This is a song with the strength to push forward as yourself, even without the understanding of those around you.
A track by syudou themed around a self-declaration that refuses to conform.
Blending self-assertion and humor, it lands as a dark yet upbeat, combative pop tune.
The raw defiance is irresistible! Released in May 2023, it stands as a symbol of the album “Rokotsu” (Blunt/Overt), which is packed with his desire for vocal expression.
I especially recommend this piece for those moments when you feel swayed by others’ opinions or want to live by wielding your individuality as a weapon.

This track exudes a suffocating tension, as if you were trapped in a labyrinth with no exit.
Released digitally in November 2022, it was used as the ending theme for episode 5 of the TV anime Chainsaw Man.
It brilliantly captures the story’s depiction of a hotel from which there’s no escape and the characters’ surging impulses.
The sound, which marries an eerie mood with explosive energy, pulls you in no matter how many times you listen.
Syudou’s own near-screamed vocals are irresistibly cool, too.
It’s also included on the album “Rokotsu,” and I highly recommend it for those moments when you want to push back against an unreasonable situation.

Released in July 2021 as syudou’s first anime tie-in, it served as the opening for the TV anime “Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy.” Riding a driving rock sound, the lyrics rapid-fire through self-loathing, defiance, and a reckless resolve.
The chorus explodes with catchy impact while retaining its dark venom—pure exhilaration.
Also included on the later album “Rokotsu,” the song ignites frenzy in live shows as well.
It’s perfect for anyone who wants a fierce push on the back when facing a thrilling, self-testing challenge.

It’s used as the opening theme for the TV anime “Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy Season 2.” The lyrics are deeply moving, as they seem to overlap the protagonists’ growth continuing from the previous theme song with the artist’s own journey.
With the added power of the band sound, it brims with energy that pushes forward even amid darkness.
It’s a perfect track for moments when you want to feel the heat that could light up a live show’s climax or when you need to steel your heart.

It’s the kind of song with the power to whip a venue into a frenzy near the end of a live set, so it’s highly recommended when you want to boost your mood all at once.
