If you’re looking for the perfect rock song to boost your energy, I recommend “deadlock” by the band Kami-sama, Boku wa Kidzuite Shimatta.

Its up-tempo, fast-paced beat pairs perfectly with the driving guitars, and just listening to it will get you hyped.

The chorus switches to English lyrics, giving it a vibe that feels almost like Western music.

Teenager ForeverKing Gnu

A song by the four-piece crossover band King Gnu that was featured in a commercial.

Its fast shuffle beat and distinctive chord progression are addictive, making it a hard-to-categorize track.

The powerful, message-driven lyrics are delivered through twin vocals—one high, one low—which shifts the song’s atmosphere and draws you into its world.

SixTONES is a standout Johnny’s group that debuted in 2020.

Together with Snow Man, who debuted at the same time, they’re a must-watch duo set to take the scene by storm.

Their songs have a distinctly different vibe from previous Johnny’s groups—impressive, right? The solid beats paired with a snappy melodic line are really cool.

It’s a track that gradually amps up your excitement.
