Son Solo Acoustic Performance ★★ -Tamio Okuda-

Released in 1995, this song was tied in with a Coca-Cola commercial.

As you can guess from the title, it’s a cheer song from a father to his son.

Perhaps Tamio Okuda sang it by likening his own worldview and thoughts to a son.

Tamio Okuda – Letter I (Live at Santomyuze, Nagano) Feb 23, 2021

A classic mid-tempo gem.

The growling guitar and Tamio Okuda’s sticky, drawling vocals give you goosebumps.

Among hardcore fans, this might be many people’s favorite track.

The lyrics are short, but Okuda is an artist who moves you more with the music and his voice than with the words.

This is the definitive kind of song for him.

It was released in 1992 as Tamio Okuda’s solo debut single.

This song is a rare track that is currently included only on Unicorn’s “ULTRA SUPER GOLDEN WONDERFUL SPECIAL ABSOLUTE COMPLETE PERFECT SUPREME TERRIFIC ULTIMATE…,” and it’s highly popular among fans.

This is a track from the solo debut album “29.” It gives the impression that he wanted to try something he couldn’t do with UNICORN before they disbanded: a steady 8-beat with a minimalist arrangement that doesn’t use many sounds.

It makes extensive use of minor chords.

Personally, I like the solo section.

This song is included on Tamio Okuda’s eighth album, “comp,” and was released in 2005.

Okuda wrote it for Minato, a John Bonham fanatic, so he could cut loose and play straight-up Led Zeppelin-style as a breather, and the intro is essentially the same as Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll.”

It’s the ending theme song of an NHK music program.

The tempo is relaxed, and it grows richer as it approaches the chorus.

For early-era Tamio Okuda, it might be a rare type of single.

The lyrics make you wonder whether they have meaning or not—it’s a piece that sparks the imagination.
