I want to take only you away just like this.DEEN57rank/position

DEEN “I Want to Steal You Away Just Like This <Kiseki Version>”

DEEN’s debut single “Konomama Kimi Dake wo Ubaisaritai,” released in 1993.

This song, a massive hit right out of the gate, remains DEEN’s biggest and most iconic hit.

These days, vocalist Ikemori has become quite famous as “the soba guy,” hasn’t he? (laughs) The composer is Tetsurō Oda, and the track strongly reflects the 1990s.

I bet many people still sing this song even now.

For women listening, it’s the kind of love song that makes you think, “I wish someone felt this way about me.”

Radio MagicEARTHSHAKER58rank/position

Radio Magic – EARTHSHAKER

A super cool band from the Kansai region that led Japan’s hard rock scene in the 1980s and ’90s.

Younger folks might not be familiar, so try asking your boss at work or your uncle.

They released at least 39 albums that we can confirm—proof enough of how incredible their activity was! This track, “Radio Magic,” kicks off with an aggressive guitar riff; plenty of people probably covered it in their youth.

The chorus is outstanding—hard-hitting yet somehow refreshing—so recommend it even to those who’ve never heard it before!

P.S.I LOVE YOUPINK SAPPHIRE59rank/position

[Official] PINK SAPPHIRE “P.S. I LOVE YOU” (Music Video) Pink Sapphire / P.S. I Love You (1st single)

They made waves by appearing on the legendary late-night show “Yūji Miyake’s Ikasu Band Heaven” and went on to debut just like that.

Their debut song “P.S.

I LOVE YOU” was used as a TV drama’s theme and became a smash hit, shooting straight to No.

2 on the Oricon charts—a true Cinderella band.

Their look, which seemed to fuse cute and cool into one, also drew attention at the time.

Their approachable songs—what you could call rock-pop—are still fun to listen to and share today.

If anyone knows them, it’d be great to sing along together.

Goodbye, Humanitytama60rank/position

Tama - Goodbye, Humanity

A signature song by Tama, known for its complex lyrics and distinctive sound.

Its themes, hinting at the destruction of the Earth’s environment and the future of humanity, strike deeply at the listener’s heart.

Released in 1990 as their major-label debut, it even achieved the remarkable feat of an appearance on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

A jazz-style self-cover was recorded in 2005, showcasing the song’s many facets.

For those in their 50s, it’s a track that evokes memories of their youth.

Sing it at karaoke and its unique worldview might captivate those around you.

It also suits scenes with a mature vibe, like late-night conversations with friends.

Tears of Magnolia ~acoustic~Sutādasuto☆Rebyū61rank/position

“Tears of Magnolia ~acoustic~” Stardust☆Review [LIVE]

Let me introduce a timeless ballad in music history, “Mokuren no Namida.” It’s a signature song by the rock band Stardust Revue and is also known as a commercial song for Nikka Whisky.

The piece portrays a woman overwhelmed by grief, mourning a man who has passed away.

Those who have experienced something similar will likely find deep resonance in it.

Coupled with vocalist Kaname Nemoto’s husky voice, it’s enough to bring tears to your eyes.

The Checkers LIVE 1985 “Stardust Stage”

I think everyone in their 40s and 50s knows The Checkers.

They have a number of hit songs.

While The Checkers mostly had upbeat, catchy numbers, “Hoshikuzu no Stage” is a sad love song.

It’s a song I’d love to hear a man sing at karaoke.

Please take everyone into a world of tears.

Recommendation for Adultsdohatsuten63rank/position

Dohatsuten “Otona no Susume (Live Ver)”

It’s a powerful and lively song by Dohatsuten that seems to teach us what it means to be an adult.

The light, rock ’n’ roll-inspired rhythm conveys a sense of exhilaration and fun.

While nostalgic for the childhood days when we wished we didn’t have to grow up, it also captures the joy that can only be felt after becoming an adult, giving the piece a positive, hopeful tone.

Rather than dwelling on the past, it feels like an encouraging message to look forward and think about the fun things yet to come.
