The new song by Utsukubi Gokumon Doukoukai in collaboration with New Japan Pro-Wrestling has been chosen as the official BOSJ theme song!
Uchikubi Gokumon Doukoukai's new song "WAZA" has been chosen as the official theme song for "Sekichu Presents BEST OF THE SUPER Jr.32," New Japan Pro-Wrestling's annual big junior heavyweight event, which begins on Saturday, May 10th.
In addition, this song has been chosen as the fighting music for TV Asahi's "World Pro Wrestling" in June and July.
This song, written specifically for the tournament, is a unique and unprecedented pro-wrestling tribute song that is in keeping with Uchi-kubi-Gokumon-Doukoukai's long-standing connection to professional wrestling, with the names of numerous pro-wrestling moves shouted at the top of their lungs over a metal sound.
El Desperado, YOH, and Hiromu Takahashi, all members of New Japan Pro-Wrestling, participated in the recording of this work as guest chorus members. The voices of these famous wrestlers are added to the work, creating a finished product that seems to capture the excitement of being in the ring.
Be sure to check out the songs, which will have a strong impact and further heighten the excitement of the tournament.

[Utsukubigokumon Club Profile]
Formed in 2004. A three-piece band consisting of Atsushi Osawa (guitar/vocals), Asuka Kawamoto (drums/vocals), and junko (bass/vocals). A rare style with a male guitarist, a female rhythm section, and a mixed vocal ensemble with male and female vocalists taking turns singing. Musically, the sound is deep bass-oriented with 7-string guitars and 5-string basses, but the lyrics are full of everyday topics about food and health, creating a huge gap. Due to their unique stance, they call their music genre "loud rock for everyday life." They were also one of the first in the industry to use a VJ to display lyrics during live performances, and the VJ role is handled by an employee of their agency, which is also an unusual arrangement that enhances their unique style. They have firmly established their position as a unique band in every aspect.
Despite the band's name, their fan base is wide, with people of all ages and genders, and they have written songs for everything from sports drink commercials to anime theme songs and children's programs, and they have collaborated with everything from professional wrestlers to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, so they know exactly what they want. They are also very active as a live band, having toured numerous times and sold out the Nippon Budokan in 2018, and their 20th anniversary tour in 2024 was a huge success, attracting 10,000 people to the final show. They have become well-known as a regular band at famous festivals in Japan, and recently they have begun to expand overseas.
