GLAY / Sakurabito

It’s a heartfelt ballad filled with the feelings of people who live alongside the cherry blossoms.

It carefully portrays the choices and struggles of those who leave their hometown and those who remain.

Written by GLAY for a Fukushima reconstruction support project, the song was included on the bonus CD of the album “MUSIC LIFE,” released in November 2014.

It was later chosen as the ending theme for the information program “Joho Live Miyaneya.” At a concert in February 2015, the four members performed an acoustic version by themselves, said to have played it with their thoughts turned toward Tohoku.

As spring arrives and you begin life in a new environment, why not listen to this song and draw some courage from it?

Forever, just the two of us...

This is a song that TAKURO wrote for TERU’s sister, whom he was going to marry.

It straightforwardly turns their strong vow to live together forever into a song.

Among GLAY’s fans, it’s probably one of the top three ballads.

It’s a song I’d love for you to listen to with someone you cherish.

Critical HitGLAY80rank/position

Critical Hit

With pop yet straightforward tracks that captivate listeners, GLAY delivers once again.

Released in July 2024, this song was also chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Grendizer U.

Its lyrics weave together grand themes such as the contrast between light and shadow, rebirth from despair, and resistance in the name of freedom, portraying criticism of modern society and the conflict between personal liberty and power.

Accompanied by a powerful rock sound, the lyrics resonate with a profound message.

It depicts a determination to find hope amid hardship and struggle, making it a perfect number for those who want to stay true to their convictions.

An angel’s shareGLAY81rank/position

GLAY / Angel's Share

A GLAY rock tune that delivers a jolt from the very first intro.

It was used in the commercial for the Chevrolet Cruze.

I still remember how stunned I was back then by how cool it was.

The mature romance in TAKURO’s signature style—like blending love with the “angel’s share,” the portion of whiskey that evaporates—is captivating, and TERU’s sexy vocals and the guitars are absolutely top-tier too! So cool! Even though it’s a 2004 track, it still feels fresh after all these years.

A jealousy-themed song from GLAY, whose sexy vocals are irresistibly appealing.

The standout feature is without question the coolness of the chorus.

The blend of sexiness and swagger is captivating.

The music video is crafted with a musical-theater flair, making it highly engaging as a visual work as well.

It’s cherished among fans as one of GLAY’s hidden gems.

Their HOLY X’MASGLAY83rank/position

Their Holy X’mas

This is a winter ballad included on the 2002 album “UNITY ROOTS & FAMILY, AWAY.” Rather than a love-centered Christmas song, it is woven from the perspective of Christmas for all people, with diverse skin tones and eye colors.

The lyrics gently portray universal wishes for happiness, dreams, and the true meaning of Christmas, leaving listeners with a calm, warm feeling.

In 2023, an anthology edition was released two decades later, featuring a live arrangement version as well.

It’s a gentle song you’ll want to play quietly on a peaceful Christmas night spent with family and friends.

Her “Modern…”GLAY84rank/position

GLAY / Her 'Modern⋯' (MEET & GREET VACATION in Yokohama Minato Mirai)

Third single.

In fact, this song had low single sales.

However, it’s a rock number that represents their early period and is often performed live.

The lyrics are quintessentially ’90s visual kei, but it remains a timeless classic, with a guitar solo that’s still incredibly cool today.
