It’s a song that makes you feel you can’t go wrong by listening to it.

Included on the 1993 album “Yureru Omoi.” A music unit formed around Izumi Sakai, who debuted in 1991.

It’s a classic pep song used in many situations, led by the slogan “Love Saves the Earth.” From the hard-edged guitar intro, the melody unfolds at a mid-tempo pace, and over it Izumi Sakai’s vocals resound with encouragement.

Even now, it’s undeniably a masterpiece.

A single released in ’89.

Theme song for the drama “Mamahaha Boogie.” A four-member group formed in ’83.

The rhythm and melody unfold quietly from the intro, then surge and build rapidly at the chorus.

Within that progression, the vocalist’s husky voice, delivered with a hard-edged intensity, leaves a strong impression.
