Only One,Only YouGLAY22rank/position

GLAY’s 60th single, “Only One, Only You,” released in 2022.

The lyrics draw you in with a powerful message against modern warfare.

While depicting the shocking realities we witness in our daily lives, the song also conveys both a longing for peace and a sense of despair.

Doesn’t it evoke a strong desire for peace not just for oneself, but for all people? It’s a track that clearly reflects GLAY’s deep commitment to peace.

RAINGLAY23rank/position

This is a mid-tempo number with a soothing, mellow vibe that draws you in.

“RAIN” was their debut single, released in 1994, and it was used as the ending theme for the anime Yamato Takeru.

It also drew attention for having YOSHIKI from X JAPAN involved in the songwriting and composition.

The lyrics, which gently embrace a sense of loneliness, really resonate.

Since the melody is on the slower side, don’t rush—try singing it by carefully following each and every phrase.

lipsGLAY25rank/position

A masterpiece that sensually portrays a heartrending romance, it deftly captures emotions swaying between passion and desire.

The protagonist’s irrepressible impulses and a foreboding sense of love’s fragility fuse beautifully in this gem of a song.

Released in May 1997 by GLAY, it was used as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s music program “HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP” and topped the Oricon Singles Chart.

That autumn, it was also included on the acclaimed album “REVIEW – BEST OF GLAY.” It’s a track that resonates deeply when you want to unleash the passion hidden in your heart or when your feelings for someone special are growing stronger.

THINK ABOUT MY DAUGHTERGLAY26rank/position

This is a GLAY piece that sets a father’s deep love to a driving, exhilarating beat.

The song appears on the album ONE LOVE, released in November 2001, and although it wasn’t a single, it has remained a favorite among fans.

It warmly portrays a father’s gaze as he watches his daughter grow—from the awe of hearing her first cry, to her adorable early years, and eventually the moment she leaves the nest.

At the time of production, TAKURO, who wrote and composed the song, reportedly didn’t have children yet, but the parental feelings conveyed are so vivid that it’s hard to believe they’re imagined.

Listening to this piece will deepen your tenderness for your newborn child and make you all the more excited for the journey of growth ahead.

Just a little longer until graduationGLAY27rank/position

A mid-tempo ballad from GLAY, the four-piece rock band from Hakodate, Hokkaido, that gently seeps into the heart.

Based on TAKURO’s own experiences, the lyrics delicately capture the bittersweet everyday atmosphere that precedes parting—distinct from the exhilaration of a graduation ceremony.

Originally released to the world in February 2002 as the B-side to the single “Way of Difference,” the song was later included on the album “UNITY ROOTS & FAMILY, AWAY.” While the title track became a major hit as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Ainori, this song has also enjoyed enduring popularity among fans.

If you know the unique loneliness that settles in the season before graduation, it’s sure to move you.

Why not revisit it slowly, letting it wash over you as you dwell on memories from that time?

DIAMOND SKINGLAY28rank/position

Love has no fixed form, and GLAY’s “DIAMOND SKIN” makes us realize that.

GLAY has sung about love many times before, and in this song they take on what society deems forbidden: adulterous love.

Even knowing the relationship is not allowed, the protagonist’s heart is torn by a love as strong as a diamond.

Once you’ve fallen in love, it isn’t something you can easily come to hate.

It may not be a pure kind of love, but this is a song about being crushed by powerful feelings that have already taken root.
