Athletes and J-hip hop

When you look into songs related to the Paralympics and parasports, you’ll notice there are actually quite a lot of hip-hop tracks.

The song introduced here, “Wonder Infinity,” was created as part of NHK’s Tokyo 2020 Paralympics support project of the same name.

Mummy-D from RHYMESTER, Awich, and ZORN each wrote and performed rap verses expressing their thoughts for specific athletes, while New York–based keyboardist BIGYUKI handled the music production.

Knowing that Mummy-D focuses on Italy’s Beatrice Vio, a wheelchair fencing gold medalist; Awich on Canada’s Patrick Anderson, often called the “Michael Jordan of wheelchair basketball”; and ZORN on Shingo Kunieda, who has an overwhelming record in Grand Slam wheelchair tennis, will deepen your understanding of the lyrics penned by the three artists.

It’s a cool hip-hop number that bowls you over with its fiery, insistent energy.

This track is a collaboration between RHYMESTER and FIRE BALL, released in 2006 as RHYMESTER’s ninth single.

My Runway feat. ReiRHYMESTER10rank/position

RHYMESTER – “My Runway feat. Rei” (Music Video)

This number, with its glamorous disco sound and lively rap back-and-forth, will crank up the energy at karaoke.

Its charm lies in a positive message: walk your own path with confidence, free from others’ eyes or titles.

The track is a collaboration between RHYMESTER, leaders of Japan’s hip-hop scene, and Rei, a singer-songwriter who captivates with her guitar work.

It’s included on the album “Open The Window,” released in June 2023.

The powerful vocal work—like a clash of pride between a man and a woman—blasts away everyday stress and is perfect for when you want to regain your confidence.

Be sure to tackle it coolly as a duo.

RHYMESTER「The Choice Is Yours」Official Music Video

RHYMESTER is a three-member hip-hop group that represents Japan.

Their song “The Choice Is Yours” is their 12th single, released in 2012.

It’s a hard-hitting track with lyrics that really pierce through.

When we’re lost or feeling bitter, we tend to blame others or society, right? This song overturns that mindset from the ground up and makes you feel as if the truth is being thrust right in front of you.

The straightforward, overwhelming lyrics are sure to give you strength.

Summer Anthem feat. Masao OnoseRHYMESTER12rank/position

RHYMESTER “Summer Anthem feat. Masao Onose (CRAZY KEN BAND)”

“Summer Anthem feat.

Masao Onose,” which played in the Pocky Chocolate commercial—RHYMESTER’s first-ever CM—was released in 2011 as part of the summer album “Flashback, Natsu.” Built on a surf-rock foundation, the high-energy back-and-forth between Utamaru’s momentum and Mummy-D’s compelling rap is an absolute lift.

The cleverly twisted rhymes are fun, the thumping groove is insanely cool, and Crazy Ken Band’s Masao Onose on guitar is so cool! It’s a summer tune whose passion helps you power through the harshness of the season.

The Sauna

This is a commercial that highlights how Airbnb helps everyone find the perfect place to stay and makes travel even more enjoyable.

It features a trip centered around saunas, and the smiles of people enjoying the sauna convey comfort and fulfillment.

The music that further emphasizes the sense of satisfaction expressed in the visuals is RHYMESTER’s “The Sauna.” The layering of powerful sounds and vocals over a steady rhythm is striking, creating a floating sensation that evokes the sauna itself, as suggested by the song’s title.

RHYMESTER – Wait, I’m About to Get Serious (Audio)

When it comes to RHYMESTER’s songs, I think many people imagine something refreshing.

Their track “Matte ro Ima Kara Honki Dasu” (“Wait, I’m About to Get Serious”) has a melody that, in a good way, doesn’t feel typically RHYMESTER.

The powerful rap and a track reminiscent of Chicano rap leave a strong impression.

It’s a perfect song for the beginning of a workout.
