A third of pure-hearted feelings

Do you know the passionate love song that colored the late-’90s J-Rock scene? Released as a single by SIAM SHADE in November 1997, it was used as the ending theme for the hugely popular anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story and became the band’s biggest hit.

Also included on the album SIAM SHADE IV: Zero, this classic masterfully fuses hard-edged instrumentation with a catchy melody.

One of its greatest charms is that, despite the band’s high level of musicianship, the chorus is so familiar and easy for anyone to sing along to.

It’s incredibly well-known—just the intro is enough to trigger cheers.

Try singing it when you want to create a sense of unity at a get-together with friends from the same generation!

The famous song “Seishun Amigo,” known as the theme for the popular drama Nobuta wo Produce, is sung by the duo Shuuji to Akira—Tomohisa Yamashita and Kazuya Kamenashi.

It features a passionate melody with a slight kayōkyoku flavor, yet it also carries a certain laid-back, Heisei-era nonchalance that leaves an impression.

Although falsetto appears, the overall range is narrow, so even men in their 30s can sing it comfortably while reminiscing.
