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.

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.

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.

confessionHirai Ken

This is a song by Ken Hirai that explores themes of deep despair and unrequited love.

Released in May 2012 as his 35th single, it poignantly depicts, from a woman’s perspective, the anguish and sorrow of yearning for love that remains out of reach.

Chosen as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “The W’s Tragedy,” it reached No.

5 on the Oricon weekly chart.

It’s a piece we hope will resonate with anyone who has suffered through a love that could not be fulfilled.

At the end of the wildernesssanbika

Among Christmas hymns, this piece is particularly festive and filled with joy.

Its origins lie in a carol sung in France around 1805, and it became widely known in English in 1862.

In Japan, it is familiar as Hymn No.

Beginning with a quiet scene of the sun setting over the wilderness, the lyrics depict angels’ voices echoing through the mountains, calling to mind the biblical account of the birth of Jesus.

The chorus, with its beautiful “Gloria,” continues to be sung in church Christmas services and choirs today.

With its gentle tempo, it is easy to sing and well loved by older generations.

It’s a perfect choice for those who wish to savor the true meaning of Christmas quietly and spend the time with a calm heart.
