YOKAZE by the three-member hip-hop group Hentai Shinshi Club.
This song, with its wonderful lyrics about believing in your own path and forging ahead, has often been used for moving videos on TikTok.
In particular, MC WILYWNKA has an arresting voice and has drawn attention since the BAZOOKA!!! High School RAP Championship days.
Despite their somewhat unusual group name, their songs—imbued with a straightforward and pure worldview—are the kind that make your heart burn when you listen.

OZworld, who hails from Okinawa, is a rapper gaining attention among young people on platforms like TikTok.
His track “NINOKUNI feat.

Featuring Tsuwaki, an artist who, like OZworld, exudes strong charisma, the song has spread through lyric videos and other posts on social media and has been growing in popularity.
In particular, OZworld’s appeal lies not only in his rapping but also in his pure singing ability and how easy his vocals are to listen to.
Highly recommended for hip-hop beginners!
Travolta Custom ft. Teflon Hagane (prod. BACHLOGIC)KennyDoes, fanku, KZ, KBD, te-kuemu, KOPERU, peko, R-shitei
A track born from a gathering of big names in the Japanese rap scene, “Travolta Custom ft.
Hagane-da Teflon (prod.
BACHLOGIC).” This song was released with an incredible lineup—KennyDoes, Funk, KZ, KBD, Tkm, KOPERU, peko, and R-Shitei—and the way each MC’s individuality clashes and intertwines in the progression is guaranteed to get you hyped.
With R-Shitei, whose recognition now extends beyond hip-hop to general music fans, the track is likely to resonate even with more casual hip-hop listeners.

Awich, a Japanese female rapper who’s been drawing a lot of attention, has a track called “GILA GILA feat.
JP THE WAVY, YZERR (Prod.
Chaki Zulu)” that went viral on TikTok thanks to its powerful live performance footage.
Her emotionally charged punchlines—so strong you wouldn’t believe they’re delivered by a woman—are irresistibly cool.
The track also features JP THE WAVY, famous for “Cho Wavy De Gomenne,” and YZERR, who made his name in the High School RAP Championship.
Their thrilling back-and-forth with Awich is absolutely electrifying!
I Got The BagNBA YoungBoy
“I Got The Bag” by YoungBoy Never Broke Again, better known as NBA YoungBoy.
This track, featured on his 80-plus-minute epic 2022 album “The Last Slimeto,” is also a hit on TikTok.
His rap, with its distinctive flow, becomes more and more addictive the more you listen.
Another part of his appeal is his masterful sense of dynamics.
There isn’t a particularly catchy vocal line throughout, yet for some reason you can relax and listen all the way to the end.
Why not give his rap a try and experience it for yourself?

A standout track that radiates a steely resolve to live as a rapper, “Crayon.” It’s a collaboration between rapper Fuji Taito and beatmaker ZOT on the WAVE.
ZOT on the WAVE specializes in trap and has a background as a former R&B singer, giving him a sensibility that sets him apart from other beatmakers.
The beats shaped by that sensibility are addictive—once you hear them, they linger vividly in your ears.
It’s also a song where Fuji Taito’s razor-sharp rapping runs freely across the track, making it a must-listen.
