A band number that sends the energy through the roof! Hype male-vocal tracks (1–10)
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Golden Bomber
A dynamic track by Golden Bomber that expresses the ache and regret of heartbreak set to a catchy, kayōkyoku-style melody.
While retaining elements of visual kei, the song—shaped by influences from 1970s kayōkyoku and Eurobeat—comically portrays a man’s lingering attachment.
Released as a single in October 2009, it was also featured in a commercial tie-in for House Foods’ “Megashaki.” The group performed at NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen for four consecutive years from 2012 to 2015, and the song topped the Oricon Weekly Karaoke Rankings for 51 straight weeks.
It’s a tune that lifts your spirits with refreshing energy and humor, making your body move almost involuntarily when you’re feeling down or need a change of pace.
FLY AGAINMAN WITH A MISSION
A signature song by MAN WITH A MISSION that fuses an energetic rock sound with a catchy melody.
It was included on their album “MAN WITH A MISSION,” released in June 2011, and was used as the theme song for AbemaTV’s “Exclusive Live Broadcast! The Day the Kameda Family Makes a Grand Comeback! Tomoki vs.
Medina WBC World Super Bantamweight Interim Title Match.” Its exhilarating, fast-paced sound is perfect for times when you want to get pumped up—first thing in the morning, during gym workouts, or before a sports match—and it resonates as an uplifting anthem that gives courage and hope.
Spurt syndromerNEW!10-FEET
This song, released in October 2025 by 10-FEET, a three-piece rock band from Kyoto, was written as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray.
Crafted with the image of characters stepping into battle, the track features exhilarating, fast-paced guitar riffs and a dynamic arrangement that plays with tension and release.
The lyrics express—through music—the mental strength and sharpened focus needed to surpass one’s own training records, resonating with anyone sprinting full-speed toward their goals.
It’s a fiery rock tune highly recommended for those who continue to take on new challenges.

Walking with youNovelbright
Novelbright captivates with their fast-paced band sound and crystal-clear high-tone vocals.
Originally included on the October 2018 mini-album “SKYWALK,” the song was later featured as an insert track on AbemaTV’s “Koisuru Weekend Homestay 2020 Spring.” It’s imbued with a wish to walk into the future together with a loved one.
With its positive message and powerful melody, it’s sure to lift your spirits.
From the chorus-first opening to the intro’s memorable guitar riff built around the vocal melody, the straightforward rock arrangement makes it perfect for a quick mood reset.
It’s an ideal cheer-up song for when you’re feeling down or need an energy boost.
MONSTER DANCEKEYTALK
A song by the rock band KEYTALK, marked by razor-sharp guitar riffs and high-energy beats.
Its catchy melody and addictive sound naturally sweep listeners into a dance-fueled whirlwind.
2014年10月にリリースされ、JVCケンウッドの「PitaSma」ヘッドホンのCMで取り上げられ、テレビ朝日の「musicる TV」のテーマソングとして使用されました。2021年以降はバラエティ番組「新しいカギ」のテーマソングも務め、そのエネルギッシュな雰囲気で番組を盛り上げています。
It’s the perfect track when you’re feeling down or need a motivation boost.
Linda LindaTHE BLUE HEARTS
A powerful debut track by THE BLUE HEARTS that electrified countless young listeners from the 1980s to the ’90s with its exhilarating punk sound and distinctive lyrical world.
The innovative lyrics depict an essential kind of beauty that isn’t confined by appearances or superficial values.
Released in May 1987 as their major-label debut single, it was later included on the album “THE BLUE HEARTS.” It’s a recommended song when you’re feeling down, need a change of pace, or want to fire yourself up.
MatatabiWANIMA
WANIMA, a punk-leaning rock band boasting top-tier popularity.
They have many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is “Matatabi.” It’s the theme song for the anime “Night of the Living Cat,” and, for WANIMA, it’s unusually shaped into a pretty hardcore melody.
In the middle of the track, there’s a shout that’s almost like a scream, and it’s one of the most satisfying moments in the song—so if you sing it at karaoke, it’s sure to get the crowd going.
