KISS MEHimuro Kyosuke
Included on the 1993 album “Memories Of Blue.” Used in a commercial for Boutique JOY.

It’s a cool-sounding track, featuring an up-tempo, aggressive rhythm and a melody grounded in a lyrical, melancholic rock sound.
Burning HeroOkita Hiroyuki
A towering landmark of anime songs that sings of dreams and passion over samba rhythms and a catchy melody! This masterpiece briskly and humorously portrays the presence, skill, and influence of an ace player.
Hiroyuki Okita’s refreshing vocals brilliantly capture the allure of soccer and the throbbing energy of youth.
Released in 1983 as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo anime Captain Tsubasa, it became a classic that helped spark the soccer boom.
In 2018, it was remade by Ryuhei Maruyama of Kanjani Eight.
It’s a song that powerfully pushes the backs of everyone striving toward their dreams—not just soccer fans—and one we highly recommend you listen to.
Sake, Tears, Men, and WomenKawashima Eigo
This is a socially conscious masterpiece that portrays the subtle miscommunications between men and women and the nuances of emotional expression with deep insight.
It warmly observes how men open up through drinking and women through tears, each revealing their inner feelings.
Born from impressions Eigo Kawashima had at age 18 during a family memorial gathering, the song was included on the November 1975 album “Jinrui” (Humanity) and released as a single in June 1976.
Also known as the jingle for the sake brand Kizakura, it became a major hit, reaching No.
9 on the Oricon weekly chart.
It is a gem I recommend to anyone who wants to face their heart honestly when confronted with life’s sorrow and poignancy.

Although the lyrics are quite raw and explicit, singing it at karaoke somehow fills you with energy.
It’s an impressive number with an up-tempo, catchy, and aggressive sound.
countrysideTamaki Kōji
This is a gem of a masterpiece by Koji Tamaki, depicting people who, while facing the weaknesses and conflicts hidden within, live with strength.
The song richly portrays life as it is: a solitary soul kicking a stone, eyes gazing at the night sky in prayer, and an oil-stained back fallen silent.
Its melody gently teaches the importance of not overreaching, but simply taking one step at a time and steadily doing what you can.
Released in July 1996, the song was used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Coach” and became a major hit, reaching No.
2 on the Oricon charts.
It’s a track I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who feels lost or anxious in daily life, or who is searching for a way of living that is true to themselves.
Hold Me TonightTahara Toshihiko
Included on the 1988 album “Dancin’.” Theme song for the drama “Kyōshi Binbin Monogatari.” Born in 1961.
An idol singer from Yamanashi Prefecture.
With its upbeat, briskly unfolding rhythm and pop, danceable melody, this is the kind of song that naturally makes your body move as you listen.
Forever YoungTakehara Pisutoru
Takihara Pistol’s classic “Forever Young,” released as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s drama “Byplayers: What if 6 Famous Supporting Actors Lived Together?,” is memorable for its moving lyrics themed around “who we were back then” and its straightforward yet somewhat wistful melody.
The song is also easy to sing, with no particularly challenging parts aside from the long note before the chorus.
That said, it does call for power, so it’s recommended for people with a rich or slightly raspy voice.
