CarnivalKetsumeishi
Carnival is a fun, upbeat track with a samba-like rhythm that’s quintessentially Ketsumeishi.
Released as a single in 2007, it seems to be widely used by professional baseball players as a song to pump themselves up.
Its fast, wave-riding flow and driving beat are cool and exciting! With rapid-fire delivery that lets you feel the joy of the rhythm, it’s perfect not only for hyping up live shows but also for creating a fun, everyone-together vibe at karaoke.
The melody is easy to sing, making it a top recommendation for anyone who wants to try a fast-paced vocal style!
Red HotELLEGARDEN
ELLEGARDEN’s high-speed pop-punk track “Red Hot” is included on their 2005 album RIOT ON THE GRILL.
This piece fuses exhilarating, fast-paced guitar riffs with a chorus melody that strikes the heart, creating a distinctive masterpiece where wistfulness and energy coexist.
The lyrics, steeped in Takeshi Hosomi’s unique worldview, depict the growth and setbacks of a protagonist who seems fragile at first glance.
Riding an exhilarating beat and hitting you right in the chest, the song distills the very appeal of pop punk.
It’s a great one to try at karaoke, and a perfect companion for days when you’re feeling energized!
What? (feat. C.O.S.A.)¥ellow bucks
Yellow Bucks, also known for winning an audition show, teamed up with rapper C.O.S.A.
on the track “What? (feat.
C.O.S.A.).” It’s a fiery song where the two rap about their way of life and their principles.
The high-speed flow alone is thrilling, and the energy keeps rising.
It’s also compelling how they trade the mic in fine-grained relays within the flow and keep time with a distinctive sense of tempo.
I’m in ChargeTOKONA-X
TOKONA-X, the legendary rapper who represents Nagoya.
He passed away at the young age of 26, but the classic tracks and stories he left behind are still talked about today.
In the early 2000s, many Japanese rappers favored a mainstream style of laid-back flows with straightforward rhymes.
In contrast, TOKONA-X showcased double-time rapping on certain tracks.
Among his works, the one I especially recommend is “I’m in Charge.” With its insanely fiery vibes, a flow considered difficult even by today’s standards, and impeccably crafted rhymes, it’s not just about the speed—across the board, this might well be one of the best entries in Japanese hip-hop.

Former kiLLa member and current YENTOWN member kZm is known for his hardcore style, and the dark world he creates consistently draws attention in the scene.
Here’s “27CLUB feat.
LEX,” a collaboration between kZm and LEX, one of the most talked-about rappers in today’s hip-hop scene.
kZm’s verse is pretty fast, but LEX’s rapid-fire verse is especially impressive—definitely give it a listen.
Premonitory RaidMakishimamu Za Horumon
This track explodes with a raw sound packed with social critique and the band’s convictions.
It questions the supremacy of technical virtuosity and challenges a sincere approach to music, delivering a powerful message through Maximum the Hormone’s uniquely distinctive musical style.
Daisuke-han’s roaring shouts and Nao’s clear vocals create a perfect contrast.
Released in July 2013 as the title track of the album “Yoshu Fukushu,” it also drew attention for its music video directed by Hitoshi Ohne, known for the film “Moteki.” Highly recommended for those who want to reflect on the essence and meaning of music, or simply surrender to an energetic sound.

A rapid-fire barrage of words that breaks the sound barrier—that’s hide’s “D.O.D.

Beyond the frenzy of speed, the sharp word choice that showcases hide’s keen sensibility is etched into your mind.
Since its release, it has retained its un-faded aggression over time and continues to captivate countless fans.
