Smile FlowerTUBE85rank/position

TUBE Smile Flower Drum Cover - Tried playing the drums

A characteristically positive TUBE song, “Smile Flower.” It was used as the tie-in song for Ajinomoto’s “Knorr Cup Soup” commercial that aired starting in May 2019.

The up-tempo melody definitely feels quintessentially TUBE.

The lyrics convey a gentleness mingled with passion, and they also make you feel the passage of time for TUBE themselves, which is quietly moving.

When you’re feeling like you’ve been left behind or about to lose heart, listening to it can give you a lot of energy—drawing on TUBE’s own life experience—so I highly recommend it.

TUBE First Love

A song from TUBE—known for their strong summer image—that carries a subtly wistful atmosphere.

Nobutaka Maeda’s gentle vocals and Michiya Haruhata’s memorable melodies vividly evoke the memories of a first love that everyone experiences.

Released in June 2001 and peaking at No.

9 on the Oricon weekly chart, it was also selected as the image song for Nippon TV’s “Gekikukan Pro Yakyu 2001.” For Yomiuri Giants fans, it might be a particularly nostalgic track.

Listening to it at the end of summer is likely to bring back a bittersweet page of youth.

It’s also a heartwarming love song you’ll want to share with someone special.

TUBE - At the End of Summer

Speaking of TUBE, they’re practically synonymous with summer anthems—their beach songs fit so well that many are indispensable on any coastline.

Amid all that, this single-minded unrequited-love ballad is rare, but it’s a track where vocalist Nobutoki Maeda’s singing ability stands out even more.

While it’s a song about unrequited love, it’s also a love song that sings of heartfelt feelings.

TUBE Postscript

Against the backdrop of a cityscape bathed in the colors of sunset, a gentle melody that comforts the heart resonates.

In this work by TUBE, they sing a gem of a song about the loneliness and confusion felt amid the bustle of the city—and about hope.

Released in December 2007, it’s also cherished as a Christmas song that brings a warm light to the winter streets.

While delicately expressing the ache of being alone and the desire for human connection, it also conveys the strength of “somehow getting through today.” It’s a song I especially recommend to those worn out by city life or feeling lost in their journey.

"Weekend Only You" 091210

It features an arrangement that’s unusual for TUBE.

With drummer Matsumoto handling the composition, this track stands out on the album “SUMMER CITY,” yet it remains very popular, with many fans hoping to hear it performed.

It’s a romantic number.
