Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Here are some soul-stirring masterpieces by Oasis, the rock band that Britain proudly claims.

With the commanding vocals and melodies crafted by the distinctive Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, paired with lyrics that resonate deeply.

Their songs—singing of life’s joys and hopes, love and loneliness, and at times even brotherly love—continue to captivate hearts across generations.

The Shock Of The LightningOasis

Oasis – The Shock Of The Lightning (Official Video)

The Shock Of The LightningOasis

It’s the first single from their last album.

They came to Japan at the time and performed live on a certain music program; the playing wasn’t the best, but I vividly remember how the audience was incredibly hyped.

The drum solo in the latter half is striking, and it’s a classic with a strong rock flavor.

Be Here NowOasis

Oasis – Be Here Now (album version)

Be Here NowOasis

This is the title track included on Oasis’s third album, “Be Here Now.” It’s also a distinctive song with the unusual backstory that Noel Gallagher of Oasis wrote it while on vacation with Johnny Depp and Kate Moss.

The song also draws on the rhythm of the Rolling Stones’ “Honky Tonk Women.”

Fucking in the bushesOasis

Snatch Soundtrack – Fucking In The Bushes – Oasis

Fucking in the bushesOasis

An instrumental track that’s rare for Oasis, with a highly impressive intro where a huge groove swirls.

Since there are no lyrics, the guitar riff is very simple, but it’s super cool, right? The bending section where the tension gradually ramps up is the kind of playing that would make any guitarist think, “I want to try playing that myself!!” By the way, the spoken lines that come in partway through are said to be sampled from the documentary The Isle of Wight Festival.
