A must-listen for anyone who wants to savor skillful, high-velocity rap.
BLACK OR WHITEKannonzaka Doppo (CV: Itou Kento)
BLACK OR WHITE was written as part of the music character rap project Hypnosis Mic.
It’s performed by Kento Itou, the voice actor for Doppo Kannonzaka.
Doppo Kannonzaka is characterized as working for a black company, and in the song you can hear both his fed-up state and his determination to make it big from here.
The rapid-fire sections don’t just hype you up—they’re crafted to make you chuckle, too.
Selfishralph
Rapper ralph from Yokohama—pronounced “Ralph.” He became the fourth champion of the popular show “Rap Star Tanjou,” and from there he sprinted up the steps to stardom.
He’s now earning props with his high-level skills and distinctive low register.
Among his works, the one I especially recommend for experiencing his high-speed rap is “Selfish.” It’s not just about going fast; he also shifts his flow to match the track’s progression.
Tyrant IslandSKY-HI
“Tyrant Island” is a work packed with SKY-HI’s rap skills and intellectual allure—he’s also known as the creator of BE:FIRST—and it’s included on his first major-label album, “TRICKSTER.” Although the lyrics deliver a scathing, strong style, the song still feels pop, which is both cool and uplifting.
One hallmark of SKY-HI is how clearly you can understand his rapping, and that remains true even in this ultra-fast track.
It’s a fan favorite; at live shows, pay special attention not only to the unity during the chorus but also to the moments when the rapid-fire delivery kicks into several higher gears.
My WayDef Tech
“My Way,” with its soothing guitar arpeggios and the sublime harmonies of Micro and Shen, is an absolute delight.
It’s a track from Def Tech’s 2005 mini-album that became a long-running hit through word of mouth and radio airplay, and it’s considered a classic.
In the 2020s, it found renewed popularity via social media like TikTok and through THE FIRST TAKE, and it continues to be widely loved.
Though it’s a gentle, enveloping anthem rooted in surf music, the seamless flow of its lyrics is truly beautiful.
In terms of fast passages, Shen’s English part is likely the biggest challenge.
Micro’s melodic flow, packed with words yet still musical, is also outstanding—arguably a quintessential example of a smooth, rapid-fire song.

As the title “Gun Parts” suggests, PEOPLE 1’s track is defined by a momentum like bullets of sound whizzing through the air.
Its brisk yet catchy rhythm grips the listener’s heart, and the tension-charged melody never lets go for a moment.
Every word of the lyrics lands with a powerful message, while the rhythmic delivery makes it easy for many fans to hum along.

It’s fun to tackle at karaoke, and it’s brimming with a charm that makes you want to play it on repeat.
