Released in July 2025 as his 131st single, it fully showcases his signature “Mori-bushi” style.
It’s a masterpiece not only for longtime fans, but also for anyone standing at a turning point in life.
Beautiful in the past, beautiful nowBEGIN
A heartwarming island song by BEGIN, filled with the soothing tones of the sanshin that seep into your soul.
The lyrics lovingly depict the everyday lives of our grandparents’ era and the island’s abundant nature, stirring a deep sense of nostalgia in listeners.
Carried by a gentle melody, the message to cherish both the timeless beauty of the past and the beauty that exists here and now comes through clearly.
First included on the album “Ongaku Brigades II,” released in June 1997, the song was later featured on “BEGIN no Shimauta ~Omoto Takeo~.” It’s perfect for those moments when, living far from home, you suddenly find yourself longing for the old days.
When you seek peace of mind amid a busy life, why not lend an ear to these tender tones?

Junko Yanagisawa made a striking debut under the stylish catchphrase “Showa Genroku Karaoke Girl.” Appearing in 1983 as an ‘enka idol,’ she quickly became a household favorite thanks to her endearing charm and assured vocal ability.
Her talent was beyond doubt, as shown by the many newcomer awards she won right after debuting.
Her activities have been impressively wide-ranging, including performing anime theme songs.
She has continually challenged herself with new forms of expression—why not follow the path she’s carved out?

In response to the controversy surrounding her creation, Nina Utashiro fired back head-on with music.
This track deftly weaves Japanese and English over a hard-edged beat, slamming down her noble pride as an artist.
The fact that she released this answer song just a week after the lead track dropped speaks volumes about her extraordinary resolve.
Seeing her stand up to what feels unjust will surely give courage to many.

This is a single by GRANRODEO that was used as the opening theme for Saiyuki RELOAD BLAST.
The introductory guitar riff is cool and full of speed.
You can also sense a Chinese-inspired flavor.
It’s a powerful, fiery sound.
MU-JOYashiro Aki
MU-JO is a work distinguished by its passionate guitar intro.
Aki Yashiro is known for her diverse vocal style that incorporates jazz, blues, and chanson, but among those, this piece stands out for its soulful vocals.
In terms of genre, it’s like a blend of Showa-era kayōkyoku and rock, while the vocals exhibit characteristics of blues and soul.
Although the track has a strong, powerful feel, the overall vocal range is kept relatively narrow, and there are few long sustained notes.
Despite its intensity, the vocals themselves are rather straightforward, making it unquestionably an easy song to sing.
MUGO… so sexyKudō Shizuka
This is a striking song featuring lyrics that depict the emotions of a woman carrying feelings she can’t put into words.
Released in August 1988, it was also used as the promotional image song for Kanebo’s ’88 autumn campaign.
It conveys the importance of nonverbal communication and skillfully portrays the passionate emotions held within.
Shizuka Kudo’s vocals and Miyuki Nakajima’s lyrics blend beautifully, resulting in a track filled with deep emotion.
It’s a moving masterpiece that I’d recommend to anyone harboring unspoken feelings or struggling with love.
