BEGIN’s songs. BEGIN’s masterpieces and recommended popular tracks (61–70)
Your song is a waltzBEGIN
They are a three-piece band from Ishigaki City in Okinawa Prefecture.
Their sound has won support across the country, far beyond Okinawa.
The blues-tinged acoustic tones flow with a nostalgic air, sinking deep into listeners’ hearts.
They’re well known not only for their own band activities but also for writing songs for many other artists.
Having emerged from the audition program Ikasu Band Tengoku—better known as “Ikaten”—they’ve become one of Japan’s leading acts, carrying with them the island’s calm seas and salty breeze.
Shibuya Centennial Grand DanceBEGIN
This song, filled with feelings for Shibuya, is brought to you by BEGIN, a three-piece acoustic band from Okinawa.
In a new style called “Bon Marsha,” which fuses the rhythm of Bon Odori with Brazil’s marcha, it celebrates Shibuya’s history and future.
The track weaves in scenes of Shibuya, evoking both nostalgia and vibrancy.
It was released digitally in August 2024 and is included on the album “BEGIN no Bon Marsha,” out in October.
An original choreography video has also been released, with hopes it will be used at local events.
This work is imbued with the love of BEGIN, who consider Shibuya their second hometown.
It’s best enjoyed while soaking in the atmosphere of the city.
Love runsBEGIN
As the title suggests, it’s a refreshing song that makes you want to start running the moment you hear it.
You might just find real-life love, not the kind you find in games.
It’s a different vibe from “Umi no Koe” and “Shima Uta no Takara,” and BIGIN’s urban side is truly wonderful—definitely a song I want you to hear.
Islanders’ TreasureBEGIN
One of BEGIN’s signature songs is “Shimanchu no Takara” (Islanders’ Treasure).
BEGIN’s gentle vocals slip straight into your heart, soothing everyone who listens.
Hailing from Okinawa, they weave Okinawan traditions into their music, making this a song that evokes the feeling of summer.
12-string guitar of meteorsBEGIN
A track included on an early album.
Rather than having an Okinawan sound, it leans more toward a Western pop feel, yet you can sense the beginnings of what makes BEGIN who they are today.
It’s a gem of a song, and I recommend listening to it while driving.
FlowerBEGIN
It’s a cover of Shoukichi Kina’s ‘Hana,’ a song that has been covered by many musicians from Okinawa.
Its warm melody and gentle lyrics resonate deeply and can move you to tears.
When you face daunting obstacles, it gives you the strength to try to overcome them.
seedlingBEGIN
Released as an Okinawa-exclusive single, this track is steeped in love for Okinawa, with a cool yet bouncing beat that’s pure fun.
Its flowing rhythm is irresistibly groovy, making your body sway naturally.
The word choices are packed with Okinawan terms in a way that’s entertaining—appealing not only to those from Okinawa but also to listeners elsewhere who find themselves dreaming of the islands.
It’s a song where you can feel BEGIN’s coolness and their deep affection for Okinawa.
