His organized event called "TOKIO SHAMAN" has been a huge trend; Not only the musical culture, but the identity of the event has been spreading all over Japan.
His style of music references many elements of progressive & alternative rock, video game soundtracks, anime soundtracks, EDM, and hip hop.
The merge with hip hop led to the creation of a new art form, and his soundscape keeps on evolving day by day. On August 11, 2021, he released his new EP "RYO". And more is yet to come.

それ探す旅 BPM 命 Loop
From どこから来たん

From 月 海 空 肛門
どこでも腹減るから米食う
From イエス、仏陀、陽の神
なんでもいい 俺は俺を学ぶ

The lyrics of Shaka Bose's song "Alpha" feature a mix of Japanese and English phrases that are reflective of the artist's eclectic style. The chorus repeats the lines "From どこなんだろう それ探す旅 BPM 命 Loop From どこから来たん 知らんけど 今666大ブーム From 月 海 空 肛門 どこでも腹減るから米食う From イエス、仏陀、陽の神 なんでもいい 俺は俺を学ぶ," which can be translated to mean "From where am I searching? Looking for it on my journey, BPM, life, loop. From where did I come? Don't know, but it's the big 666 boom. From the moon, sea, sky, anus, I eat rice everywhere because I get hungry. Jesus, Buddha, the sun god, anything is good, I learn about myself."
The verses introduce additional themes such as the desire for a new civilization, brainwashing tactics, smoking weed, and flexing one's destiny. The first verse says "Atmosphere princess, everyone dreams it. This is warming up. How many civilizations have not been punished? Sweet tag, brainwashing system O-part. Smoke weed, and dance together. Skirt flipping, my verse. Come on, TOKIOSHAMAN if the days are boring. Flexing, destiny's dice." The second verse repeats the lines "I don't know where it's made. Today, I won't stay. I have a headache, I want to do more. Frisbee business. Today, I won't stay. I have a headache, I want to do more. I don't know where it's made. Today, I won't stay. I have a headache, I want to do more. Frisbee business. Today, I won't stay. I have a headache, I want to do more. I don't know where it's made."
Overall, the lyrics of "Alpha" are open to interpretation but seem to center around the idea of searching for meaning and discovery in life. The use of both Japanese and English phrases also adds to the theme of exploration and discovery.
