Mixture Rock group Dragon Ash will release their upcoming single AMBITIOUS on June 16th.

Dragon Ash are recognised as one of the pioneering groups to popularise the genre of hip-hop within Japan and have also gained international recognition due to the inclusion of the song Shizuka na hibi no kaidan wo as the ending theme for the popular movie "Battle Royale". The group is also known for their diverse sound which has drawn influence from such genres as alternative, hardcore punk and electronica over their musical career.

AMBITIOUS will be Dragon Ash's first release in nearly a year-and-a-half, following their album FREEDOM. The track is expected to be a "dance beat inspired number with interweaved distorted guitar to create a melodic hardcore atmosphere". AMBITIOUS will be used as the theme song for Sky Perfect's coverage of the "2010 FIFA World Cup Festival".
