[BOØWY’s Masterpieces] A comprehensive showcase from hidden fan favorites to signature hits!

BEAT EMOTIONBOØWY

BOØWY / B・BLUE

BOØWY dominated Japan’s rock scene in the 1980s.

Their 1986 album BEAT EMOTION debuted at No.

1 on the Oricon chart.

With Kyosuke Himuro’s alluring vocals and Tomoyasu Hotei’s technical guitar weaving a thrilling, exhilarating sound, it’s sure to resonate across generations.

It’s a must-listen not only for rock fans but also for anyone interested in ’80s music.

As a timeless classic still beloved by many, this masterpiece is well worth revisiting.

CHU-RU-LUBOØWY

BOØWY cover band / MIDNIGHT DANNERS Chururu CHU-RU-LU

The song was originally composed during the time when Himuro, Matsui, and Atsushi Morohoshi—who later left the group—were in a band called Despenalty during their high school days.

Although the composition is credited to Himuro, during their first live performance at Shibuya Kokaido, Himuro said in the MC that it was “a song I made with Morohoshi.”

ENDLESSBOØWY

ENDLESS

The song that closes the first album “MORAL,” credited with lyrics by “MOONLIGHT,” refers to Keisuke Gekkou, who was on the staff at the time.

It’s a track that clearly stands apart from the others, like a mysterious piece of loop music.

LONDON GAMEBOØWY

LONDON GAME

A track included on BOØWY’s second album, INSTANT LOVE.

The guitar solo has a dreamy vibe that completely intoxicates you with its playing.

You can’t help but get fired up by the razor-sharp guitar.

It’s a song that makes you marvel at the brilliance of the cutting.

I’ve heard it was often performed as the last song at concerts.

Among fans, it’s known as a call-and-response song, popular for creating a sense of unity and getting the crowd hyped.

The lyrics, which poke a little fun at the London punk boom of the 1970s in the UK, are very unique.

MASS AGEBOØWY

BOØWY – MASS AGE

It’s the ninth track on the debut album “MORAL,” and the interplay between the guitar riff and the vocals feels great.

Kyosuke Himuro’s vocal groove and Tomoyasu Hotei’s guitar groove intertwine brilliantly, making it irresistibly upbeat! It makes you want to dance!

MORALBOØWY

MORAL

When it comes to this song, it would be impossible to discuss it without addressing the impact of lyrics that go so far as to declare a love for other people’s misfortune.

The raw words, distinctly different from the sanitized lyrics you hear on television, possess a power that only true feelings can have—cutting sharply through a society that lives by pretense.

THIS MOMENTBOØWY

BOOWY THIS MOMENT

A song included on BOØWY’s second album, INSTANT LOVE.

The Showa-era kayōkyoku-style vibe is an interesting touch.

True to BOØWY’s magic, each member’s strengths shine through in the arrangement, making this slow-tempo track undeniably cool.

Himuro’s husky vocals are spot-on, and Hotei’s graceful guitar melodies are flawless.

The finger-picked bass and dramatic drumming perfectly match the imagery of the highly message-driven lyrics.
