One-room DiscoPerfume

[Official Music Video] Perfume “One-Room Disco”

It’s a song with the theme of starting a new life in a new place in spring.

But the lyrics are a bit suggestive; rather than simply leaving one’s parents’ home to begin a new life, it’s a bittersweet song that, as the phrase “half a life” suggests, carries the meaning that something which used to be “one” has been split in two.

Remioromen – Konayuki (Translation/English Subtitled)

This song became Remioromen’s biggest hit.

It was used as an insert song in the drama “1 Litre of Tears,” and whenever it played during the tear-jerking scenes, I couldn’t help but burst into tears again.

It matched the drama perfectly.

“Goodbye is an August lullaby.”Yoshikawa Koji

KOJI KIKAWA SAYONARA HACHIGATSU NO RARABAI (SUBTITULADO )

This song was released as Ms.

Kikkawa’s second single.

Speaking of Ms.

Kikkawa, there are countless anecdotes about her, and even now she still shows off her cymbal kick at concerts.

Recently she has also been very active as an actress, but last year she broke her leg while filming a movie.

The subsequent concerts were performed with her holding a cane and resting her leg on a round stool, yet her movement was so natural that it was truly moving.
