Globe – Freedom (Global Extended Mix)

This song is a quintessential example of late-90s Japanese Eurobeat.

Packed with globe’s appeal, it explores the pursuit of freedom in the face of interpersonal relationships and social issues.

It portrays changing seasons, the passage of time, and feelings for someone far away, expressing universal themes of love, freedom, and loneliness.

Included on the album “SUPER EUROBEAT presents EURO global,” released in August 2000, it’s recommended not only for globe fans but also for anyone interested in Eurobeat.

Born from Tetsuya Komuro’s intuitive creative process, the track features rock-style arrangements.

Its soothing sound and profound lyrics make it a song that resonates deeply with listeners.

globe / Love again #Theme song of “Love Jōtō” #BADLY_IN_LOVE #Bad Relationship

globe is an indispensable music unit when talking about the J-POP scene of the 1990s.

Their 12th single, released in March 1998, is a song that portrays a moody, mature romance in which two people reaffirm their love.

Its dazzling, trance-influenced synths radiate a cool sense of speed.

Carrying unforgettable emotions yet determined to face their partner once more, the earnest feelings are powerfully conveyed by KEIKO’s overwhelming vocals that envelop the dynamic waves of sound.

Sophisticated yet tinged with melancholy, the melody is perfect for nights when you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood.

globe / Many Classic Moments

Released in 2002 as globe’s 26th single.

It was used as the opening theme for TV Tokyo’s “London Ongakukan Lon-mu,” and was released simultaneously with their seventh album, “Lights.” In the 21st century, as Tetsuya Komuro explored new musical directions, this song can be considered one of his greatest masterpieces.

SWEET PAINglobe18rank/position

lol - L.O.L. / SWEET PAIN (#globe20th - SPECIAL COVER BEST -)

globe was a music unit that thrived in the late 1990s.

While they produced many hit numbers, there are also hidden gems among their work.

One of them is SWEET PAIN.

Unusual for its time, this track features a structure similar to EDM, modulating from the A verse to the B verse, and again from the B verse into the chorus.

The chorus uses the same chord progression as the intro, so rather than a whirlwind of developments, the modulations lead to a clearly defined landing point.

It’s incredibly natural on the ears, so if you haven’t heard it yet, this is a must-listen!

Departureglobe19rank/position

globe / 「DEPARTURES（from LIVE DVD globe the best live 1995-2002）」

It was a heartrending song that foreshadowed a breakup.

Keiko from globe has an overwhelming voice, and those soaring high notes gave me chills.

No matter how much time passes, it remains a timeless classic.

It’s bittersweet, but it’s a song I want to sing in a cool, stylish way that embraces that loneliness.

AAA / 「Joy to the love（#globe20th -SPECIAL COVER BEST-）」

It was released in 1995 as globe’s second single.

The song was used in a Toyota Cynos commercial, and it became globe’s first number-one on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It’s a track notable for KEIKO’s powerful vocals and soaring falsetto.

OVER THE RAINBOWglobe21rank/position

globe / OVER THE RAINBOW

I love the atmosphere that starts with KEIKO’s vocals in the intro.

It’s absolutely enchanting.

That level of vocal ability is really amazing.

Yet somehow it also sounds fresh—there aren’t songs like this nowadays.

I end up listening, completely absorbed.
