Peppermint candyKinKi Kids
Released in August 2003, this is KinKi Kids’ 18th single.
Chosen as the theme song for the TBS drama “Moto Kare” starring Tsuyoshi Domoto, it’s a gem of a love ballad where poetic lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto beautifully meld with the clear, luminous melodies crafted by Nordic composers.
While apologizing for past mistakes, the lyrics quietly sing of unwavering love for one’s destined partner, using the fragile motif of a candy to express both the sweetness and the ache of romance.
The single topped the Oricon weekly chart, sold a cumulative 388,000 copies, and ranked 13th on the year-end chart.
It’s a classic that presents a mature, romantic world, highlighted by the duo’s perfectly blended harmonies.
We’ve been in the highlights all along.SCANDAL
Born at the milestone of the band’s 17th year, this track—written and composed by MAMI—is a rock number with profound meaning that reexamines the bond between the band and their fans.
The lyrics carry a resolve to shoulder both the past and the future, along with a wish that the moments spent with listeners will be the highlights of life.
Riding on a driving, dynamic band ensemble, the song powerfully conveys gratitude for everything so far and a determination to look ahead.
Released as a single in October 2023, it was first performed at the band’s 17th-anniversary event held at Namba Hatch in Osaka in August of the same year.
It’s a number that longtime supporters and those discovering SCANDAL for the first time alike should definitely hear.
H.A.N.A.B.I ~The Summer You Were There~ZONE
A summer rock number that blends a driving sense of speed with a poignant ache, as if awakening the faint stirrings of first love slumbering deep in the heart.
The Hokkaido-born girls’ band ZONE released it in 2003 as their 10th major-label single.
Its lyrics, which capture fleeting yet cherished moments of love against summer scenes—fireworks, sunsets, and shrine stone steps—resonate no matter how old you are.
Issued as a strictly limited-edition run of 100,000 copies with six tracks, including solo arrangements for each member, it reached No.
3 on the Oricon weekly chart and was certified Gold.
Though it had no tie-ins, it became a classic on the strength of the song alone, winning over many listeners’ hearts.
It’s a track you’ll want to play when that sudden end-of-summer loneliness hits, or when you feel like remembering who you were back then.
Happinessarashi
Arashi’s 20th single, released in September 2007 as the theme song for the drama “Yamada Taro Monogatari,” starring Kazunari Ninomiya and Sho Sakurai.
The lyrics convey the strength to face forward and start running even against a headwind, and the courage to step into a new place without being bound by the past.
Rather than direct encouragement, it’s a supportive song that gently stays by your side and gives you a soft push.
Its charm also lies in the sparkling, guitar-driven sound with a refreshing arrangement woven with rhythmic brass.
It’s become a staple cheer song for high school baseball, and if everyone belts it out together at karaoke or in a medley, it’s sure to get people excited regardless of age or gender!
First LoveFukuyama Masaharu
Masaharu Fukuyama’s 25th single, released in December 2009.
Although it was not originally planned to be released as a single, the song drew such a strong response after being used in a commercial for Toshiba’s REGZA LCD TVs that it was hastily put out as a single.
The work’s theme is “beautiful memories,” singing of feelings that can never return but continue to live on in the heart.
The choice to write the title as “Hatsukoi” in hiragana rather than the usual kanji for “first love” suggests Fukuyama’s intent to idealize delicate memories of the past.
With a heartrending melody and arrangements that reflect the beauty of memory, this song resonates deeply—highly recommended for anyone who treasures precious memories.
