Glass BoyNEW!DOMOTO
Its subtly drawn portrayal of innocence slipping away and precariousness, set in a dim yet beautiful world, is deeply moving.
Crafted by Takashi Matsumoto and Tatsuro Yamashita, the sophisticated melody and the aching harmonies of Koichi Domoto and Tsuyoshi Domoto tighten the chest.
Released as a single in July 1997, it came out the same day as the acclaimed A album.
The song was a massive hit, selling a cumulative 1.793 million copies, and was chosen as the entrance march for the 70th Memorial National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament in spring 1998.
This work gently stays by your side when you find yourself wanting to look back on the past or sink into sentiment on a quiet night.
Perfect for those who want to feel their heart tremble as they experience music where a mature allure and fresh vitality coexist.
Rain MelodyNEW!DOMOTO
One of the double A-side singles released in October 1999, it remains enduringly popular.
It is closely tied to the TBS drama “to Heart: Koi shite Shinitai,” demonstrating how the artist’s acting and music activities were tightly interlinked at the time.
While rooted in classic J-pop balladry, the song combines the emotive sensibility of kayōkyoku with a sleek, urban medium-slow feel.
Its structure draws listeners in quietly and sinks deeper into emotion, and its word choices foreground a poignant sense of longing, creating a mature mood.
With its richly shaded melodic lines and a dramatic turn that unleashes pent-up passion in the chorus, it vividly captures the afterglow of love.
Give it a listen on a rainy night when you want a song that gently accompanies loneliness and the ache of missed connections.
The Blue AgeNEW!DOMOTO
If you want to experience the bittersweetness of youth, this song is highly recommended.
It’s a single released in 1998 by the duo Koichi Domoto and Tsuyoshi Domoto, and it remains enduringly popular.
Chosen as the theme song for a drama of the same title starring Tsuyoshi Domoto, it beautifully linked with the story’s world.
This medium-tempo ballad portrays delicate emotions that pass like the seasons and the instability that comes with youth.
The duo’s sensitive vocals intertwine, delivering a powerful tug at the heart.
It’s a perfect track for revisiting adolescent memories or for listening alone at dusk, letting it sink in slowly.
