Southern All Stars – Man of Glory [Official Music Video]

The theme song for Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.

It’s said that the song was created with Shigeo Nagashima—who received the People’s Honour Award—in mind, as suggested by the reference to “that person” in the lyrics.

The track number on the CD is “3,” the same as Nagashima’s jersey number, and the running time is 4 minutes 44 seconds, matching his career total of 444 home runs; however, it appears this was not intentional.

Southern All Stars – Far Country of the Island of the Gods [Official Music Video]

It’s a song inspired by a trip to Ishigaki Island in Okinawa, and the title directly refers to Ishigaki Island.

The lyrics feature many Okinawa-related words such as “awamori,” “Orion Beer,” and “sanshin,” and the sound of the sanshin also appears in the performance.

Southern All Stars – With Love to the Fighting Warriors [Official Music Video]

A Southern All Stars number that makes you feel both the light and darkness of modern society.

It was used as the theme song for the film Flying Tire, based on Jun Ikeido’s novel and starring Tomoya Nagase of TOKIO.

The track perfectly fits the film’s story, which is steeped in the irrationality between big corporations and small and medium-sized enterprises.

When we crawl and fight our way through society, perhaps in the end, each person is alone.

We trust and are betrayed, we’re crushed by unfairness, what should exist doesn’t, and what shouldn’t exist does…

For those who fight in solitude within such a society, this song may well be the one that truly delivers love.

Riding on the Time Machine of the Wind

Set along the Shonan coastline, this work weaves a breezy tale themed around life’s fresh starts.

With vocals by Haru Yoko and lyrics and composition by Keisuke Kuwata, it evokes a pleasant sea breeze alongside specific place names like Kamakura and Enoshima.

The scene of a drive escaping winter’s stagnation toward the seaside town brims with forward-looking energy, as if propelled by a tailwind, beautifully depicting the soothing sound of the waves.

Recorded in March 2025 for the album “THANK YOU SO MUCH,” their first in about ten years, the song was also performed on a nationwide tour.

It’s a perfect track for life’s turning points or whenever you’re ready to embark on a new beginning.

With a rock ’n’ roll beat that makes you want to sway and evocative scenes of a wistful night, this track stands out.

Keisuke Kuwata’s vocals brilliantly capture the loneliness of the night and a burning passion for music.

It’s filled with Southern All Stars’ signature playfulness and humor, revealing something new with every listen.

The lyrics—featuring shout-outs to DJs and nods to The Beatles—radiate a love of music.

It’s a perfect song to play while driving on a summer night.
