Letter LIVE / 2015.11.10 @ Bunkamura Orchard Hall

This is a song by Tamio Okuda that portrays the feeling of one’s heart being constricted by the emotions of love.

The heavy, leisurely progression of the sound is striking, and it powerfully conveys the suffering caused by love.

Even as the rising feelings of love make the narrator unstable, you can sense a determination to move forward—writing a letter to express their feelings, for example.

The way the song depicts carefully facing one’s own heart and the strength to take one step at a time makes it a track that can give you courage in love.

Engine (From “Cars 3”)

It’s a solid rock number written specifically as the Japanese end song for the Disney/Pixar film Cars 3.

The quiet acoustic guitar intro feels like an engine idling, and the way it gradually heats up is truly stirring.

Released in July 2017 as Tamio Okuda’s first solo single after launching his independent label, it deeply interprets the film’s theme of “crossroads in life,” making it a masterpiece that conveys not only a sense of speed but also a grown-up melancholy and the resolve to start anew.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you’re moving forward despite your doubts, or when you just want to drive with no destination in mind.

CUSTOMOkuda Tamio13rank/position

Tamio Okuda “Hitori Matatabi Special @ Itsukushima Shrine CUSTOM”

A slow ballad.

When you listen to it, it feels like a love song, yet it also seems to be about himself.

It’s wrapped in Tamio’s signature metaphors and wordplay.

Still, the nuance is very sexy, and the chorus rings out with a powerful shout.

Tamio Okuda - Raise Your Fist to the Sky

The 2012 single “Raise Your Fist to the Sky,” which was used in commercials like the “Everyone’s Beer Hall” version.

When it comes to Tamio Okuda and Sapporo Beer, the live event “the PERFECT LIVE” also leaves a strong impression.

The punchy guitar sound from the intro gets your heart racing, and expressing a toast as “raise your fist to the sky” is rock ’n’ roll and super cool! Okuda’s warm, generous vocals are wonderful, embracing everything and adding color to any toast.

Tamio Okuda – The STANDARD

This work is a deliberate attempt for him to take on ballads, which he’s not good at.

I was really surprised when I first heard it.

The straightforward lyrics pierce right through you.

It feels like the love of a mature man.

No matter how many times I listen, his sexy vocals give me goosebumps.

innocent world / Tamio Okuda

Speaking of Tamio Okuda, he’s a musician known for singing many uplifting songs.

This is his version covering Mr.

Children’s classic “innocent world.” You can really feel how he’s made the Mr.

Children song completely his own.

Tamio Okuda – Rose Flower

A cover of Quruli’s single released in 2001.

He’s done various covers, and this one seems to suit him quite well.

He appears to be good friends with Quruli’s Shigeru Kishida, and they’re currently in a unit together called Sambomaster? Wait, no—Sanfujiins (Sanfujins).

With great anticipation - Tamio Okuda cover - 2015 Otsu Jazz Fest - NASA BAND

This is the song chosen as the theme for the school-based drama “HR.” The lyrics are encouraging, telling you to keep moving forward no matter what happens after graduation.

It feels as if it’s speaking on behalf of a teacher who wants to convey something to their students.

I think it’s perfect for expressing gratitude to a passionate teacher.

It will surely create a scene just like in the drama.

Tamio Okuda / Slow Ballad (RC Succession cover)

When I listen to this, I can only describe him as a true god of ballads.

It’s not particularly a beautiful singing voice or beautiful music, but I think his distinctive style, the voice, the guitar, and the music come together to create a masterpiece.

It’s a classic.
