These days it’s easier than ever to explore different genres, but I think J-rock fans remain as passionate as ever.
For junior high school students who love J-rock, I recommend “Zarameki” by CreepHyp.
The song has a cohesive feel reminiscent of indie rock and dream pop, with gently undulating melodies throughout.
As a cutting-edge J-rock track, it might be the perfect song for trend-savvy junior high students.
THE WAR SONGYamashita Tatsuro
This is a track by Tatsuro Yamashita that sings a prayer for a world without conflict, set to an uplifting blend of funk and soul.
Released in April 1986, it appears on the masterpiece “POCKET MUSIC,” which won the Excellence Album Award at the 28th Japan Record Awards.
While it takes on the heavy theme of “war,” what comes through is not a narrow focus on national interest, but a powerful wish for a future of coexistence for the entire planet.
Rather than sorrow or despair, it radiates a hopeful, vigorous energy that stirs the listener’s heart.
It may prompt us to reflect anew on just how precious our ordinary, peaceful daily lives truly are.
The Greatest PartyTHE BEETHOVEN
A five-member visual-kei band formed in 2013.
Their appeal lies in a powerful sound crafted by seasoned veterans, each with experience in other bands.
Their debut show sold out immediately, and they have since performed live both in Japan and abroad.
The tracks included on Elise are also fan favorites at concerts, where their energetic performances truly shine.
Their frequent new releases, almost every year, showcase a creatively evolving artistry.
Highly recommended for those interested in a fusion of classical aesthetics and intense rock sound.
The Rectitude PulsationSOLITUDE A SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
SOLITUDE A SLEEPLESS NIGHTS is a five-piece melodic metalcore band where passionate shouts intersect with refined melodies.

The Red LineShinichi Atobe
The long-missing, almost urban-legendary debut by Shinichi Atobe.
Released on a legendary Berlin label, it’s nothing short of a miracle of a record! Its sound—where deeply resonant beats melt into dreamlike, aesthetic, romantic melodies—creates a truly one-of-a-kind world.
There are no words, yet you’ll feel a strange buoyancy and calm, as if traveling through the quiet depths of the sea or a city at night.
The word “techno” might make you brace yourself, but if you surrender to this warm sonic world, it will surely wrap your heart in gentle comfort.
THE FINESTSexy Zone
A Sexy Zone classic that thrills with its urban, groovy sound! Released in June 2022 as the lead track of the album “The Highlight,” this song is said to portray a devoted desire to praise a loved one as “the best” and make their very existence shine to the fullest.
The group’s first fully animated music video also became a major talking point.
The members’ refined vocals and funky phrasing accentuate the track’s urban vibe.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to while gazing at a sparkling night view.
THE BUN BENLamipass
Amid the fever of the band boom, many of you were probably blown away in front of your TVs.
Lamipass, who burst onto the scene like a comet on Ikaten in 1989, were a trio that etched such a vivid memory.
Their outlandish performance—singing punk while brandishing a toy shamisen—was impossible to look away from.
The comical song they performed, “THE BUN BEN,” had a strangely addictive quality that stuck in your head after a single listen.
The way they so breezily overturned conventions was downright exhilarating.
They may well have laughed off the fixed notion of what a “girls’ band should be,” with an easy, carefree grin.
