A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

The 1990s were a decade that produced countless million-selling hits.

TV dramas were also hugely successful, and it wasn’t uncommon for theme songs to sell big alongside the shows themselves.

In this article, we’re shining a spotlight on love songs from that era.

We’ve gathered a variety of romantic tunes: theme songs from blockbuster romance dramas, wedding classics, and timeless love songs cherished across generations.

It’s a lineup that longtime fans who experienced the era firsthand will enjoy—as well as younger listeners who didn’t live through it.

My Room, My Dress Shirt, and MeHiramatsu Eri

This is Eri Hiramatsu’s signature song, released in 1992 and loved for many years since.

Because its lyrics read like a set of “instructions” for a future husband, it’s often compared to Masashi Sada’s “Declaration of the Lord.” With this song, Hiramatsu won both the Japan Record Award and the Lyrics Award that year.

The many gentle, “please do keep these promises since I’m going to be your wife” requests feel like classic married-life scenarios—funny, a little bit scary, and touching in the end—making it easy to see why the song has endured.

It’s a ballad you’ll want to sing when you fall in love.
