This star, this townShigetaka Takayama
The ending theme of Rescue Squadron GoGoFive, which aired in 1999, is a track that superbly elevates the series’ core theme of rescue.
Narutaka Takayama’s clear, powerful vocals carefully voice the resolve to protect the city and everyday life together with one’s teammates, combining heroic exhilaration with a familial warmth.
With lyrics by Shoko Fujibayashi, composition by Shinsuke Kazato, and arrangement by Toshihiko Sahashi, this accomplished lineup skillfully weaves brass and strings to achieve both brisk freshness and an embracing inclusiveness.
Released as an 8cm CD single by Nippon Columbia in February 1999, the song was later included on the 30th-anniversary single re-edit compilation and has remained a staple of Sentai songs.
It’s an uplifting anthem that will resonate with anyone who has memories of watching with family on Sunday mornings or who loves stories of teams facing hardships together!
Bridge of Gloryyuzu
Yuzu are big stars now, but in the beginning they performed live on the streets.
Their 21st single, “Eikou no Kakehashi” (“Bridge of Glory”), is a song I want you to listen to when you feel like your heart is about to break.
When things are painful no matter how hard you try, this song cheers you on, telling you that there’s light beyond the suffering.
That’s why it’s great to play before a club match or any time you want everyone to overcome a hurdle together—it turns past hardships into strength and boosts your motivation.
If you ever need the strength to keep going, please give it a listen.
With a barefoot heartKisamiryuu
This is the ending theme that sings of the strength and kindness of warriors who live in harmony with nature.
Composed by Ryu Kisami, it was included on a single released in 1998 and aired as the ending theme song for the TV Asahi tokusatsu drama Seijuu Sentai Gingaman.
Words evoking nature—like the sun and the wind—are repeated, and the lyrics compellingly embody the concept of forest warriors.
Centered on guitar-driven rock, the layered choruses give the track a sense of expansiveness.
It’s a song I’d love you to listen to when you want to cheer someone on who’s giving it their all.
ultramarineYOASOBI
YOASOBI’s fifth single “Gunjou,” which shot them to fame after they formed in 2019.
Every YOASOBI song hits the heart right on target, but this one in particular feels straightforward and saving.
I work hard at studying and club activities because I have to, of course.
But when life is full of things I’m supposed to do, I don’t have the courage or confidence to do what I love and want to do.
In those moments, this song lifts my motivation from the soul, telling me from the bottom of my heart to go do what I love and want to do.
It’s a highly recommended track.
