A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

When introducing TOKIO’s songs, there’s no way we can leave out this jewel of a ballad! It’s one of the group’s masterpieces—a beautifully mellow love ballad.

Delicate guitar tones gently intertwine with vocals that are sweet yet tinged with sadness.

The song is written from the perspective of a shy man, and the way it carefully portrays the wavering of a heart in love is truly captivating, don’t you think? Released in February 1999, it also served as the theme song for their flagship variety show and was included on the acclaimed album “YESTERDAY & TODAY.” It’s a track that stays close to your heart on quiet nights when you’re thinking of someone special.

Toshihiko Tahara, who debuted with “Aishu de Ito” in 1980, took the nation by storm as a male idol.

Riding the momentum of late-’80s hits like “Dakishimete TONIGHT” and “Gomen yo Namida,” he released “Ame ga Sakenderu” in 1992, a Japanese cover of Mr.

Zhivago’s “Tell by Your Eyes.” It became a classic that matched the mood of the drama it was tied to, selling over 200,000 copies.
