Japanese rice is the best in the world.Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai96rank/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 Jihen97rank/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!
Don’t say “lazy”Sakurakou Keionbu98rank/position
Pay attention to the upbeat, easy-to-groove sound of “Don’t say lazy.” With lots of layers, it’s a joy to listen to! The distortion-laden guitar sound boasts overwhelming coolness even among anime songs.
Its sense of speed makes it a top recommendation that’s guaranteed to get you pumped at sports festivals and athletic meets.
Runnerbakufū suranpu99rank/position
The iconic song by Bakufu Slump, capturing the vibrant spirit of youth and the bonds of friendship, continues to move countless hearts even today.
Its lyrics, depicting the everyday life of boys on the track team, vividly portray scenes like talking in the locker room after the rain and gazing at the stars on the field at night, stirring up nostalgic memories.
Since its release in October 1988, it has been featured as insert music on Nippon TV’s “Genius! Takeshi’s Energy Giving TV” and in a Hitachi video commercial, and has since remained a beloved cheer song for high school baseball.
This piece is perfect for times when you face parting from friends, need the courage to take a new step forward, or want to cheer on someone important.
Its powerful melody and passionate message will gently nudge listeners onward.
CQCQKamisama, boku wa kizuite shimatta100rank/position
This song is notable for its cool guitar riff with delay effects.
It’s a track by the four-piece rock band “Kamisama, Boku wa Kizuite Shimatta.” Released in 2017 as their major-label debut single, it served as the theme song for the drama “Anata no Koto wa Sorehodo” (My Husband Won’t Fit/We Love Each Other Too Much).
