Although they disbanded in 2000, the four-piece rock band THE STREET SLIDERS—whose unwavering commitment to their own musical style had a tremendous impact on countless musicians—left a lasting legacy.
“Norainu ni sae Narenai,” featured on their debut single “Blow The Night!” and their first album “SLIDER JOINT,” is a track with a bluesy ensemble that lingers in your ears.
The gritty vocals riding over the emotional guitar sound are sure to take anyone of that generation back to their youth.

All the coins I haveTHE STREET SLIDERS2rank/position
The Street Sliders were a band that left a huge impact over their 17-year run.
Just saying the nicknames Harry, Ran-Maru, James, and Zuzu brings back vivid memories of their dazzling stage presence as if it were yesterday.
This song, “Arittake no Coin” (“Every Last Coin”), is their 14th single.
The lyrics—about someone who feels they have nothing, yet wants to do anything for the one they love—are gentler than they look on the page, keeping just the right distance from the bluesy melody line without clinging too closely.
Incidentally, starting with this single, their releases shifted from vinyl to 8 cm CDs.
Even the phrase “8 cm CD” feels nostalgic now.
The Clown’s MelancholyTHE STREET SLIDERS3rank/position
This track, whose husky vocals sink into your chest, is The Street Sliders’ “Dokeshi no Yuuutsu” (“The Clown’s Melancholy”).
It’s a beautiful ballad with a dry, aching guitar sound.
A classic you’ll want to play in those moments of sudden loneliness on a tipsy walk home.
It’s included on the album “Ganjigarame.”
Dancin’ DollTHE STREET SLIDERS4rank/position
THE STREET SLIDERS debuted in 1983.
Their signature songs include “Arittake no Coin” and “Nora Inu ni sae Narenai.” This track, “Dancin’ Doll,” is included on their second album, and it has a languid vibe with a bluesy sound that’s just incredibly cool.
Baby, I’m at a loss.THE STREET SLIDERS5rank/position
This song blends a bittersweet message themed around heartbreak and loneliness with The Street Sliders’ distinctive sound.
Released on January 21, 1988, it was an innovative track for its time, incorporating reggae rhythms in a way that was rare back then.
Characterized by a simple beat and a memorable melody line, HARRY (Hiroaki Murakoshi)’s poignant vocals resonate deeply.
For men in their 50s, it may be a song that brings back memories of their youth.
At karaoke, delivering it gently and with feeling can turn it into a classic that profoundly moves listeners.

The Street Sliders, the legendary band that shocked Japan’s rock scene.

Heavenly TrainTHE STREET SLIDERS7rank/position
The Street Sliders tore through their 20-year career as if racing against time.
They charged straight down the middle of rock without a glance to the side, and I imagine many people are still fans today.
What stands out about the song “Heaven Train” is how short the lyrics are—you’ll probably be surprised if you look at the lyric sheet.
The content feels reckless and self-destructive, yet also as if it’s moving forward according to some plan—what you see changes depending on who’s listening.
One interpretation is that the “heaven” they sang about was actually “hope.” To mark the 40th anniversary of The Street Sliders’ debut, an official website has launched.
