A letter with no addressee

It was released in 1981 as The Alfee’s 10th single.

The lyrics and music were written by Toshihiko Takamizawa, and as with the previous single, Sakazaki served as the lead vocalist.

This celebrated song appears on many albums, and its poignant, lonely lyrics—evoking a heartbreaking letter with no recipient—leave a strong impression.

At the time, it was unusual for a man to sing lyrics expressing a woman’s feelings.

The song poignantly conveys the pain of a woman who still has lingering feelings for the man she parted with.

spring stormTHE ALFEE52rank/position

Spring Storm (THE ALFEE AUBE2006 ONE Live at BUDOKAN)

This is a song by THE ALFEE included on the album “ONE -Venus of Rock-.” Its powerful sound carries a hint of hard rock, and the contrast with lyrics that depict feelings of regret is striking.

While it’s a straightforward breakup song—portraying someone watching cherry blossom petals dance, looking back on shared memories, and being filled with regret—the weight of the sound seems to convey the depth of those emotions.

THE ALFEE – VICTORY (Summer Event 1993)

Space Battleship Yamato: Resurrection Chapter — I Dedicate This Love — THE ALFEE

This is the 59th single, which served as the ending theme for the animated film Space Battleship Yamato: Resurrection.

As the story goes, since Toshihiko Takamizawa was a huge fan of the Space Battleship Yamato series, he ended up composing the song; true to that, the track brims with a powerful, palpable intensity in every detail.

At the end of a dreamTHE ALFEE57rank/position

At the end of a dream

It’s a refreshing yet slightly bittersweet, wonderful song.

It reminds you that waking up to find someone you love right there—that ordinary, everyday scene—is true happiness.

I also think placing it at the very end of the album is a clever touch.

I really love this song.

Days Gone ByTHE ALFEE58rank/position

Bygone Days (acoustic version) / THE ALFEE

This is a song included on the 1979 album TIME AND TIDE, from the period when THE ALFEE performed music that leaned more toward folk.

It’s a hidden gem—an encouraging song for that somewhat in-between generation who aren’t exactly in their youthful prime anymore, yet still need to live with hope.

Lonely GenerationTHE ALFEE59rank/position

Lonely Generation

This song skillfully combines the distinctive qualities of its three vocalists.

The simple division of parts into verse A, verse B, and chorus works effectively, and by pursuing emotion that fits each assigned section, the track gains strong contrast and dynamism.

When the cherry fruit ripensTHE ALFEE60rank/position

When the Cherry Fruit Ripens (Sakura no mi no jiyukusuru toki) THE ALFEE - Sub Spanish

Like beautiful cherry blossoms, THE ALFEE’s “Sakura no Mi no Jukusuru Toki” sings of a love that is both beautiful and gentle.

Released in 2009 as a double A-side single together with “Kaze no Uta,” the song was chosen as the theme for the fifth season of the drama “Kyoto Chiken no Onna.” Its title comes from the novel of the same name by author Shimazaki Toson.

It portrays a romantic relationship that once fell apart after repeated misunderstandings, yet carries a powerful desire to be together again.

If there’s a relationship you wish to mend as the cherry blossoms bloom, listen to this song and reaffirm the great love that resides within you.
