Lovely hit song

Resonates across generations! Hit songs that colored the Heisei era, perfect as BGM

From the 1990s to the 2000s—often called the era when CDs sold the most in J-pop history.

And the 2010s, when the Reiwa era began in 2019.

The Heisei era, which produced countless hit songs, feels both nostalgic and somehow quite recent, doesn’t it?

This time, we’re introducing songs released during the Heisei era that are perfect for background music.

We’ve gathered tracks that people across many generations are likely to know, so they’re great both for enjoying your alone time and for playing as a medley at events!
