CHANCE!UVERworld
UVERworld’s second single, released on October 26, 2005.
So powerful it transcends time, bursting with hope-filled energy! It’s never too late! No matter the moment, your age, or when you listen, these words feel fitting and resonant.
A true UVERworld encouragement anthem!
beautiful womanchanmina
Included in the album “Harenchi,” this track is infused with Chanmina’s strong will.
It powerfully sings about the importance of loving yourself without being swayed by society’s values when it comes to the definition of beauty.
Released in October 2021, the song is a wholehearted piece born from Chanmina’s past experiences.
It’s truly an energizing anthem that gives a boost to women looking to strengthen their self-esteem.
Especially when you feel like you’re losing yourself in the busyness of everyday life, why not listen to this song and reclaim your true self?
Madly in love with one eyeJenīhai
Although it’s a band born from a TV show project, the result is absolutely top-notch.
With a first-rate producer and a first-rate pianist in the lineup, perhaps their success is only natural.
I really hope this band, whose songs are so pleasing to the ear, doesn’t end with this one-off—so they’re my top recommendation.
Gather round! Party people!Yabai T-shatsu Yasan
When I listen to this song, I feel like you can get through life without overthinking.
Even the unpleasant and tough things start to seem manageable.
I recommend it for ordinary women who want to get into a party mood.
You can use it in many situations—like when you have no particular purpose, drinking beer at an izakaya, or when you run out of songs to sing at karaoke.
(RE)PLAYMiura Daichi
Daichi Miura is a late bloomer who finally broke through, but I always wondered why the world didn’t recognize him sooner when he’s this cool.
Watching this music video made me want to learn to dance.
True to its title, I ended up replaying this music video over and over.
I can see why Okamura fell for him.
Haikara-san: Here Comes Miss ModernMinamino Yoko
Released in December 1987, this was Yoko Minamino’s 10th single.
It served as the theme song for the film “Haikara-san ga Tōru.” Since the film is set in the Taisho era, the song carries a Taisho-romance vibe—a dignified yet cute love song! It’s an upbeat track that makes you feel lively and even a bit gallant!
Get fired upDaikoku Maki
The 14th single, released on July 8, 1996.
The opening flurry of notes is startling, the soaring high tones are astonishing, and then it charges ahead with hyper power—a blazing hot power song! It’s one of Maki Ohguro’s fiery tracks that ignites the passion to make a change.
