Dandelion PoemTHE ALFEE
This song was adopted as the ending theme for the so-called eighth iteration of the classic Doraemon.
Its lyrics, which gently evoke memories of boyhood and match the subtly nostalgic world of Doraemon, are full of emotion and have something that wells up in the heart.
Dandelion PoemTHE ALFEE
Boasting a long band history with all members able to sing, THE ALFEE’s 51st single, released in 2003, was used as the eighth ending theme song for the TV Asahi anime Doraemon.
It’s a refreshing message song dedicated to people giving their all, and a rock number that can be enjoyed together with children.
The Dandelion’s ResolutionAKB48
This is a song performed during the theater show “Team B 4th Stage: Idol no Yoake” by AKB48’s original Team B, one of Japan’s leading female idol groups.
The image of a dandelion growing vigorously evokes the future, dreams, and hope, conveying a sense of inner strength.
himawariMr.Children
A song chosen as the theme for the film “I Want to Eat Your Pancreas.” The heroine, who appears in the movie and lives straight on with a smile despite her illness, is likened to a single sunflower.
The lyrics, which portray her poignant scattering as the seasons pass, are deeply moving.
Dandelion (Toys II)LÄ-PPISCH
This is a track from the first full album “LÄ-PPISCH” by the rock/ska music group LÄ-PPISCH, who made their major debut in 1987.
The melody digs in alongside lyrics you can’t help but read over and over, and the tasteful arrangement and distinctive worldview are downright addictive.
Dandelion ~ The Late-blooming DandelionMatsutōya Yumi
It’s a song written and composed by singer-songwriter Yumi Matsutoya, created as the theme for the “McDonald’s Musical: Daddy-Long-Legs” and provided to the lead actress, Tomoyo Harada.
Harada’s single was released in July 1983, followed by Matsutoya’s single in August of the same year.
It’s a lovely song with the theme of a girl’s growth.
DandelionMONGOL800
This is a track from the three-piece rock band MONGOL800, formed in Okinawa Prefecture, included on their 2001 album MESSAGE.
Despite being an indie release, the album became a mega-hit and is considered a classic.
If you keep listening to this closing track, something will happen.
