Osaka SOULKobukuro79rank/position

Kobukuro “Osaka SOUL”

This well-known track by the duo Kobukuro served as the theme song for the Osaka Marathon.

It features Kobukuro’s signature upbeat sound and lyrics that convey a burning passion to push toward the finish line.

The driving drumbeat and the rich use of instruments—trumpet, guitar, strings, and more—evoke images of Osaka’s lively downtown, Tsutenkaku Tower, and Osaka Castle.

Since Kobukuro hails from Sakai City, the song brims with hometown pride.

If you’re from Osaka, it’s the kind of song that makes you want to sing it at karaoke!

My belovedKobukuro80rank/position

Kobukuro_Loved One_LIVE

It portrays the aching, frustrating feeling of wanting to say “I miss you” and convey your feelings to a loved one who can’t hear them.

The phrase “a loved one” suggests it could be lyrics to a deceased lover, but from the episodes that appear in the song, it can also be read as being about a late mother.

Although the singer always feels this “loved one” close by, no matter how much they sing—their truest form of expression—there is no reply from that person.

The song captures the pain of there being no answer, and the singer’s determination to keep on singing nonetheless.

Kobukuro – Moonlight

There was a time when everything looked suspicious and I doubted everything.

That day, I even looked at someone dear to me with suspicion and ended up hurting them.

Every time I listen to this song, it dredges up the worst version of myself from that day.

I swore in my heart that I would never become that person again—while listening to this song.

Be by my side every morning. [Sweet drip mix]

It’s a song included on Kobukuro’s fourth original album, “MUSIC MAN SHIP,” released in 2004.

It’s the Kobukuro version of a work originally released by the project unit Tokobukuro, with lyrics and composition by George Tokoro.

Sung from a husband’s perspective and expressing gratitude to his wife, “Every Morning, Right Beside Me” is a song released by Tokobukuro, a unit formed when George Tokoro and Kobukuro teamed up after appearing together in a commercial.

A later version without George Tokoro, titled “Every Morning, Right Beside Me – Sweet drip mix -,” was also released.

The arrangements differ significantly, so it’s worth comparing them.

The highlight is how the song captures everyday moments and draws out a sense of drama from them.

A song like a campfireKobukuro84rank/position

Takibinoyounauta

When you think of camping, you think of a campfire—and when you think of a campfire, maybe this song.

It’s a track by the popular duo Kobukuro, known for their beautiful choral work, included on their 2012 best-of album “ALL SINGLES BEST 2.” No matter how hard or painful things get, if we live by supporting one another, everything will be okay—that’s the comforting message the lyrics convey.

The harmony of the two singers is deeply moving, a tear-jerking message song.
