Unicorn - “Great Nuisance”
huge nuisanceyunikōn

A blissful newlywed life in a brand-new home is shattered by a sudden solo assignment away from the family…

This is a UNICORN song that portrays the sorrows and inner conflicts of a salaryman with plenty of humor.

Its dramatic melody, fused with orchestral elements, perfectly matches the song’s unique worldview, resulting in a masterpiece that sharply satirizes Japanese society during the bubble era.

Released in April 1989 as the lead single from the album “Hattori,” it reached No.

12 on the Oricon charts and remains immensely popular among fans.

With lyrics that empathize with the feelings of corporate warriors and a catchy, karaoke-friendly melody line, it’s perfect for gatherings where friends want to reminisce.

A lyrical love song filled with memories and lingering feelings from youth.

The gentle tones of the acoustic guitar and a voice that resonates in the heart quietly convey unfulfilled feelings and a love that passed by.

Kazuyoshi Saito’s tender vocals and guitar beautifully express nostalgia for the past and the emotions of the present.

Released in April 2010, it drew attention as the theme song for Shiseido’s IN&ON series commercials.

Since February 2017, it has also been used in Ito En’s “Oi Ocha” commercials, continuing to comfort many listeners.

It’s a song you’ll want to hum at class reunions or during long-awaited get-togethers, wrapped in fond memories.

Sing it with friends at karaoke, and its universally relatable lyrics will warm everyone’s hearts.

Easy Come, Easy Go!B’z

It was released in 1990 as B’z’s sixth single.

Serving as the lead single from their fourth album, RISKY, it was their first single to take the No.

It might make you a little bashful, but how about trying a love song that expresses a man’s straightforward feelings? This song, “Junrenka,” was released by Shonan no Kaze in 2006 and became a long-running hit.

It’s a gentle piece like a letter to someone you love, looking back on how he met his beloved girlfriend while pouring out honest affection.

You could sing it while reminiscing about a past romance, or dedicate it to someone special by your side right now—either way, it’s sure to get everyone excited!

DEAR ALGERNONHimuro Kyosuke

Kyosuke Himuro, a male singer who enjoyed charismatic popularity among men in their 50s.

He left many classic songs not only with BOØWY but also as a solo artist.

Among his masterpieces, the one I especially recommend is DEAR ALGERNON.

Although the song spans a slightly wide vocal range (mid1C to hiA), the BPM—that is, the tempo—is slow, making it generally easy to sing.

If you keep your volume in check and use a more muffled vocal tone like Himuro does, you can handle the high notes without much difficulty, so it’s a good approach to try and imitate.

The rattlesnake is comingTonneruzu

With its cheerful, upbeat sound, this opening theme for the Fuji TV variety show “Tunnels’ Thanks to Everyone” captured the hearts of viewers.

Released by Tunnels in January 1992, the song brilliantly fuses Yasushi Akimoto’s clever wordplay with Tsugutoshi Goto’s lively melody.

At first glance it seems like a simple, fun story, but its lyrics are appealingly dual-layered, allowing for deeper, more adult interpretations.

Reaching No.

1 on the Oricon charts for the first time and selling 1.409 million copies, the song has been loved across borders, with covers in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

It’s the perfect track to liven up parties and gatherings, delivering a joyful moment that gets your body moving.
