HY – “Good Bye” Lyric Video
Good ByeHY

A ballad marked by the piano’s gentle timbre and a vocal performance that speaks to the heart.

Featured on the 14th album HANAEMI, released in February 2021, this track was written and composed by Nakasone.

Unlike a song that simply dwells in the sorrow of heartbreak, it conveys gratitude toward the other person and embodies the strength to look forward, resulting in a piece that gently encourages the listener.

It’s sure to give you courage when you want to overcome the pain of parting and take a new step forward.

A catchy pop tune with a looping feel, made memorable by the occasional twang of the sanshin—this is HY at their best.

It opens with Hideyuki Shinzato’s refreshing vocals, and in the chorus, his harmony with Izumi Nakasone rings beautifully.

The song, said to have been inspired by the forests of Yanbaru, carries a message: even when our bodies one day come to an end, may the music remain—like a seed that sprouts, blooms into a flower, and drops new seeds again.

When you sing it, feel free to enjoy it with a grand, nature-filled image in mind.

HY – Tegami (Official Music Video)

A track included on HY’s third studio album, TRUNK, released on July 14, 2004.

It’s a charming piece with an endearing, poppy melody.

The harmony is basically structured with the female vocal singing an upper harmony over the male lead, and that upper harmony is a simple third above.

This makes it great material for a man and a woman to enjoy harmonizing together at karaoke.

Please enjoy singing the harmonies comfortably.

HY – “Kirari” Music Video

This is an exhilarating uptempo track that conjures up shining scenes of summer sun, the sea, and fireworks.

Released in June 2022 and later included on the album “Kafuu,” it was written as the campaign song for Lawson’s “Cooling Sweets.” The refreshing feeling of eating a sweet treat perfectly links with the excitement of summer; just listening makes your heart feel lighter and inspires you to head outside.

It’s recommended for when you want to start something new or refresh your mood.

HY is a four-piece rock band beloved for their mixture sound that blends a worldview evoking their Okinawan roots with a wide musical palette.

“Ryufu-maru,” included on their indie second album Street Story, amps up the excitement with its striking guitar phrases and spacious intro.

With its driving beat and straightforward melody, it’s a song that feels great to belt out at karaoke.

If you’re going with a group that includes women, having them join the chorus can be fun too.

It’s a recommended number for men in their 30s, likely the generation that grew up with it.
