Runner's High

A living legend in the Japanese hip-hop scene, known for rapping while playing the acoustic guitar. GAKU-MC began his solo career in 1999, marking 26 years of activity this year.
Prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, he took up running, and it has since become a part of his daily routine. Now, he is even invited as a guest runner at full marathons and trail runs.
This latest track draws from his own experiences and insights as a runner, turning them into lyrics that encourage listeners. It's a motivational anthem dedicated to runners across the country, pushing them forward in their battles with themselves.
With a series of new releases planned one per month for three consecutive months starting in August 2025, GAKU-MC continues to run forward not only as a runner but also as an artist. Be sure to keep an eye on his journey.
