Give me a ShakeMAX1rank/position
Give me a Shake, a masterpiece of Japanese Eurobeat released in 1997.
It’s a famous song by MAX, needless to say, and it also incorporates elements of Black music, which were still rare in Japanese pop at the time.
Despite that, the vocal line is very easy to sing.
While the range is wide—mid1D to hiF—there are few long notes, and the melodic movement is very gentle.
The tempo also has some breathing room, so as long as you keep the groove in mind, it’s a song that will come together quite well.

This commercial highlights the ROOMY’s large storage capacity by showing, in an interview-style video, just how much luggage it can hold.
The interviewees are the members of MAX, and it depicts how, in addition to their personal belongings, they can neatly store a large amount of concert merchandise while still fitting all the members in the car.
The song that further brings out the members’ vibrant expressions is one of MAX’s signature tracks, “Ride on time.” Its lively, dance-influenced sound helps convey a strong sense of excitement through their vocals.

Having raced through their career with Eurobeat, here they offer a song that gently seeps into the heart, with softly layered harmonies and an embracing string arrangement.
Simple words sketch scenes of walking under streetlights with white breath hanging in the air, and a quiet resolve as two people draw close together, evoking the solitude of a winter city interwoven with the desire to be with someone special.
The song was featured in a Nikon commercial and as an ending theme on Nippon TV, and was performed on the year-end Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 1999.
