ORIGINAL LOVE / Happy Birthday Song (short version)

Released as a digital-only single on April 24, 2018, this song by ORIGINAL LOVE is an ode to life, gifted to coincide with Takao Tajima’s birthday.

It depicts the universal theme of celebrating birthdays from a unique perspective, carrying the message that everyone—from those who feel lonely to those in close relationships—is special.

Beginning with a stork appearing in the quiet night, the imagery evokes the anticipation of new life in a striking way.

Singing of the beauty of growing older and the importance of enjoying life, this work offers a warm cheer to everyone celebrating a birthday.

It’s also a perfect choice as background music for a gift video expressing gratitude to someone dear.

Meteor CityORIGINAL LOVE17rank/position

ORIGINAL LOVE “Meteoric City” - Rainy Shuto Expressway

A mid-tempo track from their fifth album, RAINBOW RACE, released in 1995.

Wrapped in a relaxed, gentle mood and soft tones, it fills you with a feeling of true happiness.

Although the lyrics depict urban scenes, there’s a romantic touch that exudes a hint of the extraordinary, and that’s just perfect.

Having a lover or family waiting for you at home is such a warm thing.

It matches especially well with situations like the Shuto Expressway or other highways, a magical song that makes the journey home feel thrilling.

It’s A Wonderful World

It’s included as the second track on the 4th album, “Kaze no Uta o Kike” (“Hear the Wind Sing”).

Tajima sings the whole thing in falsetto à la Curtis Mayfield.

The promotional video is really cool—he’s wearing a long black leather coat, singing as he walks through what looks like an American city or some other foreign streetscape.

BODY FRESHERORIGINAL LOVE19rank/position

ORIGINAL LOVE「LETS GO!～BODY FRESHER」

It’s a classic song that’s also on the indie release.

On the indie version, this track was placed first, but in the re-release album, some of the lyrics were changed and the track order was moved so it appears last.

Apparently, there was something about it that had been bothering Tajima ever since the indie release, and he was finally able to make the changes at the time of the re-release.

Deep French KissORIGINAL LOVE20rank/position

Deep French Kiss

This track from their first album has a title that makes you inevitably imagine what kind of kiss it might be.

The sound is jazzy with a very stylish vibe.

Until the chorus, Tajima’s vocals are sultry, and the falsetto at the end of the chorus is irresistible! It’s a song you’ll want to listen to while getting tipsy on a chic drink like a cocktail.

mia maria

This is a track from the 1995 release Rainbow Race.

It’s my favorite ballad by Original Love.

I’d recommend it for a night spent with someone special.

It’s a number that conjures up the image of a woman so beautiful she seems almost divine.
