Godiego ♪Galaxy Express 999♪

The well-known anime’s theme song was used for the movie version, and later it was also adopted as the opening theme for the TV special.

Around this period, Godiego sang about half of their lyrics in English, creating a fresh image even in the anime world.

It’s a song that makes you feel energized, as if your worries were never there, when you listen to it.

It was later covered by Kannazuki.

Friends "Dance at Night"

It would be lovely to play a song like this in the car.

How about a drive after retirement? The vocals will win you over with the gap between a super R&B singing voice and a cute appearance you’d never expect.

It’s a really wonderful track that lifts your spirits.

Your BalladSera Masanori & Tsuisto39rank/position

Your Ballad

The band Masanori Sera & Twist, which commanded overwhelming popularity with their authentic rock sound.

Up until then, there hadn’t been true rock in Japan’s mainstream.

Twist burst onto the scene with hard-hitting rock and made a huge impact in that era.

Among their works, the song I especially recommend is “Anta no Ballad.” Because it has a loud, powerful arrangement, it requires strong vocal projection.

That makes it somewhat challenging, but it’s a track that sounds fantastic—so give it a try.

Ah—Summer Vacation - TUBE (Tube)

There are countless classic summer songs, but one of the all-time staples is “Ah—Natsuyasumi.” This track was released by TUBE in 1985.

Even if it’s not from your generation, you probably know its famous chorus.

The lyrics depict a passionate summer romance on the beach, giving it a slightly mature vibe.

It’s a great choice to liven up various occasions, such as summer drives.

The use of percussion also adds to its summery sound, which is part of its appeal.

Yellow Magic Orchestra – “Rydeen“ (Official Music Video)

A signature song by Yellow Magic Orchestra, known by the nickname YMO.

It was a huge hit at the time, and you could even hear it playing in pachinko parlors.

It’s an instrumental track with no vocals, but just listening to it without any singing still makes you excited and lifts your spirits.
