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.

Winter, againGLAY28rank/position

It’s a video that seems to pay homage to GLAY’s music video, depicting Nanao and Ryuuji Akiyama of Robert singing in the falling snow.

From there, it also highlights a car speeding along snowy roads and a smartphone screen, conveying that you can find your ideal car on Car Sensor.

The original source for the comically recreated visuals—and the song portrayed throughout—is GLAY’s “Winter, again.” The band sound builds momentum toward the chorus, and the vocals convey a palpable strength.

The lyrics layer winter scenery with poignant emotions, evoking a swell of feeling that rises with the intensifying snowfall.
