Goodbyes should be casualTHE ALFEE

This is a song from the album “TIME AND TIDE,” released in 1979.

Although it’s a song about saying goodbye, it’s infused with Latin flavor and has a cheerful finish.

The album contains a relatively large number of folk-leaning tracks, but this song is especially pop, foreshadowing the direction The Alfee would take thereafter.

Bridge of HopeTHE ALFEE68rank/position

Following “On the Morning When the Bell of Hope Rings,” this song was selected as the theme for the TBS drama Salaryman Kintaro 4.

Released in 2004 as their 52nd single, it’s a colorful track that layers THE ALFEE’s signature melody over powerful drums.

FOR THE BRAND-NEW DREAMTHE ALFEE69rank/position

THE ALFEE – FOR THE BRAND-NEW DREAM [Era of the Wind ★ Summer DAY 2]
FOR THE BRAND-NEW DREAMTHE ALFEE

FOR THE BRAND-NEW DREAM, which was included on the single for Kimi ga Toorisugita Ato ni -Don’t Pass Me By-, the theme song for the baseball anime film Touch 3: Kimi ga Toorisugita Ato ni, was also used as the ending theme for Touch 3.

Its brassy sound colors the English lyrics that depict the drive toward dreams and goals.

The slightly mischievous, sparkling, explosive vibe feels youthful and incredibly empowering! Sakurai’s bass and Sakazaki’s acoustic guitar lay the foundation, while Takamizawa’s guitar—soaring as if flying through the open sky—is absolutely irresistible.

It’s an upbeat tune that lifts your spirits not only when you’re engrossed in what you love, but also as travel BGM!
