FANTASISTADragon Ash
A milestone of mixture rock that fuses powerful guitar riffs with a driving beat.
One of Dragon Ash’s signature songs and a staple of their live shows.
The lyrics skillfully weave in English and carry a message that shouts of dreams and hope, making it an anthem that unites the audience.
Released in March 2002 as Dragon Ash’s 11th single, it was also included on the album HARVEST and used as the theme song for Nippon TV’s broadcasts of the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
An energetic number perfect for moments when you want to take on a challenge or fire yourself up.
One Night CarnivalKishidan
The major-label debut from Kishidan, a rock band hailing from Chiba, fuses a fiery heartbeat with a catchy pop melody line.
With their unique style of school uniforms and pompadours, and high-energy tunes packed with passionate messages, they powerfully express the rebellious spirit of youth and a yearning for freedom.
Originally released independently in June 2001, the work sold 80,000 copies, and its major-label edition in May 2002 reached No.
7 on the Oricon chart.
With relatable, down-to-earth lyrics and an exhilarating sound, it’s perfect for when you need a boost or a refreshing change of pace.
together; along with; bothWANIMA
This song by WANIMA, a three-piece band from Kumamoto, bursts with a fast-paced pop-rock sound and a positive message that urges you to keep moving forward.
Its passionate lyrics and exhilarating melody resonate with those facing painful pasts or uncertain futures, giving them the courage to live.
Released in August 2016 as part of the single “JUICE UP!!,” it was also featured in a Nivea Kao 8×4 commercial.
It’s a powerful, encouraging anthem that will surely give you a push when you’re feeling down or need the strength to move ahead.
giftRADWIMPS
RADWIMPS’ new song “Tamamono.” This track quickly gained recognition after being chosen as the theme song for NHK’s morning drama series “Anpan.” It’s a piece that mixes rock and J-pop in classic RADWIMPS fashion, but the chorus is a bit unusual.
In the chorus, there’s a phrase that repeatedly alternates between falsetto and chest voice.
While it doesn’t reach extremely high notes, it’s a perfect song for enjoying the charm of high-register vocals.
The Zero Sense10-FEET
A rock tune that powerfully conveys the determination to keep pursuing a passion and dream for basketball.
Alongside the emotional melodies delivered by 10-FEET, it carefully depicts the bittersweetness of youth and the spirit of taking on challenges.
The characters portrayed through sports mirror those striving toward their goals, overflowing with a charm that invites deep empathy.
Included on the album “COLLINS,” the song was released in December 2022 as the ending theme for the film “THE FIRST SLAM DUNK,” showcasing a new frontier for the band.
When you need the courage to face the obstacles before you, or when you want to keep moving forward without giving up on your dreams, it’s sure to become a powerful anthem of support.
RewriteASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
This song is a powerful cry of the soul, vividly portraying self-denial and rebirth.
The world of sound woven by its heavy guitar riffs and emotional vocals brims with a liberating sense of releasing one’s inner feelings.
The will to overcome conflict and suffering and be reborn into a new self resonates alongside the driving, fast-paced sound.
Released in August 2004, the track was included on the album “Sol-fa” and was also used as the opening theme for season 4 of the anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION’s message-driven rock sound gently encourages those searching for their own path and those striving to move forward amid uncertainty.
A hype-raising band number! Energetic male-vocal tracks (21–30)
THE DAYPorno Graffitti
PornoGraffitti is famous for their high vocal range, and I think “THE DAY” is one of their highest songs, especially at the top end.
The tempo is quite fast too, so if you’re going to sing it, it’ll be tough to keep up unless you really memorize the song first.
Also, vocalist Okano mostly uses chest voice and belts the high notes in his natural voice, but the highest note at the end of the chorus, C#5, is in falsetto.
That switch is so cool, isn’t it? Since the song is up-tempo, if you’re not comfortable with high notes, I recommend lowering the key by one or two steps instead of starting in the original key.
Rather than focusing on pitch at first, start by getting used to the speed! You might get caught up in just getting the notes out, but don’t forget to breathe!
