Sunny with occasional meteorsTHE ALFEE21rank/position

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.

Heartless Love XTHE ALFEE22rank/position

THE ALFEE – Heartless Love X [30th Summer! Summer Fest DAY 2]

A track included on THE ALFEE’s 2015 album “Trinity.” Set in a melodic metal style, the song brims with speed while the switch-vocal delivery explodes with drama.

In these lyrics, the parts are sung separately by a woman and a man—a technique only THE ALFEE could pull off.

Listen while imagining two lovers drowning in a forbidden affair.

Endless MessageTHE ALFEE23rank/position

Endless Message (THE ALFEE 2003 YOKOHAMA SWINGING GENERATION: Generation Dynamite Day)

A song with a very striking intro that begins with a hymn-like pipe organ image.

It’s a message song passionately sung by Mr.

Takamizawa.

It’s also very popular at concerts and is one of the songs that makes me very happy when they perform it.

THE ALFEE – Silent Play

This is their seventh single, released in 1980.

Although it was chosen as the theme song for the TV Tokyo drama “Aitsu to Ore,” the show ended after just four episodes—making the song emblematic of THE ALFEE’s unfortunate circumstances at the time.

Even so, its mournful melody is very beautiful, and it stands as a hidden gem from THE ALFEE’s folk era.

Hurry, dreamTHE ALFEE25rank/position

Alfee “Hurry, My Dream” — The 10th Summer, 1991

This song was adopted as the image song for the 1987 Osaka International Women’s Marathon.

Since then, THE ALFEE has provided the image song for the Osaka International Women’s Marathon every year.

Although it was not released as a single, it remains a highly popular track among fans.

SWEAT & TEARSTHE ALFEE26rank/position

THE ALFEE SWEAT & TEARS P 1986

This is THE ALFEE’s 23rd single, released on July 5, 1986.

Incidentally, the band name was changed from “Alfie” to “THE ALFEE” starting with this release.

Around that time, they skillfully incorporated the pop-oriented hard rock sound that had become a worldwide movement—and would later be derided by some as “corporate rock.” The keyboard-riff intro, in particular, feels like a sound that truly symbolizes “that era.”

See You AgainTHE ALFEE27rank/position

SEE YOU AGAIN / THE ALFEE

The opening track of the 1982 album “doubt,” this song draws you in with an unforgettable shift from a fleeting, dazzling 80s-style sound and a thrilling, fast-paced start into a slightly calmer development.

It’s a richly atmospheric piece that shines with the rare lead vocals by Takami.

It brings back nostalgic memories.

Though it’s a heartbreak song portraying a bittersweet man’s feelings, it’s undeniably cool and has become a staple number that always fires up the crowd—prompting huge sing-alongs at live shows.

Embraced by the wintry wind…THE ALFEE28rank/position

Embraced by the wintry wind...

THE ALFEE’s classic hit is a melodic rock song themed around a bittersweet unrequited love.

Lyrics that evoke winter’s chill and a sense of loneliness resonate deeply with listeners.

Released in March 1987, the track was also used as the theme song for the TV drama “Don’t Cry.” It reached No.

29 on the Oricon charts and garnered support from a broad audience.

Its wistful atmosphere makes it perfect for the cold season, offering comfort to those troubled by love.

It’s the kind of song you’ll want to savor on long winter nights.

Before we speak of life, my friendTHE ALFEE29rank/position

My friend, before we talk about life / THE ALFEE

Released as their 68th single and the first of the Reiwa era, “Tomo yo Jinsei o Kataru Mae ni” (“My Friend, Before We Speak of Life”).

With this song, they achieved the remarkable feat of reaching the top three across three eras: Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa.

It’s an anthem brimming with THE ALFEE’s signature power, featuring a grand, expansive sound.

When you’re crushed by hardship, even the words around you can fail to reach your ears—but in such moments, the thought of a friend may be what sets you in motion again.

It’s a number that gives you heartbeat-lifting courage, backed by the persuasiveness and strength only THE ALFEE can convey after singing across generations.

On Windday, I’ll take you with meTHE ALFEE30rank/position

THE ALFEE “Wind Day, Taking You Along” (Neo Universe 2013 Final Series Grateful Birth Final)

The energetic guitar sound is awesome! This song by THE ALFEE, a rock band that has been at the forefront of the Japanese music scene for many years, was released in 1986 as their 22nd single.

It was used as the CM song for ANA’s “Summer Okinawa Campaign.” It’s a passionate love song that sings straight from the heart: “I want to protect you forever.” By combining that heartfelt message with a grand, expansive sound arrangement, the result is a refreshing and exhilarating piece.
