GET MY LOVE!MAX
This Eurobeat-style track, released in October 1996, is characterized by driving four-on-the-floor beats and dazzling synths.
MAX’s powerful vocals blend perfectly with the dynamic rhythm, gripping listeners from the first moment.
The song was used in a commercial for Casio’s light-seal word processor “Princié” and also served as the image song for InterTEC.
It was included on the album “MAXIMUM” and reached No.
4 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
A club-oriented house remix was produced as well, earning widespread support across audiences.
It’s especially exhilarating on the road; paired with MAX’s beautiful harmonies, it invites you into an extraordinary musical experience.
MariaT-BOLAN
This is the song that genuinely made me wonder why T-BOLAN is so cool.
It’s a bit different from those bright, obviously feel-good songs that anyone would call an energy booster.
But when I listen to this track, I feel like my mind gets sorted out and I become calm.
I’m from a slightly different generation, but I’ve listened to this song many times.
Young ladies, fall in loveWANDS
I thought it was a song with a very easy-to-listen-to melody.
It’s rock, but not just an upbeat, high-energy tune—it’s a song that genuinely speaks to the heart.
It feels cool and refreshing, and listening to it gave me a soothing sense of calm.
STEADYSPEED
Accompanied by a music video memorable for its sepia-toned seaside scenes, SPEED’s second single was released in November 1996.
It sold 1.5 million copies, earning a spot at No.
5 on the 1997 annual singles sales ranking.
While its bittersweet lyrics speak of love, the song conveys a forward-looking spirit.
Chosen as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Itazura na Kiss,” it captured the hearts of many viewers.
Beyond the allure of their vocals and dance, the track lets listeners feel the group’s growth through its melodic lines.
Filled with feelings for a cherished person swayed by love, it remains beloved by many listeners even today.
