Released in July 1994 as a tie-in song for the animated film Street Fighter II: The Movie, this track—written, composed, and arranged by Tetsuya Komuro and released under the name “Ryoko Shinohara with t.komuro”—became a double-million-selling hit.

Its lyrics interweave three emotions—longing, heartache, and inner strength—expressing the deep bond of a protagonist who believes in someone facing hardship and watches over them.

Beginning with a synthesizer-led intro and building emotionally toward the chorus, the structure showcases the signature allure of the TK sound.

Shinohara’s vocals, combining clarity with resilience, deliver a poignant yet uplifting message with power.

It’s a song emblematic of the karaoke boom era, with a catchy melody that lingers in the heart.

This song, unveiled in Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger, which began airing in March 2024, is the first-ever character-song ending theme in the history of the Super Sentai series.

Sung by Bundolio Bunderas (voiced by Rica Matsumoto), the show’s in-story mechanic, it features choreography you can dance to even while seated and a lively dance-pop sound sprinkled with the onomatopoeic “bun-bun.” Kentaro Sonoda handled the lyrics, composition, and arrangement, delivering a bright message about staying true to yourself that appeals to both kids and adults.

The theme song CD, “Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger Theme Song,” was released in April 2024 and peaked at No.

21 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It was used from episode 2 through episode 43, and again from episode 45 to episode 47, and has become a family favorite that everyone can hum along to.

It’s the perfect track for a morning energy boost or for moving your body together with your kids.

The heart is an egg.Kageyama Hironobu

This is the ending theme that colored the 1991 Super Sentai series.

In contrast to Hironobu Kageyama’s typically powerful vocals, this song stands out for its gentle, embracing delivery.

Loved as the ending for the show Chojin Sentai Jetman, it captivates with a worldview that reflects the heroes’ humanity and inner struggles shown between battles.

The melody carefully conveys the emotional sway of facing anxiety while holding on to hope.

It’s a warm ballad that resonates not only with children but also with adults who were once fascinated by Sentai heroes.

The lingering attachment to a lost love and the ache of remorse are powerfully conveyed.

The lyrics by Ryusei Samejima, music by Seita Minamino, and gentle arrangement by Yukari Sugiyama blend exquisitely.

It’s the perfect song for looking back on a past romance.

Although they are a rock band, Novelbright also enjoys idol-like popularity.

Among both men and women, many people in their teens to early twenties are likely fans.

Their new song “Call me” has a very refreshing melody.

While it’s pleasant to listen to, the difficulty level is quite high: in the repeated chorus sections, there’s a falsetto close to a mixed-voice quality.

For men with a typical vocal range, the hi D# is a pitch that easily flips, making it a high-tone phrase that’s tricky to control.

If you’re confident in your high notes, definitely give it a try.

communicationakai kouen

This song portrays the courage to accept your changing self and take a step toward the future.

It was included on the single “Imasara / Kōshin / Sayonara wa Iwanai,” released in July 2013 when Akai Ko-en announced their return to activity, and was later featured on their first album, “Kōen Debut.” Yosaki Tsuno said that the melody and lyrics came to her naturally while driving to Fukuoka, and the lyrics—like a dialogue between her past self and present self—gently resonate with listeners.

It also drew attention as a tie-in for the TOYOTA × STUDIO4°C animation project “PES NEXT GENERATION,” premiering at the JAPAN EXPO in Paris.

It’s a song that gives you a push when you want to face forward even as you feel bewildered by change.
