Infinite WindOkuda Tamio50rank/position

Infinite Wind

It’s the official cheer song for Japan’s national baseball team, “Hoshino Japan.” He himself is quite a baseball fan, so I imagine he must have been thrilled… It almost sounds like a different song between the beginning and the chorus.

The chord progression is the same old Tamio-style progression.

It’s a song included on Tamio Okuda’s third original album, FAILBOX, released in 1997.

The track was used as the ending theme for the NHK period drama Shin Han-sachi Torimonocho.

Tamio Okuda’s songs have a unique charm that combines a laid-back feel with breezy freshness.

This work is included in “OT DONUTS BURN,” a collection of 20 tracks he personally selected from over 20 years of solo activity.

Released in October 2014 as a strictly limited edition, the project offered a valuable opportunity to reflect on Okuda’s musical career.

In addition to his talents as a singer-songwriter, Okuda is also known as a producer, having worked with artists like PUFFY and Kaela Kimura.

He’s famously a huge fan of the Hiroshima Carp, and it’s said that official “Tamio Boy” merchandise—modeled after the team’s Carp Boy mascot—has even been sold.

Easy to listen to and relaxing, this release makes perfect everyday background music.

It’s recommended not only for Okuda’s fans but also for anyone seeking a soothing listen.

Yosui Inoue & Tamio Okuda – Arigatou (1997)

As the group name suggests, this is the signature song by the special musical duo of Yosui Inoue and Tamio Okuda.

It was released in 1997 as their debut single.

Chosen for a Sapporo Beer commercial, it drew attention and became a hit.

Many fathers likely listened to their music in their youth.

It might be fun to duet with your dad at karaoke.

Wonderful DaysOkuda Tamio55rank/position

Unicorn - Wonderful Days

This is the well-known last single before UNICORN’s breakup.

Written and composed by Tamio Okuda.

The lyrics hint at a breakup, but when it was released the decision to disband hadn’t been made yet.

During the album’s production, the drummer left, and they ended up breaking up after the tour.

A lively rock sound.

It’s the kind of song that naturally makes you want to tap your feet at a live show.

It starts with a guitar that hits like a bolt of lightning and then races ahead with unstoppable energy.

Although it wasn’t released as a single, fans consider it a classic.
