It’s a rock number packed with love and passion.
Included on the album “Jūōmujin,” this track was released in October 2021 and was chosen as the theme song for WOWOW’s broadcasts of Spanish soccer La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
The song portrays pure feelings for a loved one and the passion to pursue them, and combined with its powerful rock sound, it makes a profound impact.
I think listening to it before a soccer match will really get you fired up!
September RainMiyamoto Hiroji16rank/position

Released in 1996, Hiroji Miyamoto’s song “Kugatsu no Ame” (“September Rain”) is included on the album I Want to Be Beautiful.
From the title, many might imagine a gentle ballad, but in fact it’s an upbeat, fast-paced number.
That said, the lyrics depict a couple on the verge of breaking up, with many poignant touches.
It’s a perfect song for early autumn, when the chilly breeze can bring on a touch of loneliness.
By the way, this Hiroji Miyamoto is a different person from Hiroji Miyamoto of Elephant Kashimashi.
applauseMiyamoto Hiroji17rank/position

This is a cover song that Hiroji Miyamoto reinvented with his own interpretation, originally a classic that Naomi Chiaki sang to great success in 1972.
It’s included on his November 2020 cover album “ROMANCE,” which conveys deep respect for beloved songs from the Showa and Heisei eras.
While the original captured the bittersweet emotions of a woman leaving the stage, Miyamoto’s powerful yet delicate vocals express that pathos with a contemporary sensibility.
It’s a track that will resonate with those at a turning point in life or facing a situation where they must give something up.
Beyond the GoodbyeMiyamoto Hiroji18rank/position
A cover by Hiroji Miyamoto of Elephant Kashimashi.
It starts off very gently, sung with the care of handling something fragile.
The build-up into the chorus feels natural and is really pleasant to listen to.
That way of singing that keeps his usual aggressiveness simmering beneath the surface is irresistible for fans.
It’s a cover that preserves the original song while adding his own originality.
My Dear EllieMiyamoto Hiroji19rank/position

Hiroji Miyamoto of Elephant Kashimashi covers various songs with his own interpretations.
It’s said that he sings each song over and over until he truly makes it his own.
The slightly blunt, unpolished feel—like deliberately singing “Ellie” with Japanese pronunciation—comes across as simple and, in a way, conveys his emotions more directly, which I find very appealing.
BuddhaMiyamoto Hiroji20rank/position

Oshakashama pierces human karma and society’s contradictions with razor-sharp lyrics, while its Tsugaru shamisen-infused Japanese arrangement delivers a powerful impact.
Sung by Hiroji Miyamoto of Elephant Kashimashi, this commanding track traverses between stillness and fury, questioning the very nature of life through its vocals.
It is featured on RADWIMPS’s tribute album Dear Jubilee -RADWIMPS TRIBUTE-, released in November 2025.
Preserving the breakneck pace of the original, the sound—enhanced by seasoned expressive power—is a must-hear.
