The title track from GLAY’s 1998 album “pure soul.” By your late twenties, you’ve usually gotten used to working life, and it’s a time when various conflicts arise as you think about your future and where you stand.

GLAY JUMBO / Bewilderment (GLAY cover)

GLAY is a four-piece rock band that dominated the 1990s J-pop scene with their catchy melodies and cool rock sound.

Their 20th single, “Tomadoi,” released as a double A-side with “SPECIAL THANKS,” was used as the theme song for the variety show “U-nan no Hontoko! Mirai Nikki.” Although the overall key is high, the actual vocal range is narrow and the melody is relaxed, so if you set it to a key that suits you, it should be easy to sing at karaoke.

It’s a rock tune with a catchy guitar riff that sticks in your head, perfectly matching the vibe of summertime.

The lyrics paint scenes like a summer blue sky and a shimmering starry night that stir up memories of a joyful romance.

It captures the regret of wanting to say “I love you more” but being unable to—an emotion that resonates deeply when paired with TERU’s impassioned vocals.

Released in September 2006, the song was used as the theme for the romance variety show ‘Koisuru Hanikami!’ If you’ve ever had a summer love you can’t forget, you’ll surely find yourself empathizing with the protagonist’s feelings.
