[Official] THE BLUE HEARTS “Linda Linda” [1st Single (1987/5/1)] THE BLUE HEARTS / Linda Linda

A signature song by THE BLUE HEARTS filled with the determination to convey one’s feelings with all their might.

It’s a track where the exhilarating punch of punk rock meshes perfectly with powerfully message-driven lyrics.

The strong resolve to “protect what’s important no matter the circumstances” resonates deeply alongside Hiroto Kōmoto’s forceful vocals.

Released in May 1987 as their major-label debut single, it remains a classic that continues to be used in commercials and TV dramas more than 30 years later.

Beloved across generations—featured as the theme of the film Linda Linda Linda, among others—it’s a song you’ll want to hear when you need courage, whether after heartbreak or when you feel compelled to protect what matters most.

Moon BomberTHE BLUE HEARTS

THE BLUE HEARTS – Bomber of the Moon

A hidden gem by THE BLUE HEARTS that expresses the nihilism of war and indignation toward the ethics violated by it.

The song conveys messages from both the viewpoint of those who bomb and those who are bombed.

It was included on the live album “Live All Sold Out,” released in January 1996.

The “thin moonlight” is used as a metaphor for shared ethics and understanding, suggesting that all conflicts can be resolved through mutual understanding.

This approach, rich with depth that invites multiple interpretations, evokes a range of emotions and thoughts.

Recommended for those who resonate with lyrics that touch the heart, this track gives courage to face life’s hardships and challenges.

A Boy’s PoemTHE BLUE HEARTS

The Blue Hearts – A Boy's Poem

This is a song that vividly captures a boy’s emotions.

It might feel a bit childish and leave a poor first impression, but it grows deeper with each listen.

Opinions will likely be divided, but for better or worse, it’s one of The Blue Hearts’ notable tracks.

TOO MUCH PAINTHE BLUE HEARTS

[Official] THE BLUE HEARTS 'TOO MUCH PAIN' [9th Single (1992/3/10)] THE BLUE HEARTS / TOO MUCH PAIN

Known as a bittersweet heartbreak song, this track is The Blue Hearts’ ninth single, released in March 1992.

Hiroto Kōmoto’s distinctive low vocals and Masatoshi Mashima’s raspy voice weave an exquisite harmony.

The lyric “the legend of the outcasts’ distant summer” is said to be an homage to the band’s idol, The Clash.

Delicately portraying complex feelings about love, parting, and an uncertain future, this song marks a shift in The Blue Hearts’ musical direction.

It will resonate in your heart when you want to heal the pain of a breakup or when you’re trying to move on from someone important.

It’s a song with a strong message.

Many people will likely find themselves thinking, “Yes! That’s it! That’s not it!” and really relate to it.

It’s sung fiercely and boldly all the way through.

It was covered by Masato Hagiwara for the anime Kaiji and used as the opening theme.

Rose of PassionTHE BLUE HEARTS

[Official] THE BLUE HEARTS 'Rose of Passion' [6th Single (1990/7/25)] THE BLUE HEARTS / Jyounetsu no Bara

This is a song that has been used many times in dramas and commercials.

I think many people remember it for that catchy chorus.

Since the chorus only appears once at the end, you might feel a bit let down if you listen expecting it throughout.

Even so, it’s still one of their signature tracks with an overall high level of quality.

It’s one of The Blue Hearts’ famous songs, but opinions may be divided.

The song starts with a shocking line.

I don’t really understand the meaning of the lyrics, but each word resonates with me, and the music is, of course, wonderful.
