KANKERi!

Otowa Ponsuke presents KANKERI, a high speed and heavy metal track inspired by the Japanese game of can kicking.

Set in a park at sunset, the song captures every moment of hiding, chasing, finding, escaping, and sprinting toward the can with all your strength. It turns those split second mind games and bursts of tension into a rush of fast and explosive sound.

The arrangement is driven by overwhelming speed and power, with twin guitars delivering virtuosic fast solos, slap bass, melodic classical piano, and rapidly pounding drums crashing into each other. The vocals push forward without pause, almost like a live commentator calling out a fierce battle in real time.

Borrowing the name of a simple game, the song amplifies the pride, determination, strategy, reversal, and triumph hidden inside it to the extreme. Pop energy, danger, humor, and fierce intensity all run together, creating a powerful track that feels unmistakably like Otowa Ponsuke.
