Their music highlights the gritty rawness and warmth that are hallmarks of punk, captivating fans.
They also emphasize a DIY mindset—successfully organizing their own events that bring together young bands—keeping them at the center of conversation in the melodic-core scene.
If you love punk and melodic-core, they’re a must-check: a live act whose sense of unity will crank up your excitement.
Rock The NationDED CHAPLIN
Featuring a lineup of legendary figures whose names are etched into Japan’s heavy metal and hard rock scene, the short-lived band Dead Chaplin kept up a high pace of activity, releasing an album a year, yet disbanded after about three years.
Formed in 1989 as a band that grew out of a solo project by vocalist Minoru Niihara—renowned worldwide as the frontman of Loudness—the original members were guitarist Yukihiro “Chachamaru” Fujimura, bassist Toshimi Nagai, and drummer Kozo Suganuma.
Beyond Niihara’s astonishing vocal performance, the band’s ensemble—driven by the technical prowess of these seasoned musicians—was truly world-class.
Sadly, they never achieved commercial success and remain a hidden gem known to the initiated.
If you come across their albums secondhand, be sure to pick them up!
Los LobosDragon Ash
Dragon Ash is a rock band that champions a “mixture rock” sound.
Up to now, they’ve released songs centered on the fusion of hip-hop and rock, but their ninth album, Rio de Emocion, which includes this track, and the following tenth album, INDEPENDIENTE, are particularly infused with strong Latin flavors.
Among them, this lead track from the album stands out as a fiery piece of Latin rock, featuring an acoustic guitar-driven sound and a relentless flurry of tight snare rhythms.

The Old Dog’s WhistleEGO-WRAPPIN’
This soothing song by EGO-WRAPPIN’ showcases their refined melodies and gentle vocals, rooted in a bossa nova-inspired aesthetic.
Its smooth progression creates a subtly downcast mood, making it a perfect listen for September.
Lost WorldELLEGARDEN
The song “Lost World,” included on the 3rd album Pepperoni Quattro.
It opens with an ear-catching guitar riff and moves into an arrangement with a driving, brisk beat that really boosts your energy.
While the overall tempo is fast, the melody is relatively relaxed and the vocal range isn’t very wide, so it’s easier to sing than you might imagine.
There’s an English section partway through, but most of the lyrics are in Japanese, which also makes it easier to tackle.
It’s a rock tune I highly recommend choosing for karaoke.
Lost In TokyoEMI MARIA
EMI MARIA is an R&B singer with Papua New Guinean heritage.
From the perspective of vocal anatomy, Black music isn’t generally considered a genre that suits most Japanese singers, but with her international background, she boasts remarkably strong vocal ability.
Among her works, the R&B classic I’d like to recommend is Lost In Tokyo.
It’s crafted into a distinctive R&B track that incorporates the current trend of 1980s synth-pop.
Lonely Night SkyEasy Pop
“Lonely Night Sky” is a danceable track by Easy Pop, the music production unit led by VOCALOID producer BETTI.
The VOCALOIDs used are Megurine Luka and GUMI, and both parts may be relatively easier for female vocalists to sing.
For male singers, lowering the melody by one octave is recommended.
With its stylish, urban sound, it also seems perfect for cooling down a bit during a late-night karaoke session!
