Rekishi’s Greatest and Most Popular Songs (41–50)

From Hunting to Rice Cultivation feat. Ashigaru-senseirekishi

Rekishi turns all kinds of history and historical figures into songs.

Their track “From Hunting to Rice Cultivation feat.

Ashigaru Sensei” is one of Rekishi’s signature numbers, famous at live shows for the audience waving rice stalks in the air.

The featured Ashigaru Sensei is Seiko Ito, also known as a pioneer of rap in Japan.

As the title suggests, the song—blending rap—depicts the transition from an era of hunting to one centered on rice cultivation.

The composition is excellent, and it’s sure to be enlightening—maybe even educational, too!

Rekishi’s Greatest and Popular Songs (51–60)

Elektrimi feat. Anmitsu-himerekishi

A track that captivates with its unique sound and hard-hitting lyrics! Inspired by the Edo-period inventor Gennai Hiraga, it sings about a love that crackles like electricity.

Released digitally in July 2024, the song showcases Rekishi’s signature worldview that fuses history with the present.

The feature by Kyoko Koizumi is also a hot topic.

Its Latin-electro rhythm makes it perfect for summer.

Highly recommended for those who love inventive music that combines humor-packed lyrics with historical elements.

SUPER BUTTER DOG – Macken LOrekishi

A song by Rekishi from the band SUPER BUTTER DOG, where he previously played keyboards.

It’s a track with a cool guitar riff.

An irresistibly groovy tune that makes you want to bounce along.

I don’t really get the lyrics’ meaning, but it weirdly sticks in your head, haha.

Yeah, let’s go to Lexyland.rekishi

Let's go to Rexyland feat. MC Descendant & MC Four Heavenly Kings
Yeah, let's go to Lexyland.rekishi

It’s probably—well, definitely—a parody of a certain theme park’s parade song.

The intro is almost exactly the same.

I’m curious whether the original creators won’t complain about it being this close.

The guest is Scha Dara Parr.

Their music and rap go really well together with this artist.
