Hiroshima Drive

A vividly painted piece brimming with Hiroshima flavor that brings hometown scenery to life.

The lyrics overflow with Tamio Okuda’s love for his hometown, featuring one iconic Hiroshima spot after another, such as Mazda Stadium and the Hacchobori intersection.

Released digitally in October 2018, this track was created as a Hiroshima-dialect parody version of “Tokyo Drive,” with fellow Unicorn members from the same hometown joining in with rhythmic call-and-response.

The blend of the local dialect and a warm melody stirs a deep sense of nostalgia, making it a treasured song that offers comfort—not only to those from Hiroshima, but to anyone living away from their hometown.

Route 2

When I go for a Saturday drive, the number one up-tempo track I absolutely want to blast is Route 2.

It’s a song from Tamio Okuda’s first solo album, 29.

With Saturday night as its theme, it shines with wild imagery of riding motorcycles and driving cars.

Okuda’s signature rock ’n’ roll really gives you chills! By the way, Route 2 refers to National Route 2 in Hiroshima, Okuda’s hometown.

It’s the perfect song to keep things grounded yet full throttle, and it’ll amp up your Saturday for sure!

The Giving Man (Unicorn Cover) by HMB

A song released during the UNICORN era, written and composed by Tamio Okuda.

It’s a rock ’n’ roll track highly praised by The Yellow Monkey’s Yoshii as well.

It’s one of my absolute favorites—easily in my top two among UNICORN’s songs.

It still gets the crowd fired up at live shows today.

son of man

It’s a rock number that’s quintessential Okuda Tamio, where a powerful band sound coexists with a laid-back sense of humor.

Riding on the energetic performance is what seems at first like a passionate cheer for the youth, but it actually unfolds a unique worldview that lets the true feelings of the grown-ups peek through.

It feels hot-blooded yet carries a contradictory nuance of “let’s take it easy,” making it more flavorful the more you listen.

This track was the B-side of the single “Coffee,” released in May 1995, and is also included on the album “30.” It’s a perfect song for moments that tend to devolve into sheer guts-and-glory talk, when you want to loosen your shoulders and take on the challenge.

Give it a listen without overthinking it.
