SHOW-GO, who continues to pioneer new frontiers of musical expression through beatboxing.

Released in March 2025, Freesia is a work that truly showcases his virtuosity.

The lyrics, themed around freedom and self-expression, are genuinely uplifting.

SomedaySano Motoharu

Motoharu Sano - SOMEDAY - Motoharu Sano

If I were to force a translation, it might be “Someday.” It’s a signature example of Motoharu Sano’s hallmark, syllable-overflow rock ’n’ roll.

The way the inserted English lyrics rhyme is also superb.

It seems to sing about a constrained past, yet you can also feel the struggle to break free from it, so I’ve taken it as a song that seeks freedom.

Takuro Yoshida knowledge

This song is included on the 1975 album “Jinsei wo Katarazu” (“Don’t Speak of Life”).

It was also used as the opening number in concerts.

Despite its stiff-sounding title, it’s a powerful message song—almost angry—urging listeners to break free from knowledge and live with a liberated soul.

Birdsong

This piece is striking for its quiet acoustic guitar tones and Cocco’s delicate yet resolute vocals.

Close your eyes and you can almost see a bluebird dancing in your heart, taking flight into a boundless sky.

You may find yourself moved by its poetic worldview, imbued with prayers for release from stifling confines and for renewal.

The song was used symbolically in the documentary film “To Be Okay — Cocco’s Endless Journey.” The recording was originally released in November 2009 as a bonus with the first-edition DVD of the film, and it was later included on the best-of album “The Best.” It’s the perfect track for a night when you want to quietly face yourself.
