IT’S ONLY LOVEFukuyama Masaharu29rank/position

Masaharu Fukuyama – IT’S ONLY LOVE (Full ver.)

This is one of Masaharu Fukuyama’s signature numbers, which became widely known in living rooms across Japan as the commercial song for DyDo Drinco’s “DyDo Blend Coffee,” and marked his first million-selling hit.

Released in March 1994, it also achieved the remarkable feat of topping the Oricon Weekly Chart for four consecutive weeks.

Despite its refreshingly rock-flavored sound, the lyrics reveal lingering attachment and a sense of loss toward a former lover, making it a heartbreak song where the more bravado you show, the more the sadness wells up.

Arranged by Makoto Saito to sit in a comfortable vocal range, it’s also appealing in how easy it is to sing with feeling.

It’s a classic I recommend when you want to look forward while reflecting on a past love, or when you want to belt it out at karaoke and feel refreshed.

Masaharu Fukuyama – Heartbeat <31st Anniv. Live “Slow Collection”> (Short ver.)

A poignant yet warm ballad that captivatingly portrays the turmoil of an unexpected love.

The protagonist, who had decided never to fall in love, grapples with confusion and a loneliness hidden behind a brave front, all conveyed through Masaharu Fukuyama’s richly emotive vocals.

Included on his original album “AKIRA,” released in December 2020—his first in six years and eight months—the song was chosen as the theme for the drama “#Remolove: Normal Love Is for the Weak.” Its delicate melody reflects the nuances of the protagonist’s emotions, making it a deeply satisfying listen.

Try listening while thinking of someone special.

Masaharu Fukuyama – Sunflower (Full ver.)

A richly emotive piece by Masaharu Fukuyama, where the sound of the piano gently resonates in the heart.

Like a large flower blooming toward the sun, it weaves memories of a beautiful summer with a lover who gave a dazzling smile, expressed in a melody that is both aching and warm.

The song was included on the triple A-side single “Niji / Himawari / Sore ga Subete sa,” released in August 2003, which held the No.

1 spot on the Oricon charts for five consecutive weeks.

Originally written for Kiyoshi Maekawa, the track was later performed by Fukuyama himself with a new arrangement.

When you find yourself longing for summers gone by, this song may quietly stay by your side.

Masaharu Fukuyama – Universal Gravitation (Theme song for Nippon TV’s information program “DayDay.”)

Masaharu Fukuyama’s song “Universal Gravitation,” released in September 2025, was written specifically as the theme song for Nippon TV’s information program DayDay.

On the recording, the guitar is played by the show’s announcer Shinichi Takeda, while the xylophone parts are handled by announcer Kuroda and Ryota Yamazato.

Since the song is performed by Masaharu Fukuyama, it’s arranged predominantly in the low-to-mid vocal range.

It shouldn’t be particularly difficult to sing, but there is a falsetto passage in the pre-chorus (B section), so take care there.

It’s best to set your key with the B section as the reference point.
