Turn the roulette of fateZARD

A supreme track woven from lyrical lyrics that capture the subtleties of life and a light, buoyant melody.
While questioning the role of fate’s coincidences and the meaning of our choices, it gently reminds us of the importance of facing forward and living on.
Composed by Seiichiro Kuribayashi, it beautifully harmonizes ZARD’s heartwarming message with a refreshing sound.
Since its release in September 1998, it has been beloved as the opening theme of the anime Detective Conan and is also included on the album ZARD BEST The Single Collection: Kiseki.
It’s an uplifting song I’d recommend to anyone hesitating yet ready to take a step forward, or to those who want to move ahead without fearing change.
Sorry, cowboy.ushirogami hikaretai

We present a classic idol pop masterpiece from the 1980s, sourced from rare recordings.
Set to a powerful yet beautiful melody line, the song richly expresses a yearning for and desire to understand a free-spirited transfer student.
Yasushi Akimoto’s lyrics and Tsutomu Goto’s composition blend perfectly, resulting in a fresh and captivating track.
Released by Ushirogami Hikaretai in November 1987, the song was used as the opening theme for the Fuji TV anime “Tsuide ni Tonchinkan” and is also included on the album BAB.
It’s the perfect tune for anyone wanting to indulge in a sense of nostalgia.

I bet there were a few you can still hum today.

Listening to them makes you feel nostalgic for the anime itself and want to watch it again, doesn’t it?
