I should be able to fly (in the sky).supittsu

This is a classic song by Spitz that was used as the theme song for the coming-of-age drama Hakusen Nagashi, starring Tomoya Nagase from TOKIO, Miki Sakai, Takashi Kashiwabara, and others.
The melody and lyrics of the chorus are so pleasant to listen to, aren’t they? It’s one of those timeless masterpieces loved across generations.
Don’t give upZARD

It’s the marathon theme song for “24-Hour Television.” Before that, it was also used in the drama “Reiko Shiratori Desu.” It’s said to have been created as a cheer song, and unlike typical love songs, it feels less like “I love you” and more like “to the you I love.” From her perspective, she offers words of encouragement, as if watching over you, and that atmosphere makes it a deeply moving song.
StoryAI

What’s great about this song is that it isn’t just about a man protecting a woman; it also sings about the woman protecting the man.
Rather than only being protected, the idea that both can protect each other—albeit in different ways—makes for a very good relationship, doesn’t it? It’s a classic that has been covered by many artists and is a staple at karaoke.
Get WildTM NETWORK

It’s a song famous as a theme from the anime City Hunter, a classic in the technopop world, and one of Tetsuya Komuro’s signature masterpieces.
In 2017, an album featuring only this song was released with many artists participating, but in a surprising turn of events, an unexpected overlap occurred among the contributions.
Close your eyesHirai Ken

It’s the theme song of the film “Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World.” It’s a ballad that mourns the loss of a dearest loved one, expressing the inability to move on, yet also the strength to walk forward by drawing on the power received from that person.
I think it’s a song that teaches us we can transform many kinds of farewells—not only to lovers but also to parents, pets, mentors, and more—into strength.
secret base ~What You Gave Me~ZONE

It became a huge hit as the theme song for the drama Kids War 3.
By the way, although ZONE eventually disbanded, just as the lyrics say “in August, ten years from now,” they made a comeback ten years later—albeit for a limited time—which was an irresistible treat for fans.
