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.

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.

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

GLAY / Southeast Wind

The reading is “Minami Gochi.” It’s a very pop song, an so-called festival tune featuring chorus participation by Kuzu (Hiroyuki Miyasako and Tomomitsu Yamaguchi) and YUKI.

It’s famous for TERU and the audience dancing together when it’s performed live.

Be sure to learn it and go to a show!

An angel’s shareGLAY83rank/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.

Her “Modern…”GLAY84rank/position

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

Their 3rd single.

Although its single sales were low, it’s a rock number that represents their early period and is often played live.

The lyrics are quintessentially visual kei with a strong ’90s vibe, but thanks to things like the cool guitar solo, it remains a timeless classic even today.
