Take it Back!!MY FIRST STORY
A song from the first album “MY FIRST STORY.” It’s a staple that gets the whole venue hyped, with moments like bringing fans up on stage to sing.
The instrumental sound from the former band members feels fresh, and Hiro’s vocals convey a youthful energy in this track.
Tetsukaze_Sharpen UpNUMBER GIRL
Number Girl is the band formed in Fukuoka by Shutoku Mukai, who would later go on to form ZAZEN BOYS.
Their look gives off the vibe of unremarkable office workers (no offense), but in live performances they deliver vocals that are loose yet sonically dense.
terrorNeru
It’s a very catchy, upbeat-sounding track, but the lyrics are filled with negative words.
It’s a song by Neru—also known for “Lost One’s Weeping”—released in 2014.
I imagine many students and young listeners can relate to it.
It’s a message song that makes you want to face the parts of yourself that aren’t so great.
TAKE MESCHOOL DAZE
A five-member girls’ group that appeared on Yuji Miyake’s Ikasu Band Tengoku.
Their selling point is songs rooted in rhythm and blues, performed with a rock ’n’ roll flair.
Featuring twin guitars and the mature allure of vocalist Otani, “TAKE ME” is also one of their signature tracks.
The universe in the palm of your handSHISHAMO
You might think it’s a song complaining about cell phones, but in the second half it turns into a bittersweet love song.
Many people have probably experienced things like being unable to delete a phone number or throw away mementos, even though they broke up because they thought they didn’t love their partner anymore.
This song is meant to comfort people in that situation.

Theme MustacheTakeshi Inomata & Sound L.T.D
This is a famous piece by jazz drummer Takeshi Inomata—born in Hyogo Prefecture and still active today as the head of a drum academy—performed as a duo.
With its eccentric tonal colors and frequent key changes, the composition delivers a strongly trippy jazz experience.
The lively keyboard, propelled by Inomata’s outstanding shuffle drumming, elevates the music to a work that will be remembered in the annals of Japanese music.
TequilaThe Champs
A track released in 1958 by the Los Angeles rock band The Champs.
It was composed by saxophone player Danny Flores.
Featuring a melody led by a horn section that everyone knows, it’s an instrumental track whose only lyric is “Tequila!”
