Holy Night -Silent Night for Two-THE ALFEE78rank/position

Romeo Cosmic PicnicTHE ALFEE79rank/position

This is a grand picnic song set in space, included on THE ALFEE’s classic album “GLINT BEAT,” released in September 2001.

Some of you may remember that the album reached No.

5 on the Oricon weekly chart.

The lyrical world, crafted by Toshihiko Takamizawa and lyricist Yukinojo Mori, is uniquely charming—heading out to the edge of the universe on a sparkling airship for a picnic.

The song captures the protagonist’s excitement for a futuristic date with their loved one through a floating melody and dramatic song structure.

With their signature rock foundation layered with diverse sounds, the cyber-pop vibe really lifts your spirits.

It’s a perfect track not only for a picnic under blue skies, but also as a great companion for a drive.

UNCROWNED KINGDOMTHE ALFEE80rank/position

Known for timeless hits like “Hoshizora no Distance” and “Mary Ann,” THE ALFEE is in fact also a progressive rock band.

As you can tell from his appearance, guitarist Toshihiko Takamizawa is influenced by hard rock and prog, and he has said that Pink Floyd’s classic album Atom Heart Mother—by one of the ‘Big Five’ prog bands—is among his roots.

They’ve left behind many great prog tracks, such as “GATE OF HEAVEN” from the album The Renaissance and “UNCROWNED KINGDOM” from the album GLINT BEAT.

GraduationTHE ALFEE81rank/position

A song that conjures a poignant inner landscape, where the seasons quietly turn their pages and past loves and days of youth become buried beneath the snow.

It’s an early track by THE ALFEE, the rock band that has long led Japan’s music scene, included on their first album, “Seishun no Kioku” (“Memories of Youth”), released in July 1975.

This work is also known as the first song written and composed by Toshihiko Takamizawa.

Koji Makaino’s arrangement highlights the beautiful melodies and the introspective world of the lyrics.

More than just a farewell song, it holds both the radiance and the ache of days when young lives burned brightly—tightening the chest with its bittersweetness.

On a night when you want to quietly bask in memories, why not listen to it alone, taking it in deeply?
