LOCH SENULANPA
Included on the 1991 album “PEDESTRIAN on the Water.” A five-piece music band formed in 1989 in Osaka Prefecture.
It’s a refreshing mid-tempo track whose clear vocal tone glides pleasantly over a lyrical, melancholic melody line and smoothly flowing rhythm.
Because that’s true, isn’t it!?LINDBERG
Their 16th single “Datte Sou Janai!?” was used as the commercial song for Fujifilm’s AXIA J’Z.
Its message—urging us not to forget what’s important even as we step into society and go through changes—may remind you of the reckless passion of your youth.
While the chorus is challenging due to its sustained high tones compared to the lower tones in the A and B sections, the melody itself has few large leaps and is quite simple, making it easy to sing.
It’s a powerful, up-tempo track that really gets things going, especially if you ask friends to join in on the chorus parts.
Let’s fall in love, yeah! Yeah!LINDBERG
Their 10th single, “Koi o Shiyou yo Yeah! Yeah!,” was used as the CF song for a Coca-Cola commercial featuring the members.
It’s the track LINDBERG performed during their sole appearance on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen and is known as one of their signature songs.
The overall melody is simple, making it easy to remember and sing, but be careful with the phrase in the latter half of the chorus that repeatedly features wide interval jumps.
A catchy, up-tempo tune with a driving rock ensemble that’s sure to liven up any karaoke session.
Kiss me right nowLINDBERG
Included on the 1990 album “LINDBERG III.” Theme song for the drama “The One I Love Most in the World!” A four-member rock band formed in 1988.
It’s a straightforward love song: Maki Watase’s vocals cut straight to the heart over a simple, uptempo drum groove and a poppy, catchy, rock-leaning sound.
Captivated by a sparkling momentMANISH
Included on the 1996 album “Cheer!”.
Ending theme for the anime “SLAM DUNK.” A two-member girls’ rock band formed in 1991.
This track is their best-selling single.
It’s an upbeat song with a strong rock flavor and a refreshing, memorable melody.
