There’s always tomorrowSakamoto Kyu
This work humorously portrays a young man who has fallen in love with a schoolgirl in a sailor uniform he sees at the station every day, yet can’t quite find the courage to speak to her.
Its optimistic message—that even if you fail, there’s always tomorrow—warms listeners’ hearts.
Sung by Kyu Sakamoto in 1963, the song became a major hit, selling around 800,000 copies, and was later covered by artists such as Ulfuls and Re:Japan.
Its bright major-key melody and catchy chorus are the kind that make you smile the moment they start playing in an intro quiz: “Oh, it’s this one!” Why not hum along together as you reminisce about the tender feelings of youthful love?
Beach of MemoriesZa Wairudowanzu
Let me introduce a song whose sparkling 12-string guitar tone resonates in the heart like the gentle surf at summer’s end.
When you listen to it, it brings back those bittersweet summer memories of youth, doesn’t it? You can almost picture the protagonist of the lyrics alone on the beach, quietly reflecting on a love that has passed.
It’s a little wistful, yet it leaves you with a warm feeling.
The fresh harmonies of The Wild Ones are wonderful, too! This piece was released in November 1966 as their debut single, and it became a classic loved by many, selling over a million copies.
The B-side featured a song called “Your Baby.” It also served as the theme song for the film “Omoide no Nagisa” and for the TV drama “Shitetsu Ensen 97 Bunsho.” Why not give it a listen on a summer day to cool off, or when you want to sink into cherished memories? It’s sure to bring you a moment of peace.
SEPTEMBEREarth, Wind & Fire
Released in 1978, this track is perfect when you’re in the mood to move and have fun.
Buoyant guitar lines and a comfortable groove naturally get your hands clapping and feet tapping.
Its blend of soul, funk, jazz, and R&B is quintessential Earth, Wind & Fire.
Featured in films like Night at the Museum and Intimacy, it’s a beloved classic that has captivated many.
It’s no surprise it earned Gold certification from the RIAA—its timeless appeal is undeniable.
Highly recommended not only when you want to get your body moving, but also when you need a lift for your spirits.
Why not enjoy a wonderful musical moment by moving to the rhythm?
Tokyo RhapsodyFujiyama Ichirō
A classic song representing 1936 (Showa 11) was born in a work set in Ginza, Kanda, Asakusa, and Shinjuku, portrayed in a pure and light foxtrot style.
Ichiro Fujiyama’s beautiful voice elegantly sings of urban scenes and a love story.
This piece, which vividly brings to mind the bustling districts of Tokyo at the time, became a massive hit, selling 350,000 copies.
It was Fujiyama’s first release after moving to Teichiku, and a film of the same title was later produced, cementing its status as a beloved song that symbolizes the Showa era.
It’s a perfect track for a calm moment or when reminiscing about the past.
Enjoy a heartwarming time discussing what Tokyo was like back then together with older listeners.
Tokyo Olympic OndoMinami Haruo
As the name suggests, Tokyo Olympic Ondo was the theme song for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and in addition to Haruo Minami, it was performed by prominent singers such as Yukio Hashi, Michiya Mihashi, Kyu Sakamoto, and Saburo Kitajima.
It is said that the association with Haruo Minami became fixed because his version sold the most.
At the time, Minami said, “Japan worked hard and achieved such a remarkable recovery.
The Tokyo Olympics is an opportunity to show that to the world, and I poured my strong desire to make it a success into the song.” For seniors, it may be a track that brings back the feelings of that era.
