Top 10 classic and popular songs by Rekishi
A large Buddha statue in Nararekishi
This uniquely Lex-like track makes history feel close to home, saying, “Even the creation of a grand Great Buddha is a project where everyone joins forces.” Set to an irresistibly groovy funk sound, it paints a human drama unfolding behind the scenes of erecting the symbol of the ancient capital, Nara.
You’ll feel the thrill of looming deadlines, someone quietly reading the room and lending a hand—little moments that make you chuckle and that anyone working in a modern team can’t help but relate to.
It gently resonates with the idea that historic achievements are crystallizations of countless people’s hopes.
Many listeners will find their hearts captured by the warmth that makes distant events from long ago feel dear and familiar.
HIKIBU feat. Awa no Odorikorekishi
The two members of Chatmonchy took part in the track.
Since they’re from Tokushima Prefecture, famous for Awa Odori, they were given the Rekishi name “Awa no Odoriko” (Awa Dancers).
As the title suggests, the song’s theme is Murasaki Shikibu.
The chorus just keeps repeating “Shiki Shiki Bun Bun,” but it really sticks in your head.
Hidden Christian languagerekishi
As the title suggests, it’s finished in a tango style—complete with an unexpected pun.
The guest is RHYMESTER.
Surprisingly, tango and rap go well together.
I’m truly impressed by the sheer range of their talents, even being able to create a tango track.
Rekishi’s Greatest and Popular Songs (11–20)
Ōoku Labyrinth feat. Shakacchirekishi
The song’s theme is the Ōoku (the women’s quarters of Edo Castle).
It’s a dance tune with cool, choppy guitar cutting.
The chorus—actually, most of the song—is in falsetto.
Rekishi’s falsetto is really pleasant.
It’s another danceable track crafted with a disco vibe he’s so good at.
It’s tough in karaoke—pretty much impossible to sing, lol.
GET A NOTErekishi
This track was included on the single “S & G,” released in 2018, and was also used as the ending theme for the anime GeGeGe no Kitaro.
The contrast between its stylish sound and the music video is really nice.
KATOKrekishi
It’s a song that sticks in your head after just one listen! Even though they’re dressed in an extremely over-the-top style, they sing a pretty straightforward song, which shows great taste.
The track itself is really good, so the contrast is wonderful! It’s a parody of Journey’s famous music video.
Historic Brand-New Dayrekishi
Seiko Ito joined as a guest.
Honestly, I didn’t know he could rap.
The lyrics are honestly cheesy, but somehow they just click—that’s Rekishi magic.
From rap to stylish tracks, he really has an incredible range.
