[2026] A Collection of Classic J-POP Songs About Hotels [Japanese Music] (31–40)
Hotel NegrescoBORO
Released in 1983, “Negresco Hotel” was also used as a jingle for a soft drink commercial.
The Negresco Hotel is a historic luxury hotel in Nice, France, and its sophisticated furnishings and design are breathtaking.
The feelings of the man trying to reach such a hotel may stem from the hope that something within him will be healed at this high-end hotel.
DesperadoHoney L Days
It’s the theme song for “Hotel Concierge,” starring Mariya Nishiuchi.
The meaning of “desperado” in English is “outlaw, desperado, daredevil,” so it might seem ill-suited as a hotel name.
However, it’s the Japanese version of the 1973 song by the American band the Eagles, and despite the title, it’s a delicate piece.
Monte Carlo of the SunCRAZY KEN BAND
The Rose Hotel that appears in this song has since been bought out multiple times and no longer exists under that name, but as a café of the Rose Hotel, there’s a place with a tongue-twisting name, “Les Thermes Marins de Monte-Carlo,” which, just like the lyrics say, has large windows.
Monaco is one of the world’s premier destinations for the wealthy and is also famous for its races, and Yokoyama Ken’s uniquely tasteful lyrics and stylish music are a perfect fit.
HOTEL PACIFICSazan Ōrusutāzu
HOTEL PACIFIC is modeled after the real “Pacific Hotel Chigasaki.” It’s a place with special meaning for Keisuke Kuwata himself, as he once worked part-time with his band by the hotel pool when he was a student, but it has since been turned into a condominium.
The dance is the same as the “Mōretsu Musume” from the petroleum commercials that were popular during Japan’s period of rapid economic growth, which gives it a somewhat odd vibe, but according to Kuwata, he made it intentionally tacky.
Southern WindNakamori Akina
While a solo trip for a woman abroad is full of dangers, this song overflows with a tropical resort vibe.
Since it’s from 1983, it carries a somewhat luxurious atmosphere.
In this era, Akina tended to have a slightly plump figure, and the contrast between her soft, quiet speaking voice and her resonant low singing voice was part of her appeal.
