Turn the roulette of fateZARD

SARD UNDERGROUND 'Spin the Roulette of Fate' MV
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.

Narumi Yasuda, known as the wife of Noritake Kinashi, is also widely recognized as an actress.

However, she actually began performing as a singer shortly after her debut.

Her biggest hit song is this one: “Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.” Since it’s the theme song of the film, many people likely remember it well.

Because Yasuda is not primarily a singer, the vocal range is quite limited, and there aren’t any lines that require complex melodic rises and falls.

The chord progression is somewhat unusual, but aside from that there aren’t any particularly difficult points, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Defeat Galactor!Koromubia Yurikago-kai

Set to a powerful, fast-paced melody, this work portrays the heroic exploits of the Science Ninja Team protecting the peace of Earth.

The clear voices of the Columbia Yurikago-kai further enhance the energetic feel of the piece.

Celebrating the brave figures who fight using the power of science and ninja techniques, the song brings dreams and hope to children.

Used as the ending theme for Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, which began airing in 1972, it captured the hearts of many viewers throughout its 105-episode run.

The lyrics were written by the Tatsunoko Production Literary Department, and the music was composed by Asei Kobayashi.

Evoking empathy for protagonists with a pure sense of justice, this is a perfect track for anyone seeking an inspiring anthem that resonates.

It’s recommended listening when you want to feel uplifted.

In conclusion

We introduced some anime songs recommended for people in their 50s—how was it? It’s surprising how well we remember the songs we listened to as children, even after so many years.
