Eikichi Yazawa - “Truth” Music Video

Eikichi Yazawa, the legend who has continued to lead Japan’s rock scene.

Released to mark the 50th anniversary of his solo debut, this song is a superb ballad created through his first-ever collaboration with lyricist Yukinojo Mori.

It was released as a single in August 2025 and chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “The Last Appraiser.” It is also included on the album “I believe.” Set to a tender yet heartrending melody, the lyrics express a yearning to seek the truth within falsehoods and the fragility of love, resonating deeply with listeners.

It’s a track that gently embraces you when you want to face yourself on a quiet night.

Silk Dress (Remastered 2022)

A song with a striking blues harp (harmonica) in the middle.

It has a distinctive character, and the song itself is powerful, so it should stand out among many of Yazawa’s tracks.

The catharsis and vocal delivery as it builds toward the ending are superb.

Friday’s Freeze MoonYazawa Eikichi73rank/position

Friday’s Freeze Moon (Remastered 2022)

A rock ballad included on the 2001 release YOU, TOO COOL.

The lyrics were written by Ken Takahashi.

The sound is simply constructed, but the conversational, talk-like melody bursts forth.

The highlight, I think, is where the final swell intertwines with the guitar’s single-note lines.

The way the emotion soars endlessly toward the latter half is truly beautiful.

Silver Necklace (Remastered 2022)

A track included on the 1992 release “Anytime Woman.” Lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto.

It’s an up-tempo rock number.

The chorus features a powerful melody.

I think it really fires up the crowd at live shows! On stage, it’s memorable to see Yazawa running around while singing.

By the final outro, you’ll feel like raising your fist and shouting.

Try copying it at karaoke and your energy will soar!

Kaze Theater (Remastered 2022)

This song is included on the 14th album, Tokyo Night, released in 1986.

It’s a medium-tempo number with a sweet melody.

The upbeat lyrics, right in the middle of the bubble era, really evoke the times.

The lyrics tell of someone who’s been stood up by his girlfriend at a hotel and has been waiting for two days, wondering where she might be now.

The depiction of the jet lights seen from the hotel terrace feels like a scene lifted from a film, conveying a poetic beauty and a sense of storytelling.

Enchanting Makeup (Remastered 2022)

This song is included on HEART, the 21st studio album released in 1993.

The lyrics were written by Tetsuya Chiaki, who has worked on many Yazawa songs.

It’s a rock ’n’ roll number with a lavish stadium sound.

The album came out around the time he was appearing in BOSS commercials that became a hot topic, and shortly after he starred in the drama “Ari yo Saraba,” marking a period when his household name recognition surged.

Maybe it’s precisely because he’s the legend of the rock world, Yazawa, that he can sing a song that asks questions like this.

Office workers do live in a competitive world and may be under control in some ways, but there are reasons why they can’t just quit so easily.

Still, to blow off steam, listen to Eikichi and think, “If I really want to quit, I’ll quit!”
