The title track from the 18th album.

It’s a lively, cheerful pop song that begins with an opening reminiscent of a profound ballad.

The lyrics suggest that love isn’t only about staying by someone’s side; it can also be about traveling and thinking of them from afar.

Set to a driving rock sound, this is a song by Shogo Hamada that powerfully voices the pains of youth and a spirit of rebellion against society.

The lyrics are said to reflect the inner conflict born from the intense social upheaval he witnessed in the summer of 1969, when he was a high school student.

Released in July 1980 as his tenth single, the song also appears in a different version on the acclaimed album Home Bound.

Even while struggling against an unreasonable reality, you can’t quite give up hope for tomorrow.

When you’re carrying that kind of pent-up frustration, listening to this track might just give voice to the cry in your heart.

This is a song by Shogo Hamada that sharply portrays the dazzling lights of the big city and the loneliness lurking behind them.

Set to a driving rock sound, it sings of weary faces swayed in packed commuter trains and young people seeking fleeting relationships in the night streets.

The track is included on the masterpiece Home Bound, completed in October 1980 after recording in the United States.

Its message remains timeless, so much so that the lyrics were sometimes changed to reflect the times when performed live.

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.
