TIMEB’z

The rock ballad “TIME,” which is very popular among fans and often performed live, really strikes a chord with the feelings of heartbreak through its sentimental atmosphere.

In particular, the tone of the guitar in the interlude seems to paint a range of emotions and resonates deeply in the chest.

People often say that time will make you forget, but it’s not easy to switch your feelings right away, is it…? I don’t think you need to force yourself.

Sometimes it’s okay to visit places filled with memories.

It’s a song that, even as you’re gently overcome by the desire to go back, seems to reveal a new light ahead.

What happiness!B’z

What happiness!

It’s a song that expresses a father’s feelings: even if he’s exhausted every day from nothing but work, he’s happy to be able to work each day to protect his beloved family.

He wants to keep gazing forever at the sleeping face of his adorable child.

You can feel the ache of not being able to spend much time together because work is so busy.

PainkillerB’z

Painkiller

This song, included on B’z’s 2023 album STARS, is a masterpiece that sings of the desire to ease a loved one’s pain.

Its striking guitar riff and passionate vocals are captivating.

With Takahiro Matsumoto’s guitar and Koshi Inaba’s voice blending beautifully, it’s a track brimming with quintessential B’z style.

Among their songs, the higher notes are relatively restrained here, and if you sing it with heartfelt care for someone, it’s sure to resonate with listeners.

It’s a perfect song for expressing your feelings to someone important.

Konya Tsuki no Mieru Oka ni / B’z [Music Box] (Theme song for the TBS drama “Beautiful Life”)

This is a poignant ballad by B’z, one of Japan’s premier big-name artists, which was also used as the theme song for TBS’s classic drama “Beautiful Life,” starring former SMAP member Takuya Kimura, Takako Tokiwa, and Miki Mizuno.

When arranged as a music box, it’s truly moving.

Koi-gokoro (Budding Feelings of Love)B’z

Koi-gokoro (Budding Feelings of Love)

The song “Koi-Gokoro (KOI-GOKORO),” included as the B-side to the 11th single “ZERO,” which recorded million-seller status despite having no tie-in, is known for its enduring popularity among fans, even taking the top spot on the fan-voted best album “B’z The Best ‘Treasure.’” Although the key is high throughout, the vocal range is not wide, so set the key to suit your voice when singing.

However, be careful not to miss the notes, as the chorus features repeated leaps in pitch.

The Unfading RainbowB’z

An Unfading Rainbow / B’z

It’s a hidden gem by B’z.

It’s a slightly slow ballad, so it might make you sleepy, but Koshi Inaba’s rich vocals really speak to the heart.

I chose it because the title “Unfading Rainbow” feels kind of auspicious.
