This is a love song by Omoinotake that drew attention as the theme song for a hugely popular drama.

Released in January 2024, it centers on the unwavering feelings for a beloved person that never change, even over time and distance.

It’s a captivating track whose bright, exhilarating rhythm carries a tinge of bittersweetness in its melody.

In addition to being used as the theme song for the TV drama “Eye Love You,” it was also chosen as the entrance march for the National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament in March 2025.

Innocent BlueOmoinotake2rank/position

Innocent Blue

Omoinotake’s track Innocent Blue, released on October 29, 2025.

Many of you may have first heard the song through its use in the commercial for Bourbon Alfort Mini Chocolate.

The song’s vocal range spans from mid1 D to hi D, which is quite wide for a male vocal.

While the pitch movement is extremely dynamic, the BPM itself is a relaxed 118.

However, because there are many sustained high notes, the difficulty can definitely be rated at A to S level.

Omoinotake / Summer Illusion [Official Music Video]

When it comes to Omoinotake, many people associate them with songs that eloquently portray delicate emotions.

This time, I’d like to introduce a piece released in June 2020 that centers on lost summer memories and aching love.

It served as the ending theme for the drama “love⇄distance,” not only capturing the hearts of many, but also standing as a gem that represents the early stage of their career.

The lyrics by Tomoaki Fukushima paint vivid scenes—like the glow of a vending machine and the scent of deodorant—that awaken listeners’ bittersweet memories and restless longing.

Included on the mini-album “Long for,” created as Omoinotake drew attention through street performances in Shibuya and spread their name, this track is perfect for moments when you want to sink into a sentimental mood—those summer twilights or sudden flashes that take you back to those days.

By My SideOmoinotake6rank/position

Omoinotake / By My Side

Some of you probably played in a band or often listened to music with friends during your school days.

If that sounds like you, “By My Side” is the perfect fit.

This track is a collaboration between ahamoX, a music project by NTT Docomo, and Omoinotake.

Its lyrics express gratitude for the music that colored our youth and affirm that the friendships born through music remain unchanged.

You could call it the ultimate graduation song for music fans.
