Dear My SisterToukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora8rank/position

This song embraces the broad theme of “beloved brothers and sisters,” not only in the sense of blood-related sisters, but also from the perspective of peace for humanity.

It’s a grand-scale piece whose bright tone carries a message open to various interpretations, so I believe different pairs of sisters who listen to it will each come away with their own impressions.

Stars overtaking meToukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora9rank/position

This song by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra leaves a striking impression with its exhilarating sense of speed, like sprinting full throttle under a clear blue sky.

It was written as the theme song for Kyoto Racecourse, which reopened after renovations in April 2023.

The fact that the music video was filmed on the turf at Kyoto Racecourse is another notable highlight.

The first-ever attempt at twin vocals by NARGO and Kin-ichi Motegi reflects Skapara’s intention to make a fresh start alongside Kyoto Racecourse.

It’s a track that focuses on the act of running, evoking the image of cheering on the racehorses.

Released in March 2014, the collaboration song “Nagareyuku Sekai no Naka de” by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra and MONGOL800 is a slightly stylish and refreshing track.

Its easy-to-follow tempo makes it a recommended song that anyone can sing.

“Usotsuki wo Tsuku Kuchibiru” (Lips That Tell Lies) is a single by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra released in 2015.

It features female singer Rina Katahira as the guest vocalist.

The lyrics were written by Mr.

While it features a lively ska sound, this song weaves a bittersweet story themed around a breakup between a man and a woman.

Released by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra in August 2001, it has lyrics by Atsushi Yanaka and music by Tsuyoshi Kawakami, expressing the pain and poignancy of heartbreak.

The track was included on the May 2002 album “Stompin’ On DOWN BEAT ALLEY,” and was also selected for the March 2007 best-of compilation “BEST OF TOKYO SKA 1998-2007.” Beneath its outwardly bright sound lies a subtle play of emotions that resonates deeply with listeners.

This is a striking track with a powerful bluesy resonance, brought to you by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra as they celebrate their 35th anniversary.

TAKUMA (from 10-FEET) delivers an energetic vocal performance that blends seamlessly with Skapara’s brass section, stirring the listener’s heart.

The lyrics, filled with the ache of lost time and the desire to reunite, convey a message that honors hope for the future even while facing loneliness.

Released in May 2024, this song gives a push to those who want to remember past bonds while stepping toward new horizons.
