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.

Timeless masterpieces by Oasis. Soulful vocals woven by the Gallagher brothers. (41–50)

Let's All Make BelieveOasis

This song is included on Oasis’s fourth album, “Standing on the Shoulder of Giants,” released in 2002, by the band centered on the Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam.

It is a bonus track available only on the Japanese edition.

The lyric “Let’s all pretend we trust each other…” conveys a sense of hopeless despair.

D'You Know What I Mean? (2016 HD Remaster)Oasis

Rising as if in response to America’s Nirvana was Britain’s Oasis.

Ironically, they broke through after Kurt’s suicide.

The bands’ stances are polar opposites, but both are fantastic.

And here is the 2016 version of the music video for their 1997 hit—one of the coolest ever by a rock band.

Oasis – Don’t Look Back In Anger

Don’ look back in angerOasis

From the Western music duo Oasis, “Don’t Look Back in Anger.” In their homeland of the UK, the brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher’s song is considered a second national anthem.

This is a track you’ll definitely want to play at the end of a sports day or cultural festival.

Fade AwayOasis

Oasis – Fade Away (Official Lyric Video)

Fade AwayOasis

A British rock masterpiece that brilliantly captures the emotions of a young person swaying between dreams and reality.

Many hidden gems lie among Oasis’s B-sides, and this track is often cited as one of the finest.

Released in October 1994 as the B-side to the single “Cigarettes & Alcohol,” it was later included on the album The Masterplan.

Its powerful guitar riff and weighty rhythm leave a strong impression, with Noel Gallagher’s crafted melodies perfectly matched by Liam Gallagher’s distinctive vocals.

In September 1995, a lavish acoustic version was recorded featuring actor Johnny Depp and model Kate Moss.

It’s a song everyone standing at a crossroads in life should hear.

MORNING GLORY?Oasis

Oasis – Morning Glory (Official HD Remastered Video)

MORNING GLORY?Oasis

Among UK rock bands, they’re probably the most well-known.

They have many Japanese fans, and their songs are used in numerous commercials, so I think the tunes feel familiar.

Their unforgettable melodies after just one listen are also recommended for women.
