Purple Rain

This is Purple Rain by Prince, the legendary singer-songwriter who sadly passed away in 2016.

It was used as the theme song for the film in which he starred.

The song is about a relationship that, though they want to stay together, must come to an end.

His passionate vocals in this sweeping ballad tighten the chest.

Hill of HopeKing ＆ Prince × 50TA10rank/position

[Limited Time] King & Prince × 50TA “Hill of Hope”

This track is from the album “STARRING,” a miraculous collaboration between King & Prince and Eiko Kano a.k.a.

50TA, released in December 2025.

Born from the variety show project “London Hearts SP: A Smash Hit Star Offers 50TA a Songwriting Request!!,” the song is presented as the theme for the fictional film “The Raido Brothers” featured on the album.

It weaves a warm wish to keep sharing laughter with fans, expressed through 50TA’s signature humor.

The song was also performed on TV music specials and during the dome tour, igniting venues with the call-and-response “Sashiagemasu!” “Itadakimasu!” It’s a fun, heartwarming pop tune that’s perfect for karaoke when everyone wants to come together and get hyped.

Adore

It’s a masterpiece that distills Prince’s aesthetic to its essence.

The song appears at the end of Sign O’ The Times and is also included on The Hits/The B-Sides and the Girl 6 soundtrack.

The version on The Hits/The B-Sides is edited down and shorter overall.

On CD, the Girl 6 release has the clearest instrument separation, making it especially pleasant to listen to.

In 2005, an American R&B group called Silk covered it, and that’s when I finally realized just how exceptional the original is.

BatdancePrince12rank/position

Batdance

This is “Batdance” by Prince, an artist who defined the music scene of the ’80s.

It’s included on the Batman soundtrack.

It was released in 1989, but even now it feels very fresh.

The funky rhythm and soulful vocals are really cool.

Using audio from the movie in the track is so innovative! I recommend it for anyone who wants to enjoy a stylish, unique Halloween.

Endorphine Machine / Prince

Speaking of K-1’s theme song, this is the track.

During the late 1990s, when K-1 reached the peak of its boom, Fuji TV— which broadcast the events— used this Prince song as its theme.

The guitar riff in the intro is striking, and even now, just hearing it brings back memories of the K-1 fighters’ matches from that era.

KissPrince & The Revolution14rank/position

Prince and the Revolution – Kiss (Official Music Video)

Released in 1986, this track brilliantly blurs the line between funk and pop, overturning musical conventions with an innovative approach—one of Prince’s quintessential songs that showcases his genius.

By completely eliminating the bassline and building a minimalist arrangement from just drum machine, choppy guitar, and a mesmerizing falsetto vocal, it stands as a milestone that opened up a new frontier for funk music.

Featured on the album Parade and used as part of the soundtrack to the film Under the Cherry Moon, it hit No.

1 on the U.S.

charts in April 1986, becoming Prince’s third American number-one single.

Sparse yet overwhelmingly groovy, it’s a classic I highly recommend to anyone who wants to feel funk coursing through their whole body—even on sweltering summer days.
