The Blue Hearts’ classic and popular songs (81–90)
Melody of MassacreTHE BLUE HEARTS
It is one of the signature works of THE BLUE HEARTS, known for their intense live performances and sharp social criticism.
This track features Hiroto Kōmoto’s resonant, low-register vocals and Masatoshi Mashima’s distinctive guitar.
Released in October 1992 as the B-side of the single “Yume,” it was later included on the album “HIGH KICKS.” The lyrics, which question humanity’s foolishness and the nature of justice, continue to resonate with many listeners today.
It’s a recommended song for those who feel discontent with society or want to express their feelings through music.
Longing to be a heroTHE BLUE HEARTS
It depicts someone who admires the warriors—heroes of a tumultuous era—and the emerging inner conflict of realizing that, in the peaceful times they now live in, they cannot become like those admired heroes.
The painfulness of their struggle, as they search for how they might become a hero and get hurt along the way, is palpable.
WHITE X’MASTHE BLUE HEARTS
You can’t leave out their presence when talking about the Japanese rock scene from the ’80s to the ’90s.
This is a song by the legendary rock band THE BLUE HEARTS that was performed only once, at their Christmas live show in 1985.
The original is the globally renowned Christmas song White Christmas by composer Irving Berlin.
They turned it into a characteristically fast-paced, quintessentially punk sound that’s unmistakably theirs.
while chewing gumTHE BLUE HEARTS
You can feel THE BLUE HEARTS’ wild and free way of life in “Chewing Gum wo Kaminagara.” This song celebrates the greatness of not fully becoming an adult.
It portrays chewing gum as a metaphor for a rebellious attitude.
Sensing the cleverness of that word choice, I’d love for you to try singing it.
The piece is characterized by a rough, raw vocal style, so rather than worrying too much about pitch or rhythm, it’s better to prioritize singing with feeling.
Center of the worldTHE BLUE HEARTS
Including its legendary live performances, “Sekai no Mannaka” (“The Center of the World”) is etched in the hearts of many.
Its distinctly philosophical lyrics deliver a message to those who’ve lost confidence: “You’re the protagonist.” It’s a pretty fiery track, isn’t it? That’s why I hope you’ll sing it with real feeling.
By the way, though it’s a fast, intense song, the rhythm itself is simple, so it should be easy to catch the groove and sing along.
Dive in with high energy, and you’ll feel like Hiroto Kōmoto!
I want you to kiss me (too-too-too)THE BLUE HEARTS
This is a rock number that goes straight down the very center of the mainstream.
It’s a song by the legendary band THE BLUE HEARTS, who led the rock scene from the late ’80s to the early ’90s, released as their third single in 1987.
With its punkish sound and dead-straight lyrics, it’s the kind of track that makes you want to say, “This is Blue Hearts!” It sounds cool no matter when you listen to it.
That unflinchingly direct feeling for someone you love…
It makes me think, I wish I could live with feelings like that too.

Tokyo Zombie (Russian Roulette)THE BLUE HEARTS
When I was young, their passionate singing sent me a message that made me think about all sorts of things—what it means to be an adult, what life is.
This song, too, is like a truth sung for people wandering the city like zombies, blending life with a game like Russian roulette.
But since it’s Halloween, let’s set the heavy stuff aside for a moment and just become zombies and enjoy a little Russian roulette, shall we? After all, life is a roll of the dice, isn’t it?
