KYOSUKE HIMURO -NATIVE STRANGER-

A song released by Kyosuke Himuro in 1997 as his 15th solo single.

Set to a characteristically Himuro high-velocity guitar sound, it portrays a man who refuses to settle for the status quo and keeps on challenging himself—surely a track that thrilled many listeners in their thirties.

KYOSUKE HIMURO -SQUALL-

Kyosuke Himuro, who debuted as the vocalist of the rock band BOØWY and became a huge sensation.

This song is his 13th single released as a solo artist in 1996, after the band broke up.

But… after watching the music video, I couldn’t help thinking that Kyosuke Himuro might be the only person who can pull off a jacket with nothing underneath.

KYOSUKE HIMURO -Diamond Dust-

Released in 1999 as the 18th single, it was the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Ice World,” and in 2012 it was also used as the ending theme for Sega’s game “Yakuza 5.” How about listening to this exquisite ballad during the cold season when you long for human warmth? With gentle piano and powerful guitar tones, Kyosuke Himuro’s sultry vocals overflow with the warmth of love and resonate deeply in the heart.

It’s a song that seems to loosen a heart and body stiffened by the cold.

It’s included on the 1997 album “I・DE・A.” It was used as the theme song for the DyDo Blend Coffee commercial.

After an intro with tones reminiscent of a pipe organ, it shifts into a straightforward rock sound.

Over a distinctly American rock melody, Himuro’s vocals come in with a lively, catchy impact.

It is included on the 2003 album “Follow the Wind.” The song was released on the 15th anniversary of the debut.

Also, although the arrangement is different, this song is exactly the same as “MARIA,” the debut single by DAIGO☆STARDUST, the solo project of DAIGO, the vocalist of BREAKERZ.

B.BLUEHimuro Kyosuke14rank/position

KYOSUKE HIMURO -B.BLUE-(2004 at Tokyo Dome)

It’s BOØWY’s smash hit that sold 1.3 million copies.

Fans praise it as an “everlasting classic,” and it remains one of the band’s most popular songs.

Released in September 1986, it peaked at No.

7 on the Oricon charts.

The track is included on the album BEAT EMOTION, which sold 1.2 million copies.

The lyrics evoke a protagonist striving to recover from the pain of heartbreak and separation.

Vivid images—like a dry wind and a cityscape growing distorted—leave a strong impression of loneliness and solitude.

Amid a clumsy love where honesty is hard and people hurt each other, the song portrays the strength to take flight once again.
