Red HotELLEGARDEN
A pop-punk masterpiece packed with youthful restlessness and a sense of speed, released in April 2005! The overall vocal range is fairly narrow, from G3 to G#4, and since all the lyrics are in English, you might worry about pronunciation—but first, focus on learning the song with an emphasis on rhythm.
The tempo is fast, so timing your breaths is also very important.
Singing in English will probably get you more hyped, so it might be good to power through with momentum and emotion! Try keeping the rhythm with your body and tackle it with a strong sense of accent.
Red fractionMELL
A hard-boiled atmosphere and a fierce beat that almost lets you smell the gunpowder.
With that powerful impact, this single—released in June 2006 as MELL’s major-label debut—grabbed the hearts of anime fans.
It was used as the opening theme for the TV anime BLACK LAGOON.
The dark electronic tones and aggressive guitar sound matched the work’s decadent mood perfectly.
MELL’s husky vocals elevate the tension to the absolute limit.
If you listen to it when you need to crank up your energy, it’ll definitely put you in an unbelievably cool frame of mind.
REDGOUACHE
A track that signaled the restart of the Kagerou Project.
Created as the theme song for the film Kagerou Daze -in a day’s-, released in November 2016, this piece features a driving band sound and soaring vocals that ignite listeners’ hearts.
The lyrics, which express the distance and changes that come with a friend growing up through the distinctive metaphor of “their eye color changing,” convey a piercing sense of melancholy alongside the image of a sunset.
It’s a rock tune that rekindles the emotions of those who were once absorbed in the series, hinting at a new expansion of the story.
Left to SurviveLexulty
Based in Fukushima Prefecture, Lexulty is a band that champions instrumental metalcore.
Originally a solo project by Kanryo, they began performing as a three-piece in April 2025.
The following May, they released the EP “Machine” and successfully hosted a self-produced live show in their hometown of Fukushima.
Their sound fuses the weight of metalcore with technical guitar phrases and electronic elements, a world you can experience in tracks like “Gyokuto” and “Mechanism.” Despite having no vocalist, their intense stage presence draws the audience in—likely overturning the static image some may have of instrumental bands.
Recommended for those who love heavy sounds and meticulous performances, and who want to move their bodies to the fullest at live shows.
READY TO ROCKTHE MODS
Electrifying beats and a cry from the soul—this is rock ’n’ roll at its finest! It’s a track by THE MODS, giants of the Hakata Mentai Rock scene, included on the maxi single released in October 2021 to mark their 40th anniversary.
The lyrics brim with indomitable fighting spirit, refusing to yield even in the difficult times overshadowed by the coronavirus, and they’re truly stirring.
It’s a message song whose persuasive power resonates precisely because of their long-standing career.
When you need the courage to face something head-on, this song will give you a powerful push forward.
Frozen Beamichi ni san
A Vocaloid track that combines a driving feel with a distinctive sense of weightlessness.
The guitar doesn’t have any particularly difficult phrases, including the interlude, but be sure to consciously cut the sound cleanly in the accent sections.
The bass gets busier in the chorus, so be careful not to fall behind the rhythm.
The drums are in straight eighths throughout, but a kick pattern that matches the guitar and bass phrases appears in the B section, so you’ll need to focus on keeping time.
Overall it’s simple and recommended for beginner bands, but if you don’t lock in as an ensemble, it can sound disjointed.
Practice while listening to the other parts as well.
Dawn PoemTRiDENT
Released in November 2025 as the lead track from their major first EP “BLUE DAWN,” this song is a rock anthem that fuses TRiDENT’s signature heavy sound with a melodic, forward-looking message.
Nob from MY FIRST STORY handled composition and arrangement.
While portraying the emotions where anxiety and hope intertwine before dawn, it ultimately carries a powerful push that encourages the listener.
It’s a song you’ll want to hear when taking a new step forward.
