Rekishi’s Greatest and Popular Songs (21–30)
Let’s ninjarekishi

It’s like, when this person sings a ninja-themed song, it somehow turns stylish.
Normally you’d imagine ninja songs being upbeat and high-energy, but this one feels kind of mellow.
And when Rekishi says “ninja,” for some reason it sounds like a different English word—so strange.
Haniwaniwarekishi

I wondered what it was with that suspicious-sounding tune—turns out it’s about haniwa.
This vibe is addictive.
The slightly eerie atmosphere and the haniwa that look cute when you look closely fit this song perfectly.
Among Rekishi’s tracks that take history as their theme, this one is based on relatively ancient history.

Big Brother, I Need Yourekishi

It sounds like a ballad you might hear in old Western pop music.
At first listen, you can hardly tell whether they’re saying “I need you” or “ani-ja” (older brother)—it’s almost indistinguishable, haha.
The title is a bit of a joke, but the song itself is melodic and romantic.
Play with historyrekishi

A mostly piano-based piece that somehow leaves you feeling a little wistful.
It’s a handy study song for students who need to memorize historical dates.
I’d love to see more tracks themed around things like the 15 Tokugawa shoguns.
It’s a song I especially want high schoolers to hear.
Spoiled Brat Shogunrekishi

As you can guess from the title, it’s a parody of Abarenbo Shogun.
The title sounds silly, but the song itself is notable for its tight, choppy drum work.
Many of their tracks are goofy, yet the technique is top-tier—that’s one of Rekishi’s charms.
Sparkling Samurairekishi

While rooted in the concept of Japanese history, Rekishi’s songs are poppy and catchy, infused with elements from various genres that make them intriguing.
The rhythm has a buoyant, bouncy feel, and the lyrics are unique—altogether a track that’s fun and uplifting.
SHIKIBU feat Awa Dancerrekishi

A track with an impressive growling bass line from the intro and soothing chorus by Awa no Odoriko (Chatmonchy).
The music video features Rekishi dressed as Murasaki Shikibu playing a game of tag through the streets of Kyoto.
You’ll probably spot some familiar locations!
