biting my lip

A rock number steeped in masculine melancholy, with the comfortable feel of the Hiroshima dialect.

It’s a cover of a classic by Takuro Yoshida, whom Tamio Okuda deeply admires, and while it pays respect to the original, the bold band sound turns it into pure, full-throttle Okuda—absolutely fantastic! It was included as the B-side to the single “Skywalker,” released in June 2004, and later featured on the special compilation “Kinen Rider No.

2,” making it a fan favorite.

Seeing him strum his guitar and sing it live has a gut-level persuasiveness that needs no explanation.

The unadorned vocals and muscular performance are perfect for those moments when you’re feeling frustrated or need to fire yourself up at night.

Okuda Tamio “The Sun Is Watching” Official Music Video

This is a single by Tamio Okuda, released on March 9, 2022.

It also served as the theme song for the NTV Saturday drama “Tobōi F” (Runaway Doctor F).

Set to a slow-to-medium-tempo, bluesy track, Okuda’s slightly husky, rugged vocals sound incredibly appealing.

The vocal melody sits mostly in the lower register, making it a perfect choice for low-voiced male singers to enjoy performing.

When you sing it, be careful not to let the rhythm become monotonous—feel the accents on beats 2 and 4 and keep the groove as you sing.

Show off your cool, gritty voice to your friends with this song!

Gomen Rider_2018.10.13@NIPPON BUDOKAN

Tamio’s specialty: a drive song.

It’s riders as in bikers, not Kamen Rider.

It’s a hefty rock ’n’ roll track, and the lyrics are another fun, rhyme-packed piece.

The drum rhythm is easy to latch onto, so it’s bound to hype up a live show.

Okuda Tamio – Pleasure Guitar [Kantan Bāchabire]

This song is included on Tamio Okuda’s eighth album, “comp,” and was released in 2005.

Okuda wrote it for Minato, a John Bonham fanatic, so he could cut loose and play straight-up Led Zeppelin-style as a breather, and the intro is essentially the same as Zeppelin’s “Rock and Roll.”

Struggle and learnOkuda Tamio61rank/position

Worry and Learn / Tamio Okuda with Sparks Go Go

It has a hefty, weighty sound and lyrics.

Maybe it reflects what he himself was feeling at the time.

It also has a bit of a Tamio Okuda vibe from the UNICORN days—like “Ie (Home)” or “Springman’s Theme.” It seems to handle a somewhat heavy theme, but the lyrics never state it outright.

So sad I can’t bear it

This is a deeply evocative track in which Tamio Okuda covers a folk-song standard.

The original’s unique sense of melancholy overlaps with Okuda’s unadorned vocals, resonating deep in the chest.

Rather than forcing the emotion, the guitar plays with a calm yet warmly supportive tone that leaves a strong impression.

It was included as the B-side to the single “Hana ni Naru,” released in March 2002, and has been praised as a hidden masterpiece.

Try listening to it on unbearably lonely nights or when you want to pause for a moment.

It’s sure to make your heart feel a little lighter.

My belovedOkuda Tamio63rank/position

[360-degree Video] Tamio Okuda “Beloved Person (Okuda Tamio MTRY TOUR 2018 @ Culttz Kawasaki)”

The song used as the BGM for DUSKIN’s fall cleaning-themed commercial is Tamio Okuda’s “Aisuru Hito yo” (“Oh, My Beloved”).

Its laid-back, refreshing vibe—so characteristic of Okuda—perfectly matches the pleasant autumn weather, doesn’t it? Meanwhile, if you listen to the live performances or the studio recording, it gives a somewhat different impression from the CM BGM: you’ll likely feel it’s a stylish, cool song for grown-ups.

Be sure to check out the track on its own, too.
