Heisei IdealismElefanto Kashimashi

Included on the album “Kaze,” released on September 29, 2004.

As the opening track, it makes a powerful impact.

The song’s development is skillful, making dynamic use of tempo and intensity, and despite its length it never bores the listener.

The snake is all the way inside.Bugi-ren

Boogie Ren’s song depicts snakes slowly creeping into the house, under the covers, and even into dreams.

Hiroto Kōmoto’s vocals and Kantaro Uchida’s guitar create a distinctive atmosphere that evokes the blues tradition.

The track is included on the album “Boogie Ren,” released in June 2019.

It’s said to draw inspiration from John Brim’s “Rattlesnake.” It’s perfect for those interested in the world of blues or who enjoy uniquely imaginative lyrics.

It might be nice to listen to it alone on a quiet night.

The second title with “Bob” in the name—known among Hara-Peko fans as part of the “Bob Series”—is Healthy Bob, the sequel to the previous Abara Bob.

It’s included on the 2004 album Crap Record.

Though the track charges forward with an aggressive feel, it’s actually a song about dieting.

The lyrics come off like someone who’s health-conscious and restricting their meals.

Listening to it might make you think you should go on a diet, too!

heronYamashita Tatsuro

When it comes to music that blends seamlessly into various Japanese situations, Tatsuro Yamashita comes to mind.

“Heron,” meaning great blue heron, is his 30th single, released in 1998, and it seems it was used as the song for a Kirin Lager Beer commercial around the time of the Nagano Winter Olympics.

While it doesn’t explicitly mention winter, its atmosphere of heading toward dawn and its rhythmic groove feel like a perfect match for the refreshing lift you want from winter sports.

It has that comfortable quality that would slip right in even if it started playing as background music on the ski slopes.

Unchanging ThingsYamazaki Tomoko

Omoi de ga Ippai, which was used as the theme song for the anime Miyuki depicting youthful romance, was released by the music duo H2O in 1983, a group that gained attention for their twin-vocal sound.

The song portrays a young woman embarking on a new chapter, and its lyrics—evoking scenes set in schools like classrooms and hallways—resonate deeply.

Set to a melody line that conveys both beauty and bittersweetness, it’s a piece that sings of youth.

Dividing parts into lead vocal, harmony, and chorus delivers an even richer sound.

Be sure to try singing this graduation song that lets you keep precious memories in your heart.
