Riu Domura, who is active mainly by releasing music on YouTube, presents a breakup song titled “Memory.” The track centers on a man who has gone through a breakup.

In the first half, he gently sings about looking back on their memories alone; in the second half, he soulfully voices the regret that wells up inside him.

This contrast between the two halves makes the protagonist’s feelings feel even more real.

Also, if you watch the music video, you’ll notice there’s an unexpected twist—that’s another highlight.

It’s a summer song by Yumemiru Adolescence, released as a single in 2018.

The upbeat, refreshing rock-style arrangement fits that world perfectly.

So it’s ideal for anyone who longs for a summer romance.

Listen to this track, and you’ll definitely find yourself wanting a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Eyeless ploverOkawa Eisaku

Upon graduating from high school, I became a disciple of composer Masao Koga, and my debut song was also a revival of a piece by Noboru Kirishima.

Perhaps because I am considered Koga’s last disciple, I have been steadily continuing to sing Koga melodies.

In recent years, I have also been composing under the pen name Ryūhei Chikushi.

memoriesŌtsuki Maki

This work is known as one of Maki Otsuki’s signature songs.

It was chosen in December 1999 as the first ending theme for One Piece, marking Otsuki’s major-label debut.

A nostalgic pop-rock tune, its warm, wistful vocals gently wrap tenderly around memories of days gone by.

In July 2016, an arranged version titled “memories ~17years after~” was also released.

It’s the kind of song that sinks deeply into your heart when you listen to it at dusk.

When it comes to songs from Taiyo ni Hoero! and Detective Conan, it has to be the Katsuo Ohno Band.

Their distinctive sound makes them instantly recognizable.

Katsuo Ohno, who originally belonged to the Takayuki Inoue Band, formed this band in 1980, taking over after the Inoue Band disbanded.

It was around that time that he also inherited the music for Taiyo ni Hoero!.

Born into a musical family—his father a shakuhachi master and his mother a koto player—Ohno graduated from Horikawa Music School.

I hope he continues to create music that remains in the hearts of the Japanese people forever.
