ORANGE RANGE – Naughty Sun (Reiwa ver. Music Video)

ORANGE RANGE is a rock band from Okinawa with numerous hit songs like “Shanghai Honey” and “Hana.” Released in July 2007 as their 17th single, this track boasts a fully summer-ready sound.

Chosen as the opening theme for the Fuji TV drama “Hanazakari no Kimitachi e ~ Ikemen Paradise ~,” its provocative lyrics and up-tempo rhythm really fire you up.

The irresistibly danceable mixture rock makes it perfect BGM for workouts or for charging your energy in the morning.

It also topped the 2007 “Most Hype Karaoke Songs” ranking overall, making it ideal for blowing off steam by singing with friends.

It’s a song brimming with healthy energy—just listening to it will make you break a sweat.

Hana – ORANGE RANGE (Full)

A ballad whose moving lyrics liken the miracle of meeting a loved one and the preciousness of being by their side to plants blooming after the rain.

Its greatest charm is the warm harmony unique to the Okinawa-born band ORANGE RANGE, where low, mid, and high voices overlap.

Released in 2004, the song was a massive hit as the theme for the film “Be with You” and was also included on the album “musiQ.” There’s even a surprising anecdote from the recording: vocalist HIROKI reportedly ate a large amount of kimchi on purpose to roughen his voice.

With its wide vocal range, it’s perfect for karaoke—split the parts with friends to feel an even stronger sense of unity.

JUMP MV / 'BLEACH' × '*~Asterisk~' | ORANGE RANGE

ORANGE RANGE is a five-member rock band based in their home of Okinawa Prefecture, whose wide-ranging musicality captivates fans and won’t let go.

Their ninth single, “*~Asterisk~,” used as the opening theme for the TV anime BLEACH, features a catchy and stylish melody that’s undeniably cool.

The rapid-fire interplay of the three MCs makes it easy to sing together at karaoke with friends who have different comfortable vocal ranges.

It’s an emotional rock tune recommended especially for people in their 30s who grew up with the anime.

ORANGE RANGE “Shanghai Honey” MV

Recently, ORANGE RANGE has enjoyed a cross-generational revival hit and is once again drawing public attention.

They’ve produced many classic songs, and for men in their 30s, every track likely holds special memories.

Among their works, one I especially recommend is Shanghai Honey.

Released in 2003, it was composed on a foundation of the then-trending mixture rock.

It carries a somewhat West Coast vibe, characterized by a laid-back yet distinctly dope feel.

This song, with its nostalgic and warm melody, gently envelops the listener’s heart.

Released as a single by ORANGE RANGE in August 2005, it’s a ballad chosen as the theme song for the drama “Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu” (“Be with You”).

Its message—that we’re connected under the same sky even when we’re apart—reminds us of enduring friendships.

It’s perfect for karaoke with friends you haven’t seen in a while, for farewell seasons, and for moments of reminiscing.

A heartfelt track that lets you reaffirm the bonds with your precious companions.

A feel-good party tune from Okinawa-born ORANGE RANGE! Just listening to it conjures up scenes of goofing around with friends under the blazing sun, and you can’t help but start moving your body.

This track is ORANGE RANGE’s sixth single, released in June 2004, and it became widely known as the song for Otsuka Beverage’s “MATCH” commercial.

It’s actually a cover of Little Eva’s “The Loco-Motion.” Put it on at the beach or while driving in the summer with friends or someone you like, and you’re sure to make the best memories! It’s the perfect song for anyone whose heart is fluttering at the start of a romance or who wants to make the most of summer.
