Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Drawing on over 30 years of experience with guitars and bands since my high school days, I specialize in music-related articles and have handled many feature pieces to date. While my tastes lean toward genres like hard rock and heavy metal since I first picked up the guitar, I make a point of listening to a wide range of styles, both Japanese and Western, on a daily basis. I began working as a freelance writer in 2018. I hold a Web Writing Practical Certification, and in addition to writing, I’m also studying video editing. In my private life, I’m raising an elementary school child and stay active while supporting their extracurriculars, such as parkour and dance.

Little, a member of KICK THE CAN CREW.

Because the crew has many catchy tracks, it can be hard to notice, but Little possesses a high level of skill even within Japan’s hip-hop scene.

A track where you can savor his rapid-fire rapping is “I Love RAP.” It balances a unique flow with fast rap, and in parts of the verse you can hear a flow reminiscent of Shibito.

The punchlines are powerful too, so be sure to check the lyrics.

Dark Side feat. KanZone The Darkness

Rapper ZORN is known for his strikingly realistic life stories and intricately layered rhymes, and he’s now thriving in the mainstream scene.

He previously performed under the name ZONE THE DARKNESS, and back then he released some hard-hitting tracks that differ from his current style.

One work I especially recommend is “Dark Side feat.

Kan.” The rapid-fire rhymes from the very beginning are absolutely incredible, so be sure to check it out.

Dimension Rise feat.OZworld & ¥ELLOW BUCKSiCE KiD

A signature track by Okinawa’s leading rapper OZworld and ¥ellow Bucks, “Dimension Rise feat.

OZworld & ¥ELLOW BUCKS.” Over a deep, minimalist trap beat produced by iCE KiD, OZworld lays down a laid-back, chill verse while ¥ellow Bucks delivers rapid-fire bars, resulting in a highly refined song.

Beyond the fast-paced rap, it’s simply an excellent piece of music—trap fans will almost certainly have it on heavy rotation.

In conclusion

I wondered how many songs are packed with rapid-fire lyrics.

When I did some research, I realized there are more than I expected.

Besides the classic Vocaloid tracks and rap, even pop music often features driving rhythms or sections with very fast elements, which makes the breadth of music really exciting.

It might also be interesting to focus on the contrast between slower and faster parts!
