While shining…Tokunaga Hideaki
A hit number featuring Hideaki Tokunaga’s clear, transparent vocals that feel wonderfully soothing.
Released as a single in 1987, it’s also known as the song that brought Tokunaga’s voice to widespread attention.
A poignant ballad that traces memories with a young girl, it invites you to lose yourself in its world of lyrical lyrics, beautiful melody, and a slightly husky, sensual high-tone voice.
If you remember those days, it’s also recommended to revisit it now as an adult and deliberately savor the perhaps overly romantic atmosphere that reflects the Showa era.
