Music ForeverHigashida Tomohiro

Tomohiro Higashida was born in Kumamoto and still lives there.
You’ll be captivated by his gentle, sultry voice and melodies.
A singer-songwriter who loves surfing, snowboarding, and traveling, he continues to share “LOVE & FREEDOM” through his songs.
The melodies and messages he creates, drawn from life amid Kumamoto’s great outdoors and from his travel experiences, are part of his appeal.
As he respects John Lennon and Bob Marley, you can sense their subtle influence in his music.
Get Myself BackAmuro Namie
This is my favorite song by Namie Amuro.
It’s the kind of track that makes you think, “Summer is here!”—perfect for listening at the beach or while looking out at the ocean.
Speaking of Amuro-chan, she has an amazing figure, sings well, can dance, appears on fashion magazine covers, and has a timeless beauty and cuteness.
Her ability to maintain her style is incredible—you’d never guess she’s a mom.
I’ve been to her concert, and because she doesn’t rely on arrangements or heavy processing, you can experience Amuro-chan exactly as she is on the CD.
Lovely Day, Lovely Place.Hirai Dai

Hirai Dai is a singer-songwriter whose gentle, surf music-based sound is gaining attention, especially among younger listeners.
Opening his digitally released EP “SURF & TURF,” “Lovely Day, Lovely Place.” offers a soothing, organic sound that evokes the ocean.
The lyrics, which capture everyday moments with someone special, remind us that happiness can be found close at hand.
With its light, shuffle-beat rhythm, it’s a track that simply makes you feel warm and at ease just by listening.
STAND BY MEATSUSHI

ATSUSHI from EXILE has a new band.
The song starts with the sound of waves and a gentle melody, and Atsushi’s soft voice is soothing and healing.
EXILE is currently on hiatus, and ATSUSHI is studying abroad in the U.S.
In the midst of that, this new band makes its debut.
When I heard the name, I didn’t know who it was, but when I watched the music video, I was surprised.
While EXILE has a lot of dance music, Stand by me felt fresh.
I hope they keep singing songs like this.

Traces of a DreamOVERGROUND ACOUSTIC UNDERGROUND

This song that played in the commercial—it’s the kind of track you want to listen to while drinking coffee by a sunlit window in the morning.
The melody sticks in your ears and makes you want to replay it over and over; the phrases linger in your head, and the gentle voice left a strong impression.
I didn’t know it was a group combining BRAHMAN and Akeboshi, and I was surprised when I found out TOSHI-LOW was the vocalist.
It has a certain nostalgic charm that you don’t find in BRAHMAN.
