<About the song>

This is a unique and unprecedented pro-wrestling tribute song, in keeping with Uchi-kubi-Gokumon-Doukoukai's long-standing connection to professional wrestling, in which the names of numerous pro-wrestling moves are shouted at full force over a metal sound.

The song was written specifically for New Japan Pro-Wrestling's annual big event for the junior heavyweight division, "Sekichu Presents BEST OF THE SUPER Jr. 32," and has also been chosen as the fighting music for TV Asahi's "World Pro Wrestling" in June and July.

El Desperado, YOH, and Hiromu Takahashi, all members of New Japan Pro-Wrestling, participated in the recording as guest chorus members. The voices of these famous wrestlers are added to the song, creating a finished product that captures the excitement of being in the ring.

[Utsukubigokumon Club Profile]

Formed in 2004. A three-piece band consisting of guitarist/vocalist Atsushi Osawa, drummer/vocalist Asuka Kawamoto, and bassist/vocalist Junko. They have a rare style with a male guitarist, a female rhythm section, and a mixed vocal ensemble with male and female vocalists taking turns singing. As for their musical style, their sound is bass-oriented with 7-string guitars and 5-string basses, but their lyrics are full of everyday topics about food and health, creating a huge gap between the two. Due to their unique stance, they call their music genre "loud rock that is close to everyday life."

They were also one of the first bands in the industry to use VJs to display lyrics during their live shows, and the VJs on stage were staff from their agency, a highly unusual arrangement that further enhanced their unique style. Every element of the band has firmly established their position as a unique band.

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.
