Words of FarewellKaientai
“Okuru Kotoba” is a classic graduation song that has been passed down and sung by people of all generations.
It’s a massive hit by the band Kaientai, led by actor Tetsuya Takeda.
Released in November 1979, it was used as the theme song for the drama “Mr.
Kinpachi in Class 3-B,” one of Takeda’s signature works.
On the music program “The Best Ten,” he even performed it surrounded by the students of Class 3-B, showing how beloved the song was by people across the country at the time.
It’s a song that carries the message of what you want to tell—and want someone dear to remember—before saying goodbye.
rose flowerkururi
Among the songs by Quruli, the rock band from Kyoto, this masterpiece could well be called the King of Pop.
Released as a single in 2001, it was also used as an insert song in the TBS drama Orange Days.
Miki Furukawa, the bassist of the rock band SUPERCAR who had close ties with Quruli, handles the chorus in the hook.
Shigeru Kishida’s vocals and the unique world he paints bring back those fluttering feelings and bittersweet memories from back then, don’t they? It’s a track I especially want newcomers to Quruli to hear.
to go on a rampage; to start acting violently; to run amokUrufuruzu
We keep failing and things just don’t go right no matter how long we try… “Why did I end up doing it like that…?” Even as adults, there are so many things we regret.
This song gently stays by your heart in times like that.
It’s a masterpiece that carries their signature hidden passion.
When you’re feeling down, listen to this song, have a good cry, reset your feelings, and keep going!
To MomAI
“To Mom” was written as the theme song for Lotte’s Ghana Milk Chocolate commercial.
Released as a digital single in 2013, this song resonates because its letter-like expression of “thank you” overlaps with the desire to convey gratitude.
It overflows with the heartwarming mood characteristic of AI, and it warms the listener’s heart.
At concerts, mothers and children come up on stage while the song is performed, making it even more moving.
We often hear the phrase “unconditional love,” but love takes many different forms, doesn’t it? From what feelings are they watching over us? Amid the gratitude of being together, feelings that no longer reach, and a range of emotions that make your heart feel full, the song also seems to teach us the importance of expressing our feelings to each other.
Even sentiments we can’t usually put into words feel expressible when accompanied by this song.
It’s a touching love song filled with appreciation for mothers.
Days in rosy huesTHE YELLOW MONKEY
THE YELLOW MONKEY is a rock band highly acclaimed by numerous musicians both in Japan and abroad.
Their 1999 release, “Barairo no Hibi,” was chosen as the ending theme for NHK’s “Pop Jam.” Its heavy, straightforward rock sound leaves a strong impression.
Yoshii Kazuya’s emotionally charged vocals, with their mature vibe, are truly stirring.
Many listeners will relate to the profound, scenic imagery of the lyrics.
It’s a rock number that lets you feel the bittersweet ache of loving someone so deeply it hurts.
