[Tonight, Birth! Music Champ] “M” (PRINCESS PRINCESS) / Sumina Maruyama (Maruyama Sumina)

When it comes to Princess Princess’s bittersweet, moving songs, nothing but “M” comes to mind.

It’s an absolutely tear-jerking track, and despite the many years since its release, it doesn’t feel dated at all.

I suppose that’s just how true masterpieces are.

Forever　Love－X Japan

When it comes to X JAPAN’s “Forever Love,” I think it’s truly the ultimate classic of heart-wrenching, moving songs.

It’s great to listen to alone, but it might also be nice to try singing it together with friends.

It’s a song with that kind of grand, cinematic scale.

Spitz / Cherry

Spitz’s “Cherry” is an eternal classic.

First of all, the lyrics are heartrending.

It’s a song dedicated to a beloved person who has left.

And the chorus is moving.

When you listen to it, you can’t help but hum along.

It’s a famous song that everyone knows.

Setting off on a witch’s journey — Spitz — Guitar & vocal cover

This song is Spitz’s third single after their professional debut, released at a time when they hadn’t yet had any hits or widespread popularity (though it was on power rotation on radio in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka).

It’s a song about a witch and a boy who are still children; they leave the town where they lived, make a promise to absolutely come back, and it’s the boy’s song as he waits for that return.

Speaking of Teresa Teng, in Japan she is recognized as a singer in the enka/kayōkyoku vein, but in Taiwan she covered American and Japanese pop rock in Taiwanese and Mandarin.

She also rejected the Chinese Communist Party’s one-party dictatorship and was active as a ‘sweetheart’ of the Taiwanese military.
