HOUND DOG - ハウンド ドッグ「ROCKS」- #1 NARUTO OPENING

Hound Dog is a Japanese rock band formed in 1976 that is centered around Kohei Otomo. Examples of popular songs include "ff (Fortissimo)" (1985) (Japanese: 「ff（フォルティシモ）」, Hepburn: "ff (Forutishimo)"), "Only Love" (1988) and "BRIDGE~When Crossing the Bridge~" (1992) (Japanese: 「BRIDGE〜あの橋をわたるとき〜」, Hepburn: "BRIDGE~ano hashi wo wataru toki~"). During the second half of the 1980s, the band boasted a tremendous effort of touring Japan with a series of live performances. In the late 1990s, they became less active and in 2005 lead vocalist Otomo began to express interest in pursuing a solo career. This ultimately developed into a lawsuit throwing the band into a state of confusion. As of 2018, Otomo is the only official member left in the band.

In the United States, Hound Dog are best known for the single "R★O★C★K★S", one of the opening themes to the Naruto anime.


Lyric :
COME ON!

Owareru youni isoi de iru
Kawai ta mune ga kari tateru no sa
Hito kiwa tsuyoku kagayaku hoshi wa
Ima mo tooku ni aru
Ushinatte yuku motome nagara
Ubawa rete yuku atae nagara
Dare no tame de naku dare no mono de naku
Ore tachi no ima ga

Omoi kasane yume o kasane hibi o kasane
Ase ni mamire namida korae chi o tagi rase

Tatakau koto mo aishi au koto mo
Haruka hikari no ON THE WAY
Ura kitte kita shin ji nagara
Kitsuke te kita inori nagara
Dare no koto de naku dare no sei de naku
Ore tachi no ima wo
Itami hodoki kokoro hodoki kage o hodoki
Iki o tsunete hashiri nukero yami o saite
Kana shimu koto mo yume o miru koto mo
Owari wa shinai ON THE WAY

Omoi kasane yume o kasane hibi o kasane
Ase ni mamire namida korae chi o tagi rase

I wanna ROCKS
Mune ni ROCKS
