Although they truly care deeply, they’re afraid of breaking the relationship, so they never become lovers—this makes for a very poignant love song.
Even if they can’t put it into words and define the relationship as lovers, they can’t stay apart and keep spending time together; that stagnant, unprogressing bond adds a nice, frustrating accent to the song.

Without waiting for twilightCHAGE and ASKA4rank/position
It’s a high-energy song by CHAGE and ASKA.
The lyrics have this vibe of “I guess this is what cool people in the ’80s were like…,” with a hint of bittersweetness peeking through.
It also weaves in the psychology of romantic push-and-pull between a man and a woman, conjuring up a complex, overlapping set of scenes.
River of Ten Thousand MilesCHAGE and ASKA5rank/position
The 1980 song “Banri no Kawa” by CHAGE and ASKA sings of longing for someone who will never return.
Even though, deep down, the narrator knows the relationship can’t be mended, the lyrics portray a fragile, bittersweet hope that maybe—just maybe—it could, as they keep waiting.
The melancholic tones of a Showa-era folk song further heighten the poignancy of the words.
It’s a great choice to sing at karaoke while thinking of someone you can’t forget.
You know, tonight…CHAGE and ASKA6rank/position
A breezy pop song.
It sings of a man’s feelings as he praises a woman whose strength can’t be glossed over with mere words once she’s upset, while he skillfully tames her with his sweet, needy charm, enjoying their playful back-and-forth and inviting her—something like, “let me hold you again tonight.”
In the Sun and the DustCHAGE and ASKA7rank/position
A gem of a melody that portrays the dreams and setbacks of youth—and the strength to overcome them.
Released to the world by CHAGE and ASKA in January 1991, this work captures the persistence of those who keep pursuing their dreams, set to a 16-beat rhythm infused with a Western pop sensibility.
