[Railway PV] AMBITIOUS JAPAN! 2023 Part 1

When you think of JR Central and the Tokaido Shinkansen, isn’t this the song that comes to mind for many people? It was created as a campaign song for JR Central and became a commercial jingle, and until 2023 it was also a familiar onboard chime on the Shinkansen.

The lyrics, which depict setting out on a journey to see someone important and facing oneself, along with the fresh, expansive melody line, make it a truly captivating song!

Happy Birthday – Tokio

TOKIO’s “Happy Birthday” is a track included on their sixth album, Harvest, released in 2006.

It’s a bright, poppy song where the nationally beloved TOKIO cheerfully celebrates your birthday.

It’s easy to play even for a friend you only just met at school, so definitely consider selecting this song!

TOKIO Yesterday’s

A song that begins with an introspective scene—gazing at a motionless swing in a quiet park.

In truth, its theme is a powerful story of rebirth, overcoming the past and stepping into the future.

This track was included on the classic album “YESTERDAY & TODAY,” released in February 2000, and it also became the theme song for the popular TV show “Gachinko!”.

When you’re struggling at a turning point in life, the song’s dramatic progression and band sound will surely give you a push forward.

A rock number written and composed by Tomoya Nagase, chosen as the theme song for the drama “Wanitokagegisu.” Nagase reportedly wrote it in empathy with the clumsy yet determined protagonist struggling to live.

The earnest desire to break free from everyday anxiety and loneliness rides on a straightforward band sound that resonates deeply.

Released in August 2017, this work marked a milestone for TOKIO as a five-member group.

It’s a song you can cherish as an anthem of support: when you want to change a reality that isn’t going your way, it carries a comforting warmth that gently nudges you forward.

It’s the 37th single, released in 2007.

The song was written and composed by Miyuki Nakajima, and its strongly message-driven lyrics and distinctive melody convey the struggle of living desperately amid harsh realities.

TOKIO–7 p.m. News

This is the opening theme song for the elementary school arc of Miho Obana’s original series “Kodomo no Omocha,” which aired from 1996 to 1998.

The original creator, Obana, married Seiji Mutoh, the composer for Kodocha.
