Embracing SummerTUBE

With a sound that evokes clear blue skies and a shining sun, this is a quintessential summer song from TUBE.

It expresses a love so intense it keeps you up at night, conveyed through passionate lyrics and melody.

The protagonist’s once-in-a-lifetime feelings are sure to awaken bittersweet memories of love that many have experienced.

Released in May 1994, it was a massive hit, reaching No.

1 on the Oricon charts and selling 940,000 copies.

It was also featured in a Toyota Corolla Ceres commercial and has become a karaoke staple beloved by many.

It’s the perfect track for reminiscing with close friends or colleagues as you look back together on life’s milestones.

This classic song, which celebrates an eternal bond with a loved one, gently conveys the idea that love, precisely because it has no form, cannot be broken.

Its strong feelings of thinking about someone across physical distance resonate in the heart alongside beautiful harmonies.

Released in August 2000, the song stayed on the Oricon charts for an impressive 44 weeks and was also used as the opening theme for TV Tokyo’s “JAPAN COUNTDOWN.” One of its charms lies in the variety of arrangements unique to The Gospellers, such as the “Album Version” on the album Soul Serenade and the “unplugged live version” included on the single Hitori.

It remains a beloved track—one you’ll want to sing after chatting with friends, as you think of someone dear to you.

This is the fourth song released exclusively as a digital single by Southern All Stars, released in July 2023.

It’s one of their signature summer tunes, featuring a slightly bouncy, funky beat that really stands out! For many men in their 40s as of 2023, the phrase “summer means Southern!!” probably rings true.

The vocal melody doesn’t cover a very wide range, and the tune itself is easy to sing along to casually, so even those who don’t often have chances to sing or who feel they’re not good at singing should find it very singable.

The key to making it sound good is to avoid letting the rhythm of your singing become flat.

Beard and Boobsyunikōn

One of Unicorn’s signature works, humorously portraying the wavering emotions between a salaryman’s job and love.

Tamio Okuda’s lyrical world shines as it deftly weaves in modern workplace dynamics, from a young company president to the woman at the next desk.

Released in October 1991, the song features an arrangement inspired by the grand sound of Electric Light Orchestra, with striking synthesizers.

As the closing track of the album “Hige to Boin,” it brilliantly captures the complex feelings of a man who can’t give up on love even while being consumed by work.

A perfect song to fire up a post-work karaoke session with colleagues.

HouyouKawaharada Shinichi

This is the sixth single overall by singer and actor Shinichi Kawaharada, released in November 2021.

As for Kawaharada, who performs this song—actually, this track was produced by me.

I handled the composition, arrangement, keyboard performance, and direction during recording.

In creating it, I focused on crafting a melody that’s easy to sing, since the song is meant first and foremost for Kawaharada, whose main profession is acting.

I believe it will be easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident in their singing.

Try to keep a gentle touch throughout the entire song!

The Beatles I saw were inside the TV.Saitō Kazuyoshi

It’s a message song that sings, with both irony and sincerity, about one’s feelings toward the era they live in—an honest, true-to-life piece.

“The Beatles I Saw Were on TV” is the debut single, released in 1993.

After appearing on the music audition program “Saturday My Family’s TV: Yuji Miyake’s Tenka Gomen ne!”, Saito won the right to make a major-label debut, and this was the track that came out of it.

The song carries a bittersweet mood, yet somehow leaves you feeling refreshingly clear at the end.

It’s a male-vocal number, but I think it’s easy for women to sing as well.

I think quite a few people have had the experience of thinking, “I can’t put it into words, but I just really like this person.” The third single, ‘Kimi no Kao ga Suki da,’ released in 1994, was featured in heavy rotation on radio stations at the time and became a hot topic.

Because the lyrics are so straightforward and unadorned—single-minded, even—you can’t help but trust that the singer really means it.

Maybe being this direct actually feels more human and appealing.

How about trying it at karaoke with your partner?
