Aqua Timez’s famous and popular songs

Let me introduce songs by the five-member rock band Aqua Timez.

They have a lineup of classics, many of which were used as theme songs for anime and TV dramas.

Their appeal lies in their exhilarating freshness and straightforward lyrics.

If you were born in the early 1990s, many of their songs will probably feel very nostalgic.

By the way, one of their songs includes Coach Anzai’s famous quote: “If you give up, the game is over right there.”

Aqua Timez’s Classic and Popular Songs (41–50)

Sakura RoadAqua Timez

This is a song I want to listen to when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.

I hope you’ll play it when you find yourself thinking the blossoms are beautiful and feel like there’s someone you’d like to watch them with or show them to.

It’s a beautiful piece that layers a touch of melancholy onto the lovely sakura.

The keyboard sounds fit perfectly, and the light, airy feel is wonderfully springlike.

This is a signature cheer song by the hugely popular band Aqua Timez, known for their moving ballads.

The relaxed, ballad-like tone is quintessentially Aqua Timez, and the profound lyrics resonate deeply.

It’s one of those songs that helps you study just by listening to it.

The Premium Malt’s Japanese Ale Kaoru Ale ‘Aqua Timez × Kaoru Ale’ Web Commercial 30s Suntory

This is a commercial for Kaoru Ale that features live footage of Aqua Timez, who reunited in 2024.

In the CM, they perform their first single after reuniting, “Hitoshizuku,” and many viewers were surely captivated by the unmistakable Aqua Timez vibe and the refreshing, pleasant melody line.

Especially for listeners born in the Heisei era, it may have brought back memories of frequently listening to their songs during their school days.

The ending of the CM also memorably shows the members toasting with Kaoru Ale.

Released in 2006, this is Aqua Timez’s second single.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when you’ve lost confidence and don’t have the courage to face love.

It reminds you of the simple truth that telling someone you like them is important, and that nothing will begin if you don’t say it.

The diary-like lyrics are gentle and fit Aqua Timez’s image very well, and I feel they really show their humanity.

Paired with an exciting sound and sung with a bouncy feel, this song makes me want to listen to it at the beginning of summer.

An emotional folk song.

While reflecting on a grandfather’s feelings—that no matter how old we get, understanding one another is difficult and parting is painful—the singer holds close the teaching that a man should be a protector of women, and sings with that ideal in his heart.

This song is about human weakness.

The lyrics say that people must live strongly.

Yet precisely because we’ve lived that way, we end up crying when someone treats us kindly.

Though the heart is fragile, we always walk with our heads held high, living so we can be proud of ourselves.

It’s a song that is both vulnerable and powerful.
