SHANK Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

A three-piece rock band formed in Nagasaki in 2004.

The origin of the band’s name comes from when they initially played ska-punk and called themselves “SKANK” (SKA + PUNK), but drummer Yuki Ikemoto misread it as “SHANK,” and the name stuck.

Here’s a ranking of some of their most emotional and popular songs!

Every day is rock ’n’ roll; I think they’re keeping it going for themselves, which ends up being for everyone.

Yeah, I felt that the image of their sound really showcases their great taste.

Doing something every day might start off well, but keeping it up to the end is the hard part, isn’t it?

Knockin’ on the doorSHANK9rank/position

Featured on the 2012 single “Wake me up when night falls again,” this track is quintessential SHANK, weaving in phrases from the Nagasaki children’s song “Denderaryu.” Sung in English, it conveys both anxiety about the unknown and a resolve to push forward, investing hope in the simple act of knocking on a door.

It was re-recorded in 2018 for the mini-album “WANDERSOUL,” evolving into a more refined sound.

In live shows, the sing-along to “Denderaryu” creates an electrifying moment that unites the crowd.

It’s a perfect pick for anyone craving high-velocity melodic hardcore that fuses hometown pride with the universal energy of rock.

This song is the third track on the album “BAiTFiSH Attitude.” I have a personal theory that the third track on an album is always a masterpiece, and this song fits that pattern perfectly.

It’s a track where you can feel a gentle touch in the melody of the chorus.

This track, notable for its metallic riff, is included on the 2015 mini-album “SHANK OF THE MORNING.” It’s aggressive and cool from start to finish.

The two bars right before the guitar solo are especially a must-hear!

Among SHANK’s songs, this is a hidden gem and a fan favorite.

It’s a relaxed ballad, and even though all the lyrics are in English, you can still feel something burning and powerful coming through.

The actual meaning of the lyrics is both bittersweet and passionate, so be sure to look it up.

Since the title fit so well, I thought it might actually work out, and the band and synth matched nicely—it felt good.

I figured that after steady refinement, it would become that original sound.

The vocals were also strong and sounded good.

An exhilarating punk rock sound has descended! They’re doing a great job as a three-piece—that’s the impression I get.

Their signature sound, brimming with the potential to make you think “Don’t underestimate the Japanese,” really shines.

It’s a track that makes you excited for what’s next.

I definitely want to catch them live.
