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.

It’s included on the 1988 album “FLOWERS for ALGERNON.” The artist describes it as a song dedicated to “those without dreams.” The highlights are the bass that steps to the forefront, the guitar and synth laying down the rhythm in the background, and the melody line played in a ska style.

BLACK-LIST Blacklist Kyosuke Himuro tried singing (ﾟoﾟ;))

This is a track included on Higher Self, the album released in April 1991 by Kyosuke Himuro, a leading figure in Japan’s rock scene.

Set to a straightforward rock sound, the lyrics, themed around love and secrets, are rich with deep emotion.

They evoke the allure of forbidden romance and a nocturnal, dreamlike atmosphere, powerfully stirring the listener’s heart.

Himuro’s vocals—both strong and delicate—further enhance the song’s worldview.

With lyrics that convey the complexity and fragility of love, it’s recommended for those who resonate with mature romance.

Listening to this song may awaken feelings long kept hidden in your heart.

One of the signature songs by Kyosuke Himuro, the King of Rock.

It soothes a weary heart while also giving you the courage to take a new step.

When you feel lost in life, listening to this song will surely give you the strength to believe in yourself.

CRIME OF LOVEHimuro Kyosuke19rank/position

CRIME OF LOVE/HIM-BOOWYa (Kyosuke Himuro & BOØWY cover band)

It’s included on the 1991 album “Higher Self.” It was released as a single because they deliberately wanted to choose a lesser-known track.

Amid the guitar sound that rings out in the intro and the pounding, intense drum beats, Himuro’s vocals exude a decadent mood that feels seductive and evokes the imagery of the title.

DEAR ALGERNONHimuro Kyosuke20rank/position

DEAR ALGERNON

Kyosuke Himuro, a male singer who gained charismatic popularity among men in their 50s.

He left many classic songs not only with BOØWY, of course, but also as a solo artist.

Among his masterpieces, the one I especially recommend is Dear Algernon.

Although the song spans a slightly wide vocal range of mid1 C to hi A, its BPM—meaning the tempo—is slow, so overall it’s relatively easy to sing.

If you hold back on vocal power and sing with a slightly muffled tone like Himuro does, you’ll be able to handle the high notes without much trouble, so it’s a good idea to try imitating that approach.

FOLLOW THE WINDHimuro Kyosuke21rank/position

Kyosuke Himuro - FOLLOW THE WIND

A song in which Kyosuke Himuro uses his innate powerful vocal ability and sweet voice to sing about the sorrowful end of a romance.

The lyrics carefully depict everything from the beginning to the end of the relationship, resonating deeply even when simply read, and with Himuro’s expressive delivery, the piece becomes an unmistakable classic.
