THE BLUE HEARTS Live: A Disappointing Person

A classic by THE BLUE HEARTS that portrays a lonely soul struggling under the weight of unmet expectations.

Hiroto Kōmoto’s powerful vocals vividly capture the anguish of a protagonist nearly crushed by others’ demands.

Featured on the album “STICK OUT,” this song remains one of the band’s signature tracks, beloved by many fans.

Its simple yet resonant lyrics and exhilarating guitar riffs are deeply appealing, offering solace to those grappling with the anxieties and conflicts of youth.

Even after the band’s breakup in 1995, the song has continued to be used in various contexts, touching the hearts of people across generations.

THE BLUE HEARTS TRAIN TRAIN

It was released in 1988 as THE BLUE HEARTS’ major-label debut single.

The song was released simultaneously with their third album, “TRAIN-TRAIN,” and was used as the theme song for the TBS network’s school drama “High School Graffiti.” Its powerful sound and vocals are a real motivator.

THE BLUE HEARTS「WHITE X’MAS」

You can’t leave out their presence when talking about the Japanese rock scene from the ’80s to the ’90s.

This is a song by the legendary rock band THE BLUE HEARTS that was performed only once, at their Christmas live show in 1985.

The original is the globally renowned Christmas song White Christmas by composer Irving Berlin.

They turned it into a characteristically fast-paced, quintessentially punk sound that’s unmistakably theirs.

"While Chewing Gum" High-Quality Audio THE BLUE HEARTS Masterpiece

You can feel THE BLUE HEARTS’ wild and free way of life in “Chewing Gum wo Kaminagara.” This song celebrates the greatness of not fully becoming an adult.

It portrays chewing gum as a metaphor for a rebellious attitude.

Sensing the cleverness of that word choice, I’d love for you to try singing it.

The piece is characterized by a rough, raw vocal style, so rather than worrying too much about pitch or rhythm, it’s better to prioritize singing with feeling.

[THE BLUE HEARTS] The Center of the World

Including its legendary live performances, “Sekai no Mannaka” (“The Center of the World”) is etched in the hearts of many.

Its distinctly philosophical lyrics deliver a message to those who’ve lost confidence: “You’re the protagonist.” It’s a pretty fiery track, isn’t it? That’s why I hope you’ll sing it with real feeling.

By the way, though it’s a fast, intense song, the rhythm itself is simple, so it should be easy to catch the groove and sing along.

Dive in with high energy, and you’ll feel like Hiroto Kōmoto!

THE BLUE HEARTS Tokyo Zombie (Russian Roulette)

When I was young, their passionate singing sent me a message that made me think about all sorts of things—what it means to be an adult, what life is.

This song, too, is like a truth sung for people wandering the city like zombies, blending life with a game like Russian roulette.

But since it’s Halloween, let’s set the heavy stuff aside for a moment and just become zombies and enjoy a little Russian roulette, shall we? After all, life is a roll of the dice, isn’t it?

THE BLUE HEARTS – King of Rookie

The innovative lyrics, which use the metaphor of slicing a Möbius strip to express infinite possibilities like the vastness of the universe, are striking.

They convey a strong will to keep challenging without fear, even when one is still inexperienced, serving as a powerful encouragement to young people who have faced setbacks and failures.

Included on the 1993 album “DUG OUT,” this song surprised fans with a unique arrangement during the 1993–1994 “Bumpy Tour.” Blending punkish appeal with a pop melody, it’s a track that showcases the many sides of THE BLUE HEARTS.

Highly recommended for those who acknowledge their own inexperience yet seek the courage to overcome it.
