flower bonfireShizukusa Yumi
Yumi Shizukusa, who has sung many songs rooted in R&B and soul, took on Japanese-style pop for the first time with this masterpiece.
It was used as the theme song for the Thursday Mystery drama “Kyoto Chiken no Onna” (The Woman of the Kyoto District Public Prosecutor’s Office).
Right after the drama aired, inquiries poured in, and the song reached No.
2 on the cable inquiry chart.
Stop the worldTakei Shiori
Shiori Takei’s first TV anime tie-in song, which she earned after winning the runner-up prize in the Being audition.
It’s a classic that became her best-selling track.
Her easy-to-listen-to vocals and realistic, relatable lyrics are excellent.
A masterpiece that brings to mind someone you love.
koi hanabiTakaoka Ai
This is a masterpiece by Ai Takaoka, a singer-songwriter who was also active as a model.
It was used as the ending theme for the drama “Kodomo no Jijō,” but it didn’t become a hit.
I think it deserved to sell more—it’s a song that truly resonates with the heart.
Everlasting luvBREAKERZ
This is a masterpiece by the band BREAKERZ, fronted by DAIGO, who’s in high demand on variety shows.
As a make-or-break song that DAIGO poured his heart and soul into creating, it brims with fiery energy.
This thrilling, rock-driven number is a cool track that captivates both men and women.
Special HolynightUehara Azumi
A hit song that was also used in the DoCoMo “M-stage music” commercial, recording sales of 40,000 copies.
Azumi Uehara herself appears in the commercial.
The lyrics written by Azumi Uehara are cute and girlish, and they make your heart flutter.
It’s a shame that she had to suspend her activities due to a contract violation.

DinosaurB’z
B’z, the flagship musicians of Being and a band that could be called a world-class act representing Japan.
While there are many more famous songs from their early years, I deliberately recommend Dinosaur here.
Prepare to be blown away by the powerful performance of these two, who hardly look like they’re in their fifties.
overjoyedRAMJET PULLEY
It’s a band formed by the three members of rumania montevideo excluding the Miyoshi sisters.
I used to think rumania montevideo had so many great songs thanks to the Miyoshi sisters’ talent, but even without them, RAMJET PULLEY sings some really good tracks! It’s a masterpiece that truly hits home.
