Song of the DawnMiyamoto Hiroji1rank/position
Many men in their 40s who hold responsible positions at work or at home may find themselves wanting to pause and take a breath.
That’s why I recommend this song sung by Hiroji Miyamoto.
Included on his first solo album, “Miyamoto, Dokkyo.” released in March 2020, it’s also well known as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s “Nikkei Special: Gaia no Yoake.” Written specifically for the show’s renewal, this powerful ballad was crafted as Miyamoto refined the lyrics while watching the actual video footage.
The lyrics depict dawn as a quiet resolve, and the strings arranged by Takeshi Kobayashi lend a tone that gives you the courage to take a step toward tomorrow.
It’s a masterpiece that affirms who you are now and stands beside everyone ready to start walking forward again.
over the topMiyamoto Hiroji2rank/position
Hiroji Miyamoto, the vocalist of Elephant Kashimashi, has been active for many years.
Lately he’s also been thriving as a solo artist, winning support from younger generations thanks to his highly original musicality and vocals.
His new song “over the top” is perfect for savoring soaring high notes.
While it doesn’t feature much of the trendy falsetto, it repeatedly showcases a powerful mixed voice instead.
If you’re a man who has ever admired strong, high-pitched vocals, this is a track you’ll want to check out.
Winter FlowerMiyamoto Hiroji3rank/position
This is a track released digitally in February 2019 as the first step in solo activities by Hiroji Miyamoto, vocalist of Elephant Kashimashi.
Written specifically as the theme song for the TV drama “Gosaigyo” (The Black Widow Business), it aligns with the drama’s world while also conveying a powerful sense of Miyamoto’s own declaration of resolve.
Its appeal includes a wide emotional range—from a quiet opening to near-screamed vocals in the chorus.
At karaoke, it feels amazing if you belt it out as though pouring in all the emotions welling up inside you.
close your eyesMiyamoto Hiroji4rank/position
A warm, medium-tempo ballad selected as the ending theme for TBS’s news23.
Blending emotional vocals with delicate arrangements, the song leaves a gentle impression that seems to embrace the fatigue and struggles of people living in today’s society.
Released digitally in October 2024, it marks the artist’s first original track in about three years.
It carries a message of calming the heart at the end of the day and welcoming tomorrow with a renewed spirit.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when you need to heal a tired heart or feel hopeful about tomorrow.
Rising SunMiyamoto Hiroji5rank/position
If you want to go full throttle on your bike, I recommend Noboru Taiyo (“Rising Sun”).
It’s a work marked by Hiroji Miyamoto’s powerful vocals.
While many people associate his songs with a fiery image, Rising Sun has an exceptionally fresh, breezy sound.
The melody is bright, and the rhythm is very comfortable, making it perfect for cycling training.
The lyrics are finely crafted as well, so it seems great to listen to when you’re feeling down or going through tough times.
HallelujahMiyamoto Hiroji6rank/position
From the distorted guitar in the intro, it’s fantastic—the track Hiroji Miyamoto released in February 2020.
The way the song gradually builds gets your spirits rising too! When you think of Miyamoto, you picture him singing his heart out without holding back.
That kind of passion is incredibly cool, but I feel that “Hallelujah” also carries a gentle, unhurried warmth.
With its powerful message and Miyamoto’s vocals, you’re sure to feel refreshed by the time the song ends.
Give it a listen when you need courage or want to take that extra step forward!
Tears aren’t just for show.Miyamoto Hiroji7rank/position
Elephant Kashimashi is a band that has remained at the forefront from the 1990s to the present.
Lately, the solo work of vocalist Hiroji Miyamoto has been especially prominent, and he’s been dropping a number of hit songs.
Among Miyamoto’s tracks, the one I particularly recommend to women in their 20s is “Kazari Janai no yo Namida wa.” Since it was originally a song by Akina Nakamori, I think it’s easy for women to sing.
Plus, songs from the Showa era tend to have simpler melodies than today’s music, which is another reason I recommend it.
going my wayMiyamoto Hiroji8rank/position
The song “going my way,” used as the CM song for Gekkeikan THE SHOT’s “Let’s Do It My Way” commercial, perfectly matches Hiroji Miyamoto’s outrageous, free-spirited vibe and that feeling of having a drink.
It’s truly a “going my way” kind of track.
Its energetic, powerful vocals and sound give you a real boost! Am I the only one who feels like breaking into a dance? It’s insanely cool—I can’t get enough of it! It’s perfect to pair with a drink, of course, but also a great pick-me-up when you need some energy.
Let’s go do what we want to do!
Tokyo ConcertoMiyamoto Hiroji × Sakurai Kazutoshi9rank/position
A miraculous collaborative track by two of Japan’s leading vocalists.
The distinctive voices of Hiroji Miyamoto and Kazutoshi Sakurai delicately portray the diverse emotions of people living in the city of Tokyo.
The story woven from the city’s impersonal scenery and the warmth of humanity gently embraces loneliness, transience, and hope.
Produced by Takeshi Kobayashi in September 2021, the song is included on the album “Jūōmujin.” Their first joint performance on NHK’s ‘SONGS’ also generated major buzz.
This is a recommended track for anyone who can relate to down-to-earth stories—people chasing dreams and love amid the urban hustle, or those striving to overcome setbacks.
Unleash it, our new eraMiyamoto Hiroji10rank/position
That masculine singing voice is irresistible.
This song was used in a SoftBank Music Project commercial and is sung by Hiroji Miyamoto, the vocalist of the rock band Elephant Kashimashi.
It’s included on his first solo album, “Miyamoto, Doppo,” released in 2020.
Some of you may have thought, “Miyamoto doing hip-hop!?” The final result feels like his burning passion is carried on his voice, piercing deeply into the heart.
Give it a listen when you’re feeling down.
