Kariyushi58’s iconic and popular songs (31–40)

Oh! Todaykariyushi 58

This song is the second track on the sixth album, “Daikinboshi” (“Major Triumph”).

Having big goals in life is wonderful, but the determination to make today the best it can be is just as important.

Listen to this when you wake up and start your day with a fresh mindset!

This song, which opens with a slightly oriental-feeling guitar riff, was written in the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, inspired by an email from a friend who was forced to flee Namie, Fukushima.

Personally, the vocals right before the chorus move me deeply.

Also, pay attention to the unison between the bass and guitar in the interlude!

This is the final track on their second album, “Deeji, Kariyushi,” released on April 8, 2009.

Set to a medium-tempo reggae groove, it sends a positive message to you.

It’s a song that makes you think, “I wish I could keep this kind of mindset toward others!”

Sharala Tiarakariyushi 58

Shalala Tiara is a song that could only have been created by Kariyushi58, a band rooted in Okinawa.

The track is themed around Okinawa’s coral reefs.

Throughout the song, it paints a picture of beautiful coral and conveys the message that “the coral has watched over us in every era.” Listening to it will not only let you feel the charm of Okinawa, but also make you want to cherish nature even more.

Be sure to check out the trailer where the members show off the choreography—you’ll definitely want to try it yourself.

One of the songs that left a strong impression on fans is “Bandwagon.” Released to mark Kariyushi 58’s 13th debut anniversary, it drew attention for its slow tempo and weighty sound, which differed from their previous work.

The lyrics depict human loneliness and despair, as well as the strength to keep going despite it all.

The more someone has experienced setbacks, the more they can empathize with the song.

It’s also appealing that the band has embedded a message of “Let’s keep going together.”

Kariyushi58’s classic and popular songs (41–50)

Picnickariyushi 58

It is included as the 12th track on the third album “Mensore, Kariyushi,” released on August 11, 2010, and the original song is the English folk tune “The Picnic.” With a light, up-tempo, catchy arrangement, it’s a song that practically makes you want to whistle! It has also been used as the commercial song for the Shinken Zemi Elementary Course.

Yukui Utakariyushi 58

This is a song included on the seventh album, “Kawari Yoshi, Kawari Nashi.” It seems to sing about a friend living away from Okinawa.

I’m moved by the feeling of longing for a friend—“let’s hang out when you get back.” The music video is also wonderful, featuring the smiling, beautiful people of Okinawa.
