TEE & HIPPY「dear DREAMER」Official Music Video

Hippy is a singer-songwriter from Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture.

He served as the vocalist for the band maegashira, which was active from 2001 until it disbanded in 2011.

Since then, he has pursued a solo career.

In 2020, he drew attention for a collaboration with TEE on the track “dear DREAMER.” The song was inspired by former professional baseball player Tsuyoshi Shinjo’s attempt to return to pro baseball, and it was chosen as the theme song for the 2020 Summer Hiroshima Prefectural High School Baseball Tournament on Hiroshima Home TV.

Each Other’s Way ~On the Journey~hiro

EXILE / Each Other’s Way ~On the Journey~

HIRO, the leader of EXILE, hails from Hiroshima Prefecture.

This is their 36th single from when he was still a performer in the group.

They have many explosive hits, but this is my favorite, and I still listen to it often.

The forward-looking lyrics set to a bittersweet melody really resonate with me.

The performers’ incredibly cool dancing in the music video is also a highlight.

Chiho Ishida, Mitsuki Imamura, Kokoro Kai, Arisa Mineyoshi, and many others—STU48 is an idol group based in the Setouchi region with many members from Hiroshima Prefecture.

As a sister group of AKB48, they won the New Artist Award at the 60th Japan Record Awards with their debut single, “Kurayami.” As idols contributing to Setouchi, their charm surely lies in their cuteness and simplicity.

If you’re not familiar with them yet, this is a great chance to check them out!

THE BARRETT – Surrounded on All Sides

Known as a rock band that Hiroshima Prefecture is proud of, THE BARRETT captivates many fans with their powerful sound and distinctive worldview.

They made their major debut in 2013 and produced hit songs such as “Title TBA.” Their music has been used as theme songs for films and TV dramas, earning support from a wide audience.

THE BARRETT’s music is characterized by lyrics that portray the small joys and bittersweet moments of everyday life, paired with a melodious rock sound.

In 2018, they successfully held their first concert at the Nippon Budokan, showcasing their growth as a band.

Their songs have a mysterious charm that warms the heart.

They’re a band I recommend not only to rock fans but also to anyone who connects with sincere, straightforward lyrics.
