Linda LindaTHE BLUE HEARTS

[Official] THE BLUE HEARTS “Linda Linda” [1st Single (1987/5/1)] THE BLUE HEARTS / Linda Linda
Linda LindaTHE BLUE HEARTS

One of The Blue Hearts’ signature songs, and the kind you can just scream and have fun with—whether live or at karaoke! For the quiet intro, sing carefully and with feeling, then for the chorus don’t worry about pitch—just belt it out and it’ll always get everyone hyped! Momentum is important, of course, but if you just shout recklessly you’ll hurt your throat, so focus on engaging your vocal cords and resonating in your chest.

Even just placing a hand on your chest while you sing helps you feel the resonance and hear your own voice better! You might get caught up in the intensity, but don’t forget to breathe—and enjoy singing!

Among the many songs by THE BLUE HEARTS—a punk band with a passionate fanbase—the one we really want everyone to belt out together is their ninth single, “Jounetsu no Bara” (Rose of Passion).

It was used as the theme song for the TBS drama High School Graffiti 2 and famously reached No.

1 on the Oricon singles chart.

It’s a rock tune that blends the raw, quintessential BLUE HEARTS sound with lyrics that hit you right in the heart.

In particular, the chorus that appears only once at the very end always gets the crowd fired up when you sing it—so definitely give it a try!

Released the same year, the track reached No.

1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and ranked third on DAM’s annual karaoke chart the following year.

It’s a rock tune with an irresistible sense of release and speed in the chorus.

After the second verse, there’s a section sung not with lyrics but repeated “oh”s, so even people who don’t know the song should find it easy and satisfying to sing!

They’re releasing a TikTok-linked project called “Episode of NINE LIVES,” a series of short dramas starring each of the nine members.

The limited first-press Blu-ray reportedly includes a director’s cut and behind-the-scenes footage.

It’s a groovy dance tune themed around a nine-member group × “cats have nine lives”! If you can pull it off at karaoke, it’s a guaranteed attention-grabber! You can sing it solo, or split the parts and sing it as a duo—how you approach it makes it even more fun! Within a single track you’ll find ultra-high notes and rap sections; keeping pitch, managing breath control, and handling the relatively fast tempo will test your sense of rhythm.

If you firmly memorize the melody line and focus less on “pushing your voice out” and more on “resonance,” you’ll find it feels great to sing!
