Shonen Knife "Twist Barbie" Appearing on their 1993 international album Let's Knife, this song is a supreme example of Shonen Knife's unique blend of bubblegum-punk-power-pop with an attitude. Marvellous, and actually pretty relevant, band, amazing song! comment lyrics, chords, guitar tablature
Luna Sea "Hurt" One of the stand-out tracks on their 1996 album Style, itself a blazing jrock manifesto par excellence, this one showcases Luna Sea's heavier side very well and includes some of the most rock-out guitars they've ever recorded. comment lyrics, chords, guitar tablature
J "Burnout" J, the bass player in Luna Sea, released this solo single in 1997, taken from the album Pyromania, and I just had to sequence it when I heard it since it basically really rocks like crazy, influenced by some American hard rock. comment, chords, guitar tablature -
Violet Vision "Rain Drops" Never again did I really hear of this rather unknown band, but this song, released on an independent label, just had a little something, beside its more direct mass-appeal induced by a generally rockin' arrangement, that I tried to convey into MIDI. comment, chords, guitar tablature -
Laputa "Four Leaf Clover" Goth-tinged, metal-inspired, skillful musicianship ensures Laputa's success with their style of eerie, gloomy, no-holds-barred rock. On their first major label outing Kagerou in 1996, this stands out as being undeniably catchy as well. comment, chords, guitar tablature -
Luna Sea "Storm" The first single to be released from their 1998 album Shine, this tune manages to keep a functional balance between its pop-influenced chorus destined to be sang along and a more rock-out fast-paced verse part, thereby becoming another of their instant classics. comment lyrics, chords, guitar tablature
Siam Shade "Dreams" Essentially, this song is all down to its perfect melodic pop songwriting, but the vigor which eventually sustains it all comes down to Siam Shade's break-neck velocity - they successfully hammer down this pretty tune, a single release from 1998's Siam Shade 5, with a big load of rock energy. comment, chords, guitar tablature -
The Brilliant Green "The Lucky Star ***" The kick-off track on their 2001 album Los Angeles, this guitar-dominated wake-up call to the inclined listener initially just struck me as being so catchy, loaded with that sort of broadband rock energy, that I had to try and render all that into a MIDI file. comment chords, guitar tablature
