HERCULESParachute

Masaki Matsubara / HERCULES / PARACHUTE
HERCULESParachute

PARACHUTE is a long-running fusion band that has been active since 1979.

They debuted as a unit with the catchphrase “Music is a sport,” featuring members Tatsuo Hayashi, Nobu Saito, Mike Dunn, Masaki Matsubara, Tsuyoshi Kon, Yoshihiko Ando, and Izumi Kobayashi.

Later, Akira Inoue joined in place of Kobayashi.

Although they proclaim “Music is a sport,” the group gives the impression of a relatively calm and mature ensemble.

In 2016, Matsubara passed away suddenly, which surely came as a shock to many fans.

Hey,Brother-remix ver,B- RIP SLYME(Blackjazzy Remix)
Hey,BrotherRIP SLYME

This is RIP SLYME’s “Hey, Brother,” the theme song for the 2006 film Mamiya Brothers.

The word “brothers” is right there in the title, so yes—it’s a song about brothers.

Songs about siblings often lean into nostalgia and sentimentality, but this one delivers a characteristically RIP SLYME take: a track about brothers that exudes a languid, grown-up vibe.

Hey! I Love You!Rage

Lazy (JPN) – Hey! I Love You!
Hey! I Love You!Rage

Released in July 1977, this was Lazy’s debut single, and it was also included on their first album, “This is the LAZY,” released in March 1978.

The band, which had a strong inclination toward Western rock bands, made their debut after catching the eye of Hiroshi Kamayatsu (a former member of The Spiders) during a TV appearance in 1977.

While many of their singles, including this song, have an idol-oriented sound, their live performances often feature arrangements in rock or metal styles.

Hey Boy,Hey GirlSEAMO feat.BoA

This is a song included on SEAMO’s third album, “Round About,” released in November 2007.

Featuring the popular Japanese-Korean artist BoA as a guest, it’s a collaborative love song where SEAMO’s light, upbeat rap pairs well with BoA’s beautiful vocals.

The assertive lyrics are also notable: while he expresses the feeling that “you should be with me,” the line in which she says she wants to look at him more objectively leaves a strong impression.

Hey HoSEKAI NO OWARI

SEKAI NO OWARI is a four-member mixed-gender band that captivates fans with lyrics spanning from the minimal to the global.

Their 10th major single, “Hey Ho,” was released as a support single for the zero animal euthanasia project “Bremen.” The lyrics depict the difficulty of taking action for someone else, and the reality that there are still beings calling for help—words that may make many listeners stop and think.

It’s a song about the weight of life, where a strong message contrasts with a pop ensemble that tightens the chest.

SOFFet – Umbilical Cord (Official Video)

Formed by childhood friends since their elementary school days, SOFFet is a two-member music group in which each member handles songwriting, vocals, and instrument performance.

This is their seventh single.

The track features piano and strings, and the gentle melody and rap feel so pleasant, don’t they? The lyrics weave a message of gratitude to a mother—something that becomes harder to express out loud as we grow up—and many listeners will likely see themselves in it.

It’s a moving masterpiece that will make many people feel like they want to go see their mothers just by listening.
