Stand By Me

A song by Saucy Dog that sings about the real struggles felt in that transitional phase from adolescence to adulthood—when you don’t want to grow up but have to keep moving forward.

It was released digitally in advance in September 2019 and included the following month on the mini-album Blue Period.

Shinya Ishihara’s unpretentious lyrics and emotionally rich vocals resonate powerfully while gently comforting anxious hearts, making it a rock number that truly hits home.

Even as it holds the fear and bittersweetness of climbing the steps into adulthood, it offers a warm cheer to those mustering the courage to take their first step.

It’s a classic that gently nudges anyone standing at a major crossroads in life—like graduation or retirement—so give it a listen as farewell party background music.

It carefully portrays the delicate feelings of a woman who can’t express herself well: while harboring the desire to know the other person more and to have them all to herself, and feeling love for them, she’s already fed up, believing there’s nothing more she can do.

Chosen as the theme song for ABEMA’s dating reality show “Don’t Be Fooled by Me and Mr.

Wolf,” the track was released digitally in August 2024, and is memorable for its emotional band sound and Shinya Ishihara’s vocals.

It’s a perfect song for those who can’t grasp how the person they like truly feels and are struggling with inner conflict.

Recommended for anyone who can relate to the sorrow of loving someone yet being unable to move forward.

Saucy Dog “You, Who Lives on the Moon” MUSIC VIDEO

This is a song by the three-piece rock band Saucy Dog, perfect for listening to on an autumn night with a beautiful moon.

Included on the mini-album Blue Period, released in October 2019, the song was also performed on television and became a topic of conversation.

Why not give it a listen on a slightly sentimental autumn night, as you think of someone far away?
