BABY ACTIONBOØWY12rank/position

BOØWY BABY ACTION

With its offbeat guitar reminiscent of ska and an arrangement that shifts to a two-beat feel in the chorus, the song anticipates later ska-core and ska-punk, showcasing a different side of BOØWY.

The lyrics are based on a summer romance Himuro experienced in his second year of high school, and Hotei himself has said that the guitar solo was inspired by Tom and Jerry.

A poignant ballad rumored to be lyrics about Kyosuke Himuro’s irreparable relationship with Tomoyasu Hotei.

The song portrays a masculine ethos that looks ahead: “If walking away alone as an act of self-sacrifice could free all wounds, then I will accept that fate.”

Honky-Tonky CrazyBOØWY14rank/position

Honky Tonky Crazy

This is BOØWY’s landmark first major-label single, released in June 1985, by the band that dominated the music scene of the ’80s.

The moment you hear the brisk shuffle beat and Tomoyasu Hotei’s razor-sharp guitar cutting, your body starts keeping time before you can think—an impulsive rock track through and through.

Kyosuke Himuro’s shouts amplify the fleeting rush felt by young people tearing through the city night.

Released following the album “BOØWY,” this single featured ““16”” on the B-side, showcasing the band’s multifaceted character.

When you want to break free from a constricting everyday life, why not surrender yourself to this sound? Its pure energy will set your heart free.

There’s often talk about whether BOØWY counts as visual-kei; while opinions vary, I included them here because I believe they exerted no small influence.

IMAGE DOWNBOØWY15rank/position

BOOWY – IMAGE DOWN

A song included on BOØWY’s debut album “MORAL,” released in March 1982.

Because it is the first track on the album, it is regarded as their debut song.

Although it was never released as a single, it has strong support from fans, and a live recording from that time was included as-is on the best-of album “THIS BOOWY,” released in February 1998.

The stylish sound is really cool.

It’s a song by BOØWY, the legendary rock band that was active in the 1980s.

It was released in 1987 as their seventh single, and it was their last single before they broke up.

Its cool vibe suits the crisp, chilly air of autumn.

BEAT SWEETBOØWY17rank/position

Kyosuke Himuro Beat Sweet

From the intro riff to the guitar solo, this song showcases Hotei’s impeccable guitar sense, brilliantly portraying the psyche of a timid man in love—where the euphoria of finding a love he desperately wants collides with the frustration of it remaining just out of reach.

FUNNY-BOYBOØWY18rank/position

FUNNY-BOY

This song, with an intriguing intro that makes clever use of recording effects, unfolds as if briskly racing forward, where crunchy, choppy guitar cutting and a sweet, wistful, velvety voice spur each other on in a dead heat.

It also showcases, to the fullest, the masculine allure of a man singing about a woman’s heart.

LIAR GIRLBOØWY19rank/position

BOØWY／LIAR GIRL　GuitarCover

Starting with a sound reminiscent of a synth organ, this song is very popular, not least because it’s the first track on the final album.

Even when singing about a relationship between a man and a woman, its expressions are remarkably rich—sometimes direct, sometimes metaphorical—so it never becomes dull.

The chorus in the hook is also memorable.

SUPER-CALIFRAGILISTIC- EXPIARI-DOCIOUSBOØWY20rank/position

BOØWY SUPER-CALIFRAGILISTIC- EXPIARI-DOCIOUS

A song included on BOØWY’s fifth album, released in 1986.

The title is said to be taken from the name of a song in the 1964 musical film Mary Poppins.

It’s said to mean a spell that opens the door to dreams.

The spelling is slightly altered, which is unique.

Speaking of unique, the song also quotes the opening of the first movement of Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik partway through.

The way they stylishly weave in classical music is exactly what you’d expect from BOØWY!
