These days, Hamaken is often seen on TV as an actor.
Since he originally started out in a band, many people were probably surprised to find out he’s a great singer.
In fact, he shows off some shouts on “Bakudan Kowai” as well.
The band’s performance is excellent too, so I highly recommend it.

Sung by Aya Hirano, Minori Chihara, and Yuko Goto, the track is set to release in July 2025.
