Summer-colored Memorieschūrippu11rank/position
When you hear Tatsuya Himeno’s sweet, bittersweet singing voice, doesn’t a dazzling scene from a distant summer day come to mind? This work is also known as the first set of lyrics that the renowned lyricist Takashi Matsumoto wrote professionally.
Released as a single in October 1973, it came out following Tulip’s signature hit “Kokoro no Tabi” (A Journey of the Heart).
The pure feeling of wanting to become the wind and whisk away the one you love rides on a fast, exhilarating melody, and still shines with undimmed brilliance today.
It might be wonderful to spend a quiet moment immersed in precious memories, overlapping them with your own youth.
The Second Christmaschūrippu12rank/position
When you spend time with someone special, even cold winter days feel warm…
This is a love song that sings of such straightforward feelings.
It’s a track by the band Tulip, known for producing numerous classics like “Saboten no Hana” and “Kokoro no Tabi,” included on their 16th album, “New Tune,” released in 1985.
The relaxed tempo and the rich, expansive sound arrangement are absolutely irresistible.
Listening to it brings a sense of calm.
How about letting this song color your Christmas this year?
Hakata-kko Junjochūrippu13rank/position
Tulip is a band from Fukuoka led by Kazuo Zaitsu.
This song shares its title with a manga that ran in Manga Action from 1976 to 1983, but the manga came first; the title was used with permission from the manga’s author, Hosei Hasegawa.
Since Tulip hails from Fukuoka, they have several songs about the city.
As the title suggests, this one sings about Hakata, and it mentions not only the word “Hakata” itself but also place names such as Yamakasa—the festival that represents Fukuoka—and Nakasu, famous for its entertainment district.
Happy Your Birthdaychūrippu14rank/position
A heartwarming song by Tulip filled with feelings for a loved one far away.
It was included on their 1980 album “We believe in Magic.” The protagonist’s determination to never forget to celebrate a birthday each year is striking, and the lyrics gently sing of past memories and the bond between the two.
Blending a pop melody with warm words, it evokes nostalgia and kindness in the listener.
Conveying the message that hearts remain connected even when apart, this piece is one you’ll want to listen to when expressing gratitude to someone special or celebrating a birthday.
Septemberchūrippu15rank/position
It’s a standout track that showcases Tulip’s unique blend of folk and rock.
The melody evokes the lingering traces of summer and a faintly melancholy autumn breeze that tugs at the heartstrings.
Crafted by the band’s leader, Kazuo Zaitsu, the song portrays the sudden beginning of a romance that arrives in a heart left quiet after summer’s bustle has faded, drawing you into a complex mix of excitement and wistfulness.
Released as a single in January 1974, it was also included on that year’s album TAKE OFF.
It’s the perfect number for a long autumn night, as you look back on summer memories and grow sentimental with the arrival of a new season.
Chidoribashi traffic jamchūrippu16rank/position
Tulip is a folk band also famous for having Kazuo Zaitsu as a member.
Formed in Fukuoka with members who are also from Fukuoka, they have many songs that mention local place names, and this song, “Chidoribashi Jutai” (Chidoribashi Traffic Jam), is one of them.
It was written about Chidoribashi in Hakata Ward, Fukuoka.
The bridge is very small, and since it only has one lane, it’s known for getting congested.
You can picture the scene, and the song has a literary quality—a bittersweet piece that squeezes your heart.
