[THE ALFEE] Rockdom—Blown by the Wind— Summer Dream 2020-08-25

This song, with its dramatic key changes, might just bring back your youthful days.

It’s a track by THE ALFEE, a band that has been at the forefront of the Japanese music scene since the 1970s, released in 1986 as their 24th single.

The nostalgic lyrics inspire a resolve to “walk through life without forgetting your original intentions.” Their signature, beautiful choral work is a highlight, and the modulations and swell toward the latter half of the song are especially moving.

Take back the love!!THE ALFEE17rank/position

THE ALFEE – Take Back the Love!! [45th ANNIVERSARY BEST HIT ALFEE 2019 Spring Uprising]

A song by Crystal King, also known as the opening theme of the TV anime Fist of the North Star.

In THE ALFEE’s cover, bold arrangements evocative of metal are added to the original rock-like feel, including majestic strings and intensely pounding drums.

The twin vocals—recreated by Sakazaki’s low range and Takamizawa’s high range—and a longer, more technically intricate guitar solo than in the original make this a cover arrangement that can be enjoyed whether you know the original or not.

A poem of love to you whom I have yet to meetTHE ALFEE18rank/position

A Love Poem to You Whom I Have Yet to Meet — THE ALFEE

This is THE ALFEE’s 39th single, released in May 1994.

It was later included on the 1995 album “Mugen no Hate ni” (At the End of Illusion).

Although all three members of THE ALFEE can take the lead vocal, the lead on this track is Takamizawa, the highest tenor among them.

It’s a song where you can enjoy Takamizawa’s signature qualities: a very gentle, straightforward delivery and soaring high notes that seem to pierce the heavens.

As a karaoke choice, it suits people whose natural speaking voice is already on the higher side.

KO. DA. MA.

This is one of the tracks included on THE ALFEE’s double A-side single celebrating their 50th anniversary.

Released in July 2024, the song is also featured as the ending theme for the TV Tokyo anime Shinkalion Change the World.

Crafted by Toshihiko Takamizawa, its beautifully melodic metal sound is marked by striking three-part harmonies.

The lyrics, inspired by the Shinkansen “Kodama,” depict a free-spirited journey sparked by a chance encounter, conveying a sense of hope for the future.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to as if you’re hopping on a night train—perfect for a drive, too.

THE ALFEE – Sunny, Then Occasional Shooting Stars [Chateau of The Alfee DAY1]

The heavy, layered performance pairs exceptionally well with Mr.

Sakazaki’s wistful vocals, creating a profoundly rich soundscape.

The chorus’s relentless surge, delivered with barely a breath to spare, is truly breathtaking—like waves crashing over you again and again.
