Takahara Pistol / Forever Young (Ending theme for TV Tokyo’s Drama 24 series “Byplayers: What If Six Famous Supporting Actors Lived Together in a Share House?”)

Takihara Pistol’s classic “Forever Young,” released as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s drama “Byplayers: What if 6 Famous Supporting Actors Lived Together?,” is memorable for its moving lyrics themed around “who we were back then” and its straightforward yet somewhat wistful melody.

The song is also easy to sing, with no particularly challenging parts aside from the long note before the chorus.

That said, it does call for power, so it’s recommended for people with a rich or slightly raspy voice.
