I sang and recorded “Eien no Koibito (Shogo Hamada)” on LIVE DAM karaoke.

This Christmas number by Shogo Hamada is incredibly cool and classy in the way it expresses love with so few words.

It was included as the B-side to the 1992 single “Ave Maria.” He later self-covered it on his 2003 ballad album “Shoshu.” Despite the song’s length, the lyrics contain very few words, yet the bittersweet warmth of the love packed into them is simply exquisite.

Highly recommended if you’re looking for a refined, understated Christmas love song.

Shogo Hamada Concert Tour: Kobe World Memorial Hall Expedition Notes

The B-side track of Shogo Hamada’s 10th single, “Ashita Naki Sedai” (Generation Without Tomorrow).

It’s a mid-tempo rock song depicting an R&B singer on a tour, downing bourbon in a hotel while watching the rain outside the window.

Hydrangea Song (ON THE ROAD 2005-2007 “My First Love”)

This is a classic ballad by Shogo Hamada that sings of the ache of a love one cannot speak of, set against rain-soaked scenes.

You can almost see the station at Kita-Kamakura and the scenery leading to Enoshima, and you can feel the protagonist’s hidden feelings—trapped in a forbidden relationship—piercingly clearly.

The song is included on the album “The Door for the Blue Sky,” released in November 1996.

It’s the kind of track that gently stays by your side on a rainy night when you want to brood over a love that can’t be helped.

A beautiful nightHamada Shogo67rank/position

I tried singing “Beautiful Night” (by Shogo Hamada).

“A Beautiful Night” is a song included on Shogo Hamada’s album “Journey of a Songwriter,” released in 2015.

As his first original album in ten years, the record topped the Oricon album chart at No.

1.

With lyrics that capture the joy of spending time with you at a festival where fireworks light up the sky, and a mellow sound, it’s a wonderfully sweet love song.

It’s the perfect track for a calm moment at a summer festival!

The Emperor’s New ClothesHamada Shogo68rank/position

Naked Kings (ON THE ROAD 2011 “The Last Weekend”)

This is a soul-stirring song by Shogo Hamada that sharply interrogates the contradictions of society and the egos of humankind.

Who has the right to judge sinners and condemn others? When such a fundamental question is thrust at us over a dynamic rock sound, you can’t help but stop and think deeply.

The track was included on the album “Sono Eien no Ichibyo ni ~The Moment Of The Moment~,” released in September 1993, and later featured on the best-of compilation “The Best of Shogo Hamada vol.3 The Last Weekend.” Born against the backdrop of a turbulent global situation, its lyrics pierce our hearts even today, transcending time to speak powerfully to those of us living in the present.

Poet's Bell (ON THE ROAD 2011 “The Last Weekend”)

This is a powerful message song by Shogo Hamada that sharply cuts into the contradictions of society.

Set against the backdrop of the bubble economy era, it portrays how truly important things were being lost behind material affluence.

Even so, the message that the bell will ring out for those who listen closely to the voice of their souls seems to stir the hearts of listeners.

The track was included on the 1990 album “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” and was later released as a single in December 1998 with a new arrangement.

When you feel stifled by the sweeping currents of society, or when you want to stay true to the path you believe in, listening to this song will surely help illuminate the way forward.

Whispers of a Rainy DayHamada Shogo70rank/position

Whispers on a Rainy Day (Welcome back to the ’70s: “Time of Your Life”)

This is a song by Shogo Hamada that sings of a helpless love, set to a lively rock ’n’ roll sound.

One can picture the poignant scene of the protagonist, whose heart seems to turn muddy under the pouring June rain.

Some listeners may feel their chests tighten at the frustrating sense of powerlessness—feelings for the one they love only grow stronger, yet there’s nothing they can do.

The song was included on the album “LOVE TRAIN,” released in May 1977, and twenty years later, Hamada self-covered it out of a desire to sing his early songs with the sound of the present.
