Senri Oe - COWBOY BLUES.wmv - MIDI

It’s a fast-paced song that’s great for driving.

Many of Senri’s songs and lyrics from this period are influenced by America, and I think that’s because he feels the roots of pop lie in America.

Misato Watanabe also takes part in the chorus,

'Reckless Eyes' Senri Oe acoustic cover by kenchan

It’s a love song that’s very much like Senri, sung to the woman he proposed to.

Senri has even been called a guru of romance, and as expected, his choice of theme shows a unique perspective.

The track’s digital rhythms are incredibly pleasant, making it a great song to listen to while driving.

When the Rain Really Starts Falling (Senri Oe & Misato Watanabe Cover)

Senri Oe has left behind hits like “Jūnin Toiro” and “Kakkowarui Furarekata” in each era and continues to work energetically today.

As a producer, he has also provided songs for many artists, including Seiko Matsuda and Maomi Yuuki.

“Honburi ni Nattara” is a duet with Misato Watanabe.

The lyrics, which entrust the course of one’s actions to the rain—“If the rain starts coming down harder…”—showcase the full extent of Oe’s talent, earning him the nickname “the male Yuming.” There are times when you just can’t make up your mind, right? In moments like that, why not try taking a page from this song at least once?

Senri Oe – Boy Meets Girl

This is the title track of the album “Boy meets Girl.” It’s no exaggeration to call it the quintessential masterpiece and the image song for college student vocalist Senri Oe.

The spoken lines in the song and Senri Oe’s down-to-earth look really appeal to women.

It was also cherished as the final song at concerts.

Senri Oe – From Now On

These are songs from a period when he was aiming for more mature music.

The lyrics vividly capture the down-to-earth romances of young office workers and students of the time.

You can also clearly see from this video that his singing voice was designed to convey the lyrics.

It’s theatrical.

As a vocalist who conveys stories through lyrics, he was one of a kind.

I think he was a poet.

I also hope he will return as a vocalist.

Senri Oe One More Time X’mas 1989

Speaking of Christmas, it was said that “Senri comes to town,” that’s how well Christmas and Senri went together.

This song in particular has an incredible groove in the chorus that I can’t help but play on repeat.

It also has an idol-like vibe and is a cute, love-themed track.

Thank You (Senri Oe) 2004

Senri Oe’s 25th single, released in 1992, is widely known as the theme song for the TBS drama “Jūnen Ai” (Ten Years of Love).

Centered on piano, Masao Ōmura’s string arrangement unfurls with elegance, gently enveloping the feelings that deepen at year’s end.

Set during the holiday season, the lyrics simply portray a protagonist who overcomes shyness to express gratitude to someone, offering a nudge to voice those important feelings we don’t usually say.

Also included on the album “Rokko Oroshi Fuita,” the song returned to the spotlight in 2006 as the annual campaign theme for an information program.

As the year closes, why not send some honest words—to yourself for working hard, or to someone who supported you—together with this song?
