Shamisen rhythm and Japanese flute (nohkan/ryuteki) start with powerful, confident energy, cutting through the urban night, After the bold opening, the flute turns fragile and distant, expressing doubt and emptiness, and the groove softens, Then the rhythm and bass bring everything back stronger โ€” slap bass and fat punchy kick drive the groove upward, sharp horns and funky sax riffs explode, syncopated wah guitar and crisp snare add edge, The music moves in waves of strength โ†’ fragility โ†’ renewed power, full of dynamic contrast, urban, groovy, with a powerful punch

A venomous Japanese electro-funk track pulsing with crimson heat and twisted desire, The rhythm bitesโ€”driven by distorted shamisen stabs, glitched synths, and sub-heavy 808s, Vocals are sultry, hypnotic, and predatory, wrapping around the listener like silk laced with poison, Inspired by Tokyoโ€™s red-lit underworld, the track seduces with every beat, dragging you into a maze of lust, illusion, and beautiful decay, Fast, tactile, and dangerousโ€”this is not a song, itโ€™s a trap

Very fast tempo, high-energy Japanese fusion, Shamisen with rapid picking creates an exotic surf-rock style riff, taiko drums drive a powerful and danceable festival rhythm, and shakuhachi carries the dramatic melody, Intense, cinematic, and hypnotic with energetic drops, funky pulse, and a wild groove, The atmosphere feels like a female assassin fighting in a dramatic battle scene, sharp, fierce, and unstoppable, Shouts only at key moments: "Ha!", "Sore!", "Yoisho!", "Seiya!" for a festival vibe
