Higher Stage

It’s a rock tune that helped define the excitement of the Beijing Olympics held in 2008.

Created by singer-songwriter Masaharu Fukuyama, it was included as the B-side of the single “Sou – new love new world -,” released in October of the same year.

The richly layered band sound arranged with Akira Inoue and the ringing guitar tones evoke the thrill of the stadium.

The lyrics, which depict striving for greater heights and continually pushing one’s limits, empower anyone taking on a challenge—not just in sports.

If you listen to it before a decisive moment, it will fill you with courage.

I want to see that smile.

According to him, the song captures the joy of having something be taken for granted.

Masaharu Fukuyama – Shooting Star (Fukuyama☆Winter Daikanshasai Vol. 11: “No Hit Songs Festival!!”)

When you’re going through the pain of a breakup, having a good cry on your own can be one way to feel better.

In times like that, I recommend Masaharu Fukuyama’s “Nagareboshi” (Shooting Star).

It’s a track from his 2009 album Zankyo, and its intro featuring saxophone and shakuhachi leaves a lasting impression.

The lyrics, told from a woman’s perspective as she puts the brakes on her feelings—telling herself she mustn’t fall for the other person—evoke a poignant sadness as you listen.

When it’s tough, let yourself cry your heart out, then refresh yourself and take a confident step forward!

Released digitally in September 2025, “Universal Gravitation” was written as the theme song for the Nippon TV information program DayDay.

The song explores the idea that even when we feel lonely amid the bustle of the city, people are drawn to each other by an invisible force.

Its lyrics contrast a heart bewildered by the buildings’ scattered reflections with stars that, though unseen, are undeniably there—gently revealing the warm connections hidden in everyday life.

It’s a supportive anthem that stays by your side during the busy morning rush and lifts you into a positive mood.

Masaharu Fukuyama – Akatsuki (Full ver.)

This is a work by Masaharu Fukuyama, written as the theme song for the drama “Television Future Heritage ORANGE: The Soulful Story of Firefighters Who Risked Their Lives on 1.17,” which focuses on the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake.

Set to a rich, weighty band sound, the song conveys a powerful will to find hope in the light of dawn that quietly arrives from the depths of profound despair.

Its lyrics, infused with reverence for life and prayers for rebirth, resonated perfectly with the drama’s worldview, which portrays the souls of people facing adversity.

The track was included on the April 2014 album “HUMAN” and was also used in a beer commercial.

Don’t you feel it’s the kind of song that stands beside those trying to overcome a painful past and take a new step forward, giving them energy for tomorrow?
