This heartwarming theme song for NHK’s morning drama series Omusubi blends hopeful lyrics with a memorable melody.

It warmly portrays bonds with those close to us and the joys of life, turning dreams and hopes found beneath the lingering evening sky into a beautiful piece that shines like illuminations.

Released by B’z in October 2024, this ambitious work marks their first contribution to a morning drama theme, featuring a gentle sound that stands apart from their previous hard rock style.

It’s a perfect song for when you want to cherish the small happinesses of everyday life or move toward your dreams together with friends.

B’z / At the End of the Fiery Beat

B’z is a unit that has continued to lead Japan’s rock scene.

Released as a single in June 2002 and also included on the album “GREEN,” this song is a classic strongly tied to the fervor of sports broadcasts.

After a quiet intro, the band sound surges from the second verse onward, perfectly capturing the exhilaration of shifting up a gear while driving.

It was originally used for events like swimming competitions, but in 2021 it was adopted as the theme song for TV Asahi’s “WRC World Rally.” The powerful sound woven by Takahiro Matsumoto’s guitar and Koshi Inaba’s vocals is loved as an anthem that extends the excitement of the competition to viewers.

Wonderful OpportunityB’z13rank/position

A shuffle number that opens B’z’s fifth album, IN THE LIFE.

Written around the theme of encouraging people who are feeling down after going through something tough, the lyrics are filled with positive words that blow away the gloom and give you a push forward.

The pop, upbeat sound right from the start lifts your spirits and, together with the lyrics, raises your energy.

It’s the kind of track you want to listen to when you just can’t feel positive—one that helps you forget the bad stuff.

You Are My BestB’z14rank/position

B’z/ You Are My Best – Horse Racing Version

This is a work released in 2022 by B’z, one of Japan’s leading rock bands.

It was selected as the support song for the 2022 FINA World Championships in Budapest and the 2023 Fukuoka championships.

From the very beginning, you’re instantly drawn in by Koshi Inaba’s vocals.

Although the song maintains a slow, ballad-like tempo throughout, it somehow exudes a dignified, majestic atmosphere.

Rather than saying “just push yourself recklessly,” it’s a song that quietly affirms your very act of striving and cheers you on.

NamingB’z15rank/position

B’z naming acoustic solo performance

B’z, now renowned as Japanese artists who stand on the world stage.

Carried by their distinctive melodies is a “message to those who have created life.” When life is born, everyone vows to cherish it.

Yet as time passes, we often forget that resolve.

“Naming” reminds us of the profound responsibility borne by those who have brought a life into the world—something we must never forget.

KOIGOKORO (Feelings of Love)B’z16rank/position

B’z [Koigokoro]

For B’z, it’s a rare, pop-leaning melody that makes this unrequited love song a joy.

He wants to talk to the girl he fell for at first sight, but he lacks confidence and can’t bring himself to do it.

The moment he steels himself to approach her, her female friends promptly gather around, and she never ends up alone—so he ultimately can’t do anything.

It’s a classic that evokes the bittersweet youth so many of us have experienced.

The Unfading RainbowB’z17rank/position

An Unfading Rainbow / B’z

It’s a hidden gem by B’z.

It’s a slightly slow ballad, so it might make you sleepy, but Koshi Inaba’s rich vocals really speak to the heart.

I chose it because the title “Unfading Rainbow” feels kind of auspicious.

B’z / Whip

Many people may relate to B’z’s comment about “pushing yourself too hard without meaning to.” This song is a powerful anthem that portrays the struggles of such a person and the determination to keep moving forward.

The depiction of someone driving themselves under pressure and striving to surpass their limits is sure to move you.

Released in January 2025, it colored the story as the theme song for the drama “Informer: Beasts Living in the Dark,” starring Kenta Kiritani.

When you’re desperately chasing something and need one more push, this track will strongly propel you onward.

B’z / GO FOR IT, BABY -Mountain Range of Memories-

This is B’z’s 50th single, written specifically for the commercial “Pepsi NEX Tshirts Live” featuring the members.
