B BLUEBOØWY
A signature song released in 1986 by the legendary band BOØWY, who blazed through Japan’s rock scene in the 1980s, this track showcases a lively beat and edgy, straight-ahead groove.
Centered on the theme of “blue,” which evokes the darkness of a lonely night and a premonition of flight, Kyosuke Himuro’s lyric world blends exquisitely with Tomoyasu Hotei’s sharp guitar work.
Included on the album BEAT EMOTION, it was also used as an insert song in the film 19 Nineteen.
Its enduring appeal is evident in the fact that it’s still used as the opening for the variety show Banana Sand.
For Maji, a mixed martial artist born in 2003, the song’s overwhelming presence and uniqueness make it an ideal track to heighten fighting spirit during his entrance to the ring.
Forever Young feat. UVERworldAK-69
Kai Asakura is a mixed martial artist who, after competing in THE OUTSIDER, joined RIZIN in 2017 and has shown strong performances, including capturing the RIZIN Bantamweight Championship as the third titleholder.

Featuring satirical lyrics themed around diesel cars, the song strikingly portrays environmental issues and urban traffic congestion with a distinctive sense of humor.
It’s characterized by Group Tamashii’s punk-rock style and Sadao Abe’s powerful vocals.
