the audience.
Just note that it contains some risqué lyrics, so be careful if you plan to perform it at a school festival!

Among the new generation of Japanese rock bands, Polkadot Stingray is especially popular.
This song is known as one of their signature tracks.
With its cool guitar cutting and the distinctive vocals of Shizuku, it’s a song full of charm.
Blade length: 200,000,000 centimetersMakishimamu Za Horumon95rank/position
Featured as the ending theme and an insert song for episode 3 of Chainsaw Man, this track delivers an intense, tightly packed experience—despite its brief length of roughly 90 seconds—where ferocious shouts collide with exhilarating melodies.
Released as a digital single in October 2022, it was later reused as an insert song in a new version, including previously unreleased sections, for the theatrical film Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc, which premiered in September 2025.
Why not lend an ear to their uniquely blended sound, marked by a striking contrast between stillness and motion?

A perfect song for middle school days when friendships deepen has arrived from Kankaku Piero.
Its familiar melody and heartfelt lyrics resonate with listeners and evoke a sense of nostalgia.
Released in May 2016, this track was chosen as the theme song for the NTV Sunday drama “We’re Millennials.
Got a problem?” Centered on the themes of self-actualization and a commitment to justice, it carries a message to one’s future self.
It’s a song that stays close to moments spent with cherished friends and times when you want to express your gratitude.
Why not add it to your playlist and spend some heartwarming time? Through music, you’re sure to feel those moments when irreplaceable friendships grow even deeper.
Japanese rice is the best in the world.Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai97rank/position
This song is by the three-piece rock band Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai, which drew attention when they announced at their 2018 concert at Nippon Budokan that their bassist, Junko, had reached her 60th birthday.
The band’s concept of “laid-back lyrics that directly express what we feel in everyday life” perfectly fits, and the lyrics are outstanding—something any Japanese person can relate to.
On top of the catchy lyrics, the track features a loud, heavy rock sound, making it a surefire crowd-pleaser at school festivals and cultural festivals.
Ultramarine DaysToukyou Jihen98rank/position
This song by Tokyo Jihen, led by Ringo Sheena, is from a band famous for featuring top-tier artists, but it’s actually a perfect piece to cover.
Of course, it’s a challenging song that won’t be mastered easily, but I believe aiming high brings greater impact.
There are plenty of spotlight moments for the vocalist, so practice thoroughly and let’s make an unforgettable, amazing day!
