Season in the SunTUBE
The commercial song for Kirin Lemon.
When I first heard this track, I thought, wow, what an incredibly skilled vocalist has appeared.
Above all, it simply feels great to listen to.
For a while they kept releasing summer songs and were called the band to follow Southern All Stars as a summer icon.
I don’t think we’ll see many vocalists with this level of singing ability.
WomanNakanishi Keizō
This is Keizo Nakanishi’s third single.
It became a breakthrough hit for him, and was later tied up as the theme for a Camelia Diamond commercial.
Thanks to the commercial, it became widely known, and its beautiful lyrics addressed to women are also memorable.
Two People’s Summer StorySugiyama Kiyotaka
A hit song by Kiyotaka Sugiyama & Omega Tribe.
Its stylish phrases and flowing melody were composed and written by Chinfa Kan and Tetsuji Hayashi.
When I listen to this song, it feels like nostalgic summer memories come rushing back.
I remember hearing it on music shows and around town back in the day, and it makes me want to listen again to that refreshing, pleasant voice and melody.
Wax MuseumSeikima II
At the time of their debut, people thought they were a joke band, but they became a hot topic thanks to their high level of musicianship and their bona fide hard rock sound.
They’re not just about appearances—the substance is there, too.
In particular, the vocalist, Demon Kogure, not only has outstanding singing ability but also shows deep appreciation for those who attend their ‘masses’ (live shows), making it clear he’s no ordinary performer.
STAY TUNESuchmos
Suchmos is a six-member male band from Chigasaki, Yokohama.
They debuted in 2013, and their second single was selected as the commercial song for Honda’s VEZEL.
Their songs, which use both Japanese and English lyrics, convey a cool, urban appeal.
When you listen, you can feel rock within a funky groove, with a jazzy touch—an enviable band that brings together many different elements.
By the time of the Christmas carolsInagaki Junichi
This is Junichi Inagaki’s 27th single, a Christmas song that conveys a man’s desire for a couple stuck in a rut to reexamine their relationship.
It was the theme song for the TBS drama “Homework.” It became a million-seller according to both the Recording Industry Association of Japan and Oricon.
It has been covered by artists such as Li-zell, Water, and Raymond Choi.
