THE BLUE HEARTS – Traveler

Although THE BLUE HEARTS disbanded in 1995, they’re a punk band beloved even by generations who didn’t experience them in real time, thanks to classics like “Linda Linda.” Their raw, fast-paced, quintessentially punk sound never fails to lift your spirits.

Their lyrics are full of rebellious energy and provocative word choices, but danger and anxiety are part and parcel of any journey.

When you actually set out to travel, unexpected things often happen—that might be the very essence of the fun.

In those unplanned places, you might find meaningful encounters.

So, let’s set out without fear!

THE BLUE HEARTS – Navigator

This is a profound song that likens life’s journey to a voyage across the open sea.

The lyrics, which compare the soul to a navigator, are striking and resonate deeply with listeners.

It was included on the album “BUST WASTE HIP” and released in October 2005.

There’s also an anecdote that the inspiration came while taking a walk along the Koshu Kaido.

A high school brass band produced by Mr.

Kawaguchi’s father was featured, perfectly matching the vibe of THE BLUE HEARTS.

It’s recommended for times when you feel lost in life or want to face yourself.

A warm, quietly comforting track that stays close to the heart.

Hammer (4.8 Billion Blues) THE BLUE HEARTS

Since their formation in 1985, THE BLUE HEARTS have remained a beloved, indispensable presence in Japan’s rock scene.

And when it comes to their vocalist, of course we’re talking about Hiroto Kōmoto! His signature raspy voice is packed with raw energy—just how many rock fans has it sent into a frenzy over the years? Guitarist Masatoshi Mashima also occasionally takes the lead vocals.

He, too, has a husky, weathered tone, and with a slightly higher pitch than Hiroto’s, he adds a vivid flourish to their songs.

Theme of The Blue HeartsTHE BLUE HEARTS42rank/position

THE BLUE HEARTS/The Blue Hearts' Theme

It’s a song that feels like a burst of raw early impulse—bearing the band’s own name—that was released independently after their major debut.

Many listeners were surely gripped by its message: a cry of alienation from society and a thirst for freedom, shouted over a breakneck punk sound that runs just about two minutes.

Hiroto Kōmoto’s rough yet straight-ahead vocals seem to bypass logic and set your soul on fire directly.

Originally released in August 1987 as a self-produced single, the track was later included on the commemorative best-of album “THE BLUE HEARTS 30th ANNIVERSARY ALL TIME MEMORIALS ～SUPER SELECTED SONGS～.” If you’re feeling stifled by the status quo or itching to scream at something unjust, listening to this will help unleash those pent-up emotions.
