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!

Masaharu Fukuyama – Camphor Tree (Fukuyama☆Great Summer Festival 2015 Inasayama)

This song was created by Masaharu Fukuyama with heartfelt feelings for Nagasaki, which is both his hometown and a city that suffered the atomic bombing.

On August 9, 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped, turning Nagasaki into a burned-out wasteland; yet, miraculously, two camphor trees survived the flames and recovered.

The torii gate mentioned in the lyrics, left standing with only one side, also actually exists.

Listening closely to this song—which expresses the sense of duty and mission inspired by those things that kept living and standing despite unimaginable damage—there is much that resonates even with those of us who have never experienced war.

So there was one in Tokyo, too.Fukuyama Masaharu17rank/position

Masaharu Fukuyama – There Was One in Tokyo (Full ver.)

“Tokyo Nimo Attanda” depicts someone who came to Tokyo with a dream, gazing at the beautiful scenery they found there while thinking of a loved one back home.

Released in 2007 as a double A-side single together with “Muteki no Kimi,” the song was chosen as the theme for the film “Tokyo Tower: Mom and Me, and Sometimes Dad.” Although the chorus includes a section with a slightly higher key, the song overall showcases the appeal of a low voice, making it recommended for those with a lower vocal range.

Its relaxed tempo and easy-to-remember melody also make it accessible for people who aren’t used to singing.

Like fireflies faintly glowing on a summer evening, it depicts the fleeting passage of time and bittersweet feelings for someone dear, reminding us of the importance of living fully within our limited time and loving someone deeply.

Released in August 2010 as Masaharu Fukuyama’s 26th single, it was also selected as the theme song for the NTV drama “Mioka: The Days You Were Here.” When you’re longing for something to accompany the loneliness and sentimentality felt at the end of summer, listening to this song will wrap you in warmth.

Masaharu Fukuyama – HEAVEN (Full ver.)

A passionate rock number that exudes a dangerous allure.

Released in November 1999, it’s a track included on Masaharu Fukuyama’s single.

Chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “OUT: The Crimes of Wives,” it resonated perfectly with the show’s thrilling atmosphere.

The song portrays the “dependence” of drowning in an irresistible attraction and the “struggle” of being unable to escape it.

Fukuyama’s lustrous vocals dramatize the bittersweet emotions—like shuttling between heaven and hell.

It’s no wonder it topped the Oricon weekly chart and sold approximately 800,000 copies in total—an iconic song brimming with adult sophistication.

A masterpiece that powerfully sings of the bond with a best friend is included on the album “f,” released in April 2001.

Written and produced by Masaharu Fukuyama himself, the song portrays the importance of friendship through contrasts such as encounters and farewells, questions and answers, and light and darkness.

It features a simple yet deeply moving melody and Fukuyama’s powerful vocals.

This work gives us the courage to move forward with friends even when facing life’s hardships.

It will resonate in your heart when you want to look back on memories with a best friend or when you stand at a crossroads in life.

Masaharu Fukuyama – In the Rain of Remembrance (【Men-Only LIVE】Fukuyama☆Grand Winter Thanksgiving Vol. 14: A Holy Night for Men, by Men, of Men—Yarō Night!!)

A refreshing, fast-paced number brimming with momentum, “In the Rain of Reminiscence” is Masaharu Fukuyama’s debut single, released in 1990.

Despite its bright melody, the lyrics depict a bittersweet love that has ended in the past.

Its easy-to-remember lyrics and catchy melody make it very singable.

The vocal range isn’t very wide, so even those with lower voices can sing it comfortably without changing the key.

With its driving melody, it’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke!
