Close your eyesHirai Ken
It became a huge topic as the theme song for the film “Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World.” I loved this movie too, so I remember it every time I hear this song.
Sung from a man’s perspective to someone precious to him, it’s a love-filled song that brings me to tears.
Ken Hirai’s clear, pure voice is a perfect fit.
Broken RadioTokunaga Hideaki
It has become one of Hideaki Tokunaga’s signature songs, released in the ’90s.
Tokunaga has covered many ballads, but I love this cool, understated one.
It honestly portrays the unstable feelings of adolescence.
The noun “radio” really gives it a sense of the era.
Far, far awayMakihara Noriyuki
Although it was originally an album track, being featured in a commercial brought it to widespread attention.
The lyrics, written with a friend in mind, are truly heartwarming.
It’s a song I’d love friends who are dear to us—even when we’re apart—to listen to.
It’s also perfect for the autumn season.
I can’t say it.Gō Hiromi
I don’t know many of Hiromi Go’s songs, but I love this ballad.
It portrays a man’s feelings as he wavers—he loves someone very dearly, yet fears that confessing his feelings might ruin their relationship.
Hiromi Go’s sexy vocals make it resonate even more deeply.
Brother ShipsToba Ichirō
It was released in 1982 as Ichirou Toba’s debut single.

It is one of Ichirou Toba’s signature songs, and with this track he received awards such as the All-Japan Cable Broadcasting Grand Prize and the First-Half Encouragement Prize/Newcomer Award.
