Taiyouzoku “Bare Light Bulb” Shibuya O-WEST 2013.5.5

An encouragement song in Hanadan’s style, written in honor of a friend who had been in a band in Tokyo but returned to his hometown in Fukushima to become a doctor after the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Rather than chanting “Hang in there, hang in there,” it’s crafted as a talking blues that speaks frankly about what he feels for himself and the people around him.

The intensity of the words is on another level—an unexpectedly chest-tightening track that stirs your heart.

Sun Tribe – My Friend

Highly recommended for those who want to passionately convey overflowing gratitude to a friend is Taiyouzoku’s “Tomodachi yo” (“Friend”).

It’s included on the album Taiyou.

It’s a song for the friend who shares memories with you in every season and at every moment.

It’s packed with gratitude for having met you and for staying close ever since, and with the hope that you’ll keep being there from here on out.

The lyrics straightforwardly express that gratitude, so it’s especially recommended for people who feel a bit shy about saying “thank you” outright.

Send it with warmth and love—just like Taiyouzoku!

It’s a song that speaks to the heart and helps you reexamine your values.

It makes you realize how much you’re supported by the people around you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAYtaiyozoku4rank/position

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Taiyozoku

For those who want to celebrate a birthday brightly with everyone, we recommend Taiyouzoku’s “HAPPY BIRTHDAY.” The song has many parts where everyone sings together, so it’s perfect if you want to really hype things up.

Even if you’re not confident in your singing, it’s fine when everyone sings together.

It’s also great to try singing while playing acoustic guitar or cajón.

Using maracas or a tambourine will make the vibe even brighter! Be sure to use this song to give your friend a grand birthday celebration.

Sun Tribe – Comrade -Live Ver.-

A track included on the first mini-album Otoko no Ko, released in 2002.

Even during tough times, having our seniors around helps us get through.

And if those seniors ever lose their way from now on, this is a song that conveys: this time, we’ll be by your side—it’s going to be okay.

The bonds we’ve all built together won’t disappear so easily, right?

Tewotsunagou

Taiyouzoku is a four-piece rock band named after the concept of wanting to play music as warm as the sun.

The title track of their second album, “Te o Tsunagou” (“Let’s Hold Hands”), features positive, heartfelt lyrics that are truly soothing.

While there are some tricky parts—like the hard-to-grasp drum rhythm right from the opening—the overall arrangement is simple, making it a great practice song for beginner band members.

Because the track demands tight, precise playing, it’s a number you’ll want to tackle with careful attention to rhythm.

COMIN’ KOBE 15 Taiyouzoku Live – Uncut Footage

It’s included as the 10th track on the fifth album “Taiyo,” released in 2005.

It’s a song I recommend to exam takers and one I’d love to give as a congratulatory gift for passing.

It’s especially recommended for nights when you’re frustrated, unbelievably happy, or something special has happened.

If you belt it out at karaoke, it’s sure to relieve stress.
