THE GAME SHOP drops their latest single, "FUNKY VIBRATION feat. Kyotaro Katsuragi."
Featured guest Kyotaro Katsuragi is a bassist who rose from the streets of Japan to the global stage. Known worldwide as the "Samurai Bassist of Japan," his street performances and viral videos have gained over 20 million views. He has performed live both in Japan and abroad, created music for commercials and films, joined the project RED ORCA, and in 2025 launched his new band RAW EXPERIENCE.
In this track, THE GAME SHOP's driving electro sound fuses with Katsuragi's powerful bass, creating a funky anthem that will move both the dance floor and streaming listeners alike.
Formed in 2008 by Kimito and McD, who grew up together in the same hometown, THE GAME SHOP is a boundary-pushing electro-rock hybrid that flawlessly bridges the gap between Rock and Bass Music. Born out of a desire to fuse the raw, aggressive energy of live band performances with the heavy, floor-shaking grooves of club music, they have established themselves as a unique force in the global music scene. What sets THE GAME SHOP apart is their unparalleled live flexibility and dual-nature performance style. They seamlessly transition between delivering explosive, raw power in their "Full-Band Set" and heavy, dancefloor-ready vibes in their "DJ Set." This adaptability allows them to dominate any stage, from massive rock festivals to underground bass music clubs. Their high-energy live shows have conquered stages worldwide. Over the years, they have embarked on successful tours across Asia, including Taiwan, and made a major festival appearance in New Caledonia. In Europe, they delivered an unforgettable performance at the Schmoul Festival in France. Most recently, they executed an acclaimed showcase at SXSW 2026 in the US, perfectly proving that their sound deeply resonates with audiences across borders. At home in Japan, they have rocked major domestic festivals such as SUMMER SONIC. Their world-class sound and stage presence have earned them opportunities to share stages with international heavyweights of the electronic rock and bass music scenes, including Pendulum, The Qemists, and Modestep. Earning high praise from overseas curators, THE GAME SHOP signed with the Italian label "Mhodi Music Company" in 2020. Since 2025, the band has made a deliberate return to their roots, operating fully independent. Armed with absolute creative freedom, they are pushing their sonic boundaries further than ever before. Currently equipped with an arsenal of unreleased new tracks that push the fusion of rock and drum & bass to its absolute limits, THE GAME SHOP is gearing up to bring their electrifying sound back to the global stage.
