New Tokyo Rhapsody / Tatsuro Yamashita Cover

Neo Tokyo Rhapsody by Tatsuro Yamashita, included on the 1988 album “Boku no Naka no Shonen” and released as a single the following year.

While many Tokyo-themed songs evoke a jumble of images—slightly dark, underground, and nocturnal—this track is refreshingly bright and uplifting.

Centered on themes of budding love, freshness, and a piercing blue sky, it’s a song that gives you a little flutter in the heart.

A perfect number to accompany a walk under the blue sky at summer’s end.

Eternal Full MoonYamashita Tatsuro79rank/position

[Cover] Eternal Full Moon / Tatsuro Yamashita feat. Shishun Katayama (Flute, Arr.)

It’s an upbeat full-moon song you’ll want to play on a late-night drive with your lover.

It’s “Eien no FULL MOON,” released by Tatsuro Yamashita in 1979.

A man quietly approaches the window so as not to wake his sleeping beloved and gazes at the beautiful full moon.

He compares his fulfilled heart and gentle, embracing love to the full moon, conveying just how happy he is now.

Listening to it puts you in a tender mood, so it’s a song I’d love for you to play together when you spend a full-moon night with your partner.

Too cool!!! Tatsuro Yamashita Quotes Collection (1)

I was invited to a dinner show, and this is why I declined.

Work may be for making money, but the reason we work might not be money.

Even if it’s not like music is for an artist, I think it’s fine to say we won’t do what we don’t want to do.
