ZARD had been popular since as far back as I can remember, but I always wondered why they never appeared on TV.

BIKE-OH: “No Such Thing as Goodbye” (version)

Love Is Overtsuruno takeshi

This commercial, featuring Takeshi Tsuruno singing the BGM, is for Bike-O (Bike-Oh).

For motorcycle riders, their beloved bike is a true partner that has traveled with them to many places.

Parting with a bike is a major decision, but the ad conveys that “in such times, please consult Bike-O,” and shows their straightforward support.

The background music is a cover by Tsuruno of Faye Ouyang’s classic song “Love Is Over.” Although it’s a famous ballad about breaking up with a lover, in this commercial it evokes the feeling of saying goodbye to a cherished motorcycle.

Summer MemoriesKetsumeishi

Looking back, my first encounter with rap might have been Ketsumeishi.

Their songs have so many catchy melodies that overturn the usual image of rap, and their story-driven lyrics are really interesting.

The structure of their albums is excellent too, so I definitely recommend buying the albums.
