Their song Tei to Teition, released on their YouTube channel “A Masso Official Channel,” was created with the image of a Ponkickies-style tune.
The lyrics themed around gravity and the laid-back melody, together with a sprightly beat, create a unique atmosphere.
It’s an addictive pop tune that offers a glimpse into A Masso’s wide-ranging style and sensibility.

Tenhane -1000%-BALLISTIK BOYZ from EXILE TRIBE

A track released in 2019 by BALLISTIK BOYZ from EXILE TRIBE.
Not only the dance and rap, but the fashion and artwork are top-notch—the music video is super stylish.
It’s a fierce, danceable tune from this formidable group who seem poised to dominate the Reiwa era, the kind of song that makes you want to crank it loud on big speakers with the lows thumping.
List Price BluesBEGIN

The lively, rhythmic parts really come through, and the cool, bluesy melody that kicks in partway creates a fresh feeling I’ve never had before.
It puts you in a happy mood when you listen, making it a perfect track for everyone to get excited together.
Ti AmoBENI

BENI covered a song by EXILE.
Even when it’s the same song, it leaves a different impression when sung by a woman.
The lyrics portray a bittersweet love: “We’re together, but I’m not that person’s number one.” I imagine many people will relate to that kind of heartache or be reminded of a past love.
TENOHIRABESTIEM

A single released in 2018 by a girls’ duo that debuted in 2017.
An ear-pleasing number featuring clear, resonant vocals riding over an uptempo, unfolding rhythm and a slightly mellow, melancholic melodic line.
The Tripod QuestionBRAHMAN

BRAHMAN, Japan’s proudly solitary band.
Formed in 1995, they’ve continued to create a singular sound that only BRAHMAN can produce—guitar work steeped in strong folk and ethnic influences, and the unwavering, straight-from-the-gut vocals of TOSHI-LOW as their greatest weapon—delivering music that remains unique and unchanged at its core.
From introspective tracks that turn inward to songs that challenge society, everything is woven with a distinct sensibility that makes you want to revisit their work again and again, discovering new depth each time.
Even as veterans, they keep evolving—and you still can’t take your eyes off them.
