Midnight ExpresswayFurawā Kanpanī
A youthful rock anthem brimming with momentum and emotion, painting a grand portrait of life.
Powerfully delivered by The Flower Companyz, this song radiates a warmth that lights a ray of hope in an uncertain life.
Released in September 2004 as a track on the classic album “Setagaya Yoake Mae” (Before Dawn in Setagaya), it has continued to resonate closely with many hearts.
When you stand at a crossroads, when you feel anxious about the future, and for all who are doing their best to live in the present, this is an encouraging song that will gently push you forward.
Beard and Boobsyunikōn
One of Unicorn’s signature works, this song humorously portrays the wavering emotions caught between a salaryman’s job and his love life.
Tamio Okuda’s lyrical world shines as he deftly weaves in modern workplace relationships, from a young company president to the woman at the neighboring desk.
Released in October 1991, the track features an arrangement inspired by the grand sound of Electric Light Orchestra, with a striking use of synthesizers.
As the closing song on the album “Hige to Boin,” it brilliantly conveys the complex feelings of a man who can’t give up on love even while being overwhelmed by work.
It’s a perfect pick for livening up after-work karaoke with colleagues.
MUSIC FOR THE PEOPLEV6
V6, an idol group that was hugely popular from the 1990s to the early 2000s, produced many hit songs.
Among them, the one I especially recommend to men in their 40s for its singability is “MUSIC FOR THE PEOPLE.” Centered on eurobeat, which was the trend at the time, the track features sharp, memorable synthesizers.
In contrast to the sound, the vocal lines are quite restrained, staying within a narrow range throughout.
It’s packed with catchy phrases that anyone can sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
sonetACIDMAN
Within its grand melody, this song holds both the resolve to live boldly and a gentle tenderness.
Set against the vast nature of Hokkaido, it portrays life’s joys and sorrows through the moon and stars shining in the night sky, and the falling rain and snow.
Along the journey of chasing dreams, it leaves a deep afterglow that quietly speaks to the importance of living true to oneself.
The track was pre-released by ACIDMAN in December 2024, with the CD following in January 2025.
Chosen as the ending theme for the final episode of WOWOW’s drama “Renzoku Drama W Golden Kamuy — Hokkaido Tattooed Prisoner Contest Arc,” it is also complemented by striking footage shot on location in Hokkaido by film director Shigeaki Kubo.
When you stand at a crossroads in life or face an important decision, this is a song that will stay close to your heart.
lipsGLAY
An erotic number that captures both aching infatuation and passionate love.
Swept up by irresistible desire, the protagonist’s heart grows increasingly unsettled by feelings for their partner—expressed powerfully against GLAY’s signature, high-velocity sound.
The striking guitar riff and melody sung in a higher key further accentuate the emotions swirling within.
Released in May 1997, the song was used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s “HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP” from April to June of the same year, and became a major hit as the band’s first Oricon No.
