Buzz Songs is the second full-length album by Dragon Ash; released in 1998.

Dragon Ash is a Japanese rap rock group founded in 1996 by Kenji "KJ" Furuya and Sakurai Makoto. They were one of the first groups to popularize hip hop in Japan. Dragon Ash is a member of Mob Squad, which is an affiliation with the bands Source and Endive. Dragon Ash uses the French fleur-de-lis as their band logo/symbol.

Buzz Songs is the first full-length album where Dragon Ash member DJ BOTS can be found supplying scratch and beat samples to several of the songs, before he officially joined in 1999.
