Omens of LoveT-SQUARE3rank/position

Omens of Love / Composed by Hirotaka Izumi / Arranged by Toshio Mashima

T-SQUARE is one of Japan’s leading instrumental bands.

While they’re known for a jazz fusion-centered sound, they also release orthodox pop rock.

Omens of Love is a classic that showcases T-SQUARE’s pop-rock side.

Its melody is highly catchy, and it was used as the theme song for the TV drama After School.

It may be orthodox, but that’s precisely why it’s packed with fundamentals—making it a must-check piece for those just starting to listen to wind ensemble music.

FACES　T-SQUARE　（Hall）

This is a well-known T-SQUARE number, famous as the F1 theme.

In fact, this piece is also related to F1; it was used as the theme song for Ayrton Senna, the late Brazilian hero.

The driving ensemble is complemented by guitar and wind synth, intertwining with a spacious, expansive feel.

[Cajón & Piano] Takarajima / Link to Note (T-SQUARE cover)

I’m sure many T-SQUARE fans—and even people who’ve played in wind ensembles—are familiar with this song.

It’s one of those classic instrumental pieces with an upbeat, catchy melody line that feels great! If you build a detailed, cajón-like beat using phrases that echo the original drum part’s 16th-note hi-hat, it should bring the overall groove of the track together.

It would look and sound awesome performed alongside guitar, piano, saxophone, and other instruments!

YOUR CHRISTMAST-SQUARE6rank/position

YOUR CHRISTMAS – T-SQUARE

This is a track included on T-SQUARE’s 14th album, WAVE.

Although “YOUR CHRISTMAS” is an instrumental, it’s a Christmas-themed piece—T-SQUARE’s take on a Christmas song.

It’s quite rare for an instrumental song to be this widely known as a Christmas tune, isn’t it?

T-SQUARE “HORIZON” @ “HORIZON” Release Commemorative Limited Live

T-SQUARE is an instrumental band also known for the massive hit “TRUTH,” the theme song of Fuji TV’s F1 Grand Prix.

The track “HORIZON,” featured as the title song on their 46th album, is striking for its pleasant guitar comping and the signature tones of the wind synthesizer.

The arrangement, which proceeds in 7/4 time throughout, is complex yet irresistibly engaging.

It’s a track you’ll want to keep listening to, with highlights in every part to pay attention to.
