ROUGE OF GRAYBOØWY43rank/position

THIS MOMENTBOØWY44rank/position

A song included on BOØWY’s second album, INSTANT LOVE.

The Showa-era kayōkyoku-style vibe is an interesting touch.

True to BOØWY’s magic, each member’s strengths shine through in the arrangement, making this slow-tempo track undeniably cool.

Himuro’s husky vocals are spot-on, and Hotei’s graceful guitar melodies are flawless.

The finger-picked bass and dramatic drumming perfectly match the imagery of the highly message-driven lyrics.

WELCOME TO THE TWILIGHTBOØWY45rank/position

It’s a medium-tempo song with a slightly bittersweet feel.

This song was recorded in West Berlin when the Wall was still standing.

When I listen to it, I remember falling in love while feeding coins into a payphone, and a mischievous acquaintance who told me they would put this song on before getting onto the highway.

Among BOØWY’s many songs, this one stands out as exceptionally melodic, with a guitar riff that really sticks in your head—a fan favorite.

It unusually features a strong dose of visual-kei elements and is relatively popular among women.

ANGEL PASSED CHILDRENBOØWY48rank/position

A late-period BOØWY track whose world of swirling madness pulls you in before you know it.

Kyosuke Himuro’s words slice into the psyche, while Tomoyasu Hotei’s razor-sharp guitar sound fuses with them to shake the listener’s emotions to the core.

The song appears on their final original album, PSYCHOPATH, released in September 1987.

Despite the band’s decision to break up, the domestic recording sessions reportedly wrapped in just 16 days.

It’s the perfect track when you want to experience not just their pop sensibilities, but their darker, more aggressive side.

DOWN TOWN SHUFFLEBOØWY49rank/position

This is a song that epitomizes BOØWY’s golden era, where a groovy bassline intertwines with Tomoyasu Hotei’s razor-sharp guitar.

Released as a single in November 1986, it was also included on the classic album BEAT EMOTION released the same year.

The lyrics evoke the boredom swirling through the city night and fleeting human dramas.

Don’t you ever feel that the ordinary day-to-day leaves you unsatisfied, craving a little excitement? In those moments, why not free your mind with this track?
