NEW KAWAIIFRUITS ZIPPER

The lead track from the album “NEW KAWAII,” released digitally in April 2024.

It carries a message of recognizing the diverse personalities of friends and affirming both their strengths and their awkward sides.

With lyrics and composition by Sho Yamamoto and choreography by Sako Makita, its four-on-the-floor rhythm and uplifting sound make it easy to dance to, and the call-and-response sections are fun as well.

The song won the Excellence Award at the 66th Japan Record Awards and was performed on the TV show “CDTV Live! Live!” Its positive lyrics and catchy choreography are sure to brighten the venue and get the crowd going!

246:3AMInagaki Junichi

Released as a single alongside the debut album in July 1982, this song stands out with its distinctive title that blends National Route 246 and 3 a.m.

The lyrics were written by Reiko Yukawa, the music composed by Kazuhiko Matsuo, and the arrangement handled by Akira Inoue, making it a defining track of Junichi Inagaki’s early AOR sound.

The album features accomplished musicians such as Tsuyoshi Kon and Tatsuo Hayashi, contributing to its sophisticated production.

Its bittersweet melody and restrained vocals harmonize beautifully, capturing the poignancy of the city at night.

Highly recommended for city pop enthusiasts and anyone seeking the roots of early-’80s Japanese-language AOR.

Fujifabric – Niji (Rainbow)
rainbowFujifaburikku

Fujifabric, the legendary band that was hugely active during the Heisei era.

Even after the vocalist Shima passed away, they continued their activities, but they went on hiatus in 2025.

Many of you might feel a lingering attachment and be motivated to sing their songs yourselves.

The track I recommend is Niji (Rainbow).

While the song largely stays in the low-to-mid register, the chorus brings in higher notes.

It has a smooth overall feel, but the highest note reaches hi F#—quite high—and a mixed voice is required toward the end of the chorus.

Ninja! Skyscraper KidsTū Chī Chen

This is the ending theme of Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, a song released in March 1994.

The lyrics were written by Kayoko Fuyu to, the music composed by Takashi TOSHIMI, and the arrangement by Kenji Yamamoto.

It’s a number that rides a lively beat to portray ninjas dashing through the city, with onomatopoeia sprinkled throughout the lyrics leaving a strong impression.

The city-pop-like sound that evokes skyscrapers matches perfectly with the playful wordplay that comically expresses ninja techniques.

It was reissued in March 2006 to commemorate the 30th Super Sentai series and has remained a beloved track for years.

It’s recommended not only for children who love hero shows, but also for adults who watched the program back in the day—a classic that brings both nostalgia and energy!

Ballad of the Rainbow and SnowTo wa e mo wa

1971 Towa et Moi – Ballad of Rainbow and Snow (Single Version)
Ballad of the Rainbow and SnowTo wa e mo wa

The famous song by Towa Teu Moi, created for the 1972 Sapporo Olympics, is a winter anthem that carries hope across the northern land.

Lyricist Bunichiro Kawamura was given three conditions by NHK—“a song that would be sung for many years after the Games,” “a song that expressed the feelings of Sapporo’s citizens,” and “a song ordinary people could easily sing.” After about two weeks of deliberation, he completed the lyrics.

Through the contrasting motifs of snow and rainbows, the piece conveys both the strength of people living amid harsh nature and a wish for peace that connects nations around the world.

Released in August 1971, it was also performed at that year’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s a perfect song to listen to when visiting Sapporo in winter or when you want to face forward without yielding to the cold.

rainbowyuzu

A song that played as the commercial theme for Nippon Life Insurance and sparked hope in many hearts.

Released by Yuzu in September 2009, this work is notable for its dramatic sound woven by rich strings.

The lyrics, which carry a strong will to move toward the light despite tears, pain, and hesitation, offer courage in the face of hardship.

Production took more than half a year from January 2009, making it one of the most meticulously crafted songs in Yuzu’s catalog.
