ultra soulB’z

B’z / ultra soul

Ultra Soul is a rock tune packed with techno and Latin elements that you’ll want to blast in the summer! Although it was released in 2001, you still hear it all the time at elementary school sports days, right? As relay race BGM or a dance track, most elementary school students have probably heard it at least once.

Used as the theme song for the World Aquatics Championships and as a walk-up song for baseball players, this track is an anthem filled with a fiery, motivational message.

It’s the perfect song to fire you up when you want to give it your all!
