It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it one of their signature songs.
The lyrics are written to fire you up.
It’s great not only for workouts, but also when you’re struggling with overtime at work or studying for exams.
The melody is extremely powerful too, so it really gives you energy!
I’ll tell you what you don’t know—listen up, SHOW.TOKONA-X
Tokona-X, the legendary rapper representing Aichi.
He passed away from heatstroke at age 26, but among heads he’s still spoken of as a legend.
His appeal lies in a composure that’s hard to believe for someone in their twenties, combined with fiery vibes.
His track “Shirazaa Itte Kikaserya SHOW” is a classic where you can feel those intense vibes the most.
Within Japanese rap it leans old-school, so the rhymes aren’t complex, but the lyrical message is very strong—highly recommended.
Perfect for training, too!

YOUNG HASTLE, affectionately known as “Yanhass.” He’s an MC who’s always working out, so not only the heads but people in the fitness industry probably know him too.

A fun twist is how it switches into trap music midway through.
Don’t give upZARD
It’s a quintessential song that gives courage, rebuilding and encouraging the hearts of athletes when they feel like breaking.
With tight, driving drums and a beautiful melody that resonates perfectly with Japanese ears, it’s a profound masterpiece—and it fits seamlessly in strength-training settings as well.
