[ZARD] My Baby Grand ~Wanting Warmth~ (Guitar Cover)

This song delicately portrays the feeling of yearning for someone’s warmth on a snowy night.

The longing for connection and the warmth of the heart resonate deeply alongside Sakai’s clear, transparent vocals.

Released as ZARD’s 23rd single in December 1997, it debuted at No.

3 in its first week and went on to sell over 300,000 copies in total.

It was also featured as the song for NTT DoCoMo’s winter 1997 campaign commercial, warming the hearts of many listeners.

Beloved as one of ZARD’s classic winter songs, it’s a track that makes you think of someone special on a cold winter night.

Keep it breezy!ZARD42rank/position

Keep it breezy!

The theme song for Fuji TV’s “Mezamashi Doyoubi,” which beautifully captures the fresh feeling of a morning breeze.

ZARD’s vocalist Izumi Sakai’s clear, translucent voice and the bright, light rhythm resonate pleasantly.

Released in March 2006 as the second track on the double A-side single “Kanashii Hodo Anata ga Suki,” this song is one of ZARD’s most uplifting tunes.

Sakai’s positive lyrics pair perfectly with the refreshing pop sound.

It’s an ideal track for those who want a boost in the morning or need a change of pace.

Farewell still resides in my heart.

Centered around Izumi Sakai, who passed away suddenly in 2007, ZARD was a music unit that enjoyed particularly high popularity and recognition among Being-affiliated artists who dominated the J-POP scene in the 1990s.

This is their 16th single.

Used as the theme song for the film “Reiko Shiratori Desu!” (My Reiko Is Better!), the track creates a poignant atmosphere through the contrast between its transparent vocals and wistful melody.

Its message—telling oneself that while it can’t be forgotten now, someday it will come to an end within—portrays the delicate yet strong psychology of a woman.

A gem of a heartbreak song whose refreshing feel is tinged with melancholy, perfect for coloring long autumn nights.

I want to dance however I like.

Listening to it will surely make your heart swell.

A ZARD classic that sings of a yearning for freedom over a lively pop-rock rhythm.

It’s included on the album “HOLD ME,” released in September 1992.

The lyrics, which express doubts about a romantic relationship and a desire to live authentically, truly resonate.

Izumi Sakai’s clear, transparent vocals and the song’s positive message are captivating.

It’s a track you’ll want to hear when you want to reclaim your true self or take a new step forward.

Swaying FeelingsZARD45rank/position

Swaying Feelings – ZARD (Full)

Speaking of summer festivals, I always had the image that somewhere, a romance was beginning.

It wasn’t about people who met all the time; precisely because it was summer vacation, many chose that moment to confess their feelings.

Maybe because it was at night, it was easier to confess, so my image of summer festivals is tied to confessions.

This song brings back memories of those faint, gentle scenes.

ZARD - Can't Say It Honestly MV DVDRip

This is the B-side track of the second single, “Fushigi ne…,” and this song was composed by Izumi Sakai.

Unlike “Fushigi ne,” it’s an up-tempo, catchy tune, but like “Fushigi ne,” its poignant lyrics are a defining feature.

Even if you break tomorrowZARD47rank/position

If You Break Tomorrow ZARD

The song “Even If You Break Tomorrow,” included on the 9th album Wings of Time.

It’s a self-cover of a track originally provided to WANDS, and the intro creates impact as it progresses from a dreamy sound into a rock ensemble.

Because the vocals in the A and B sections are delivered in a markedly subdued tone, the chorus seems high in pitch; however, the overall key is low, so you may find it surprisingly easy to sing.

With its relaxed tempo that lets you sing calmly, it’s a number that conveys a sense of melancholy.

ZARD Dreaming of Tomorrow

A song that captivates with Izumi Sakai’s crystal-clear vocals and words that resonate deep in the heart.

Released in April 2003, it was also used as the ending theme for the popular anime Detective Conan.

With vocals that gently embrace universally relatable feelings—such as the emotions swaying between dreams and reality or regrets over past choices—this piece delivers comfort and empathy.

It’s a song that gives you the courage to keep looking forward without losing hope for the future.

When you’re feeling down or want to push yourself, listening to it may lift your spirits.

It’s a track filled with everything that makes ZARD so compelling—be sure to experience it.

O brilliance of the starsZARD49rank/position

ZARD - Oh, Shining Stars (Hoshi no Kagayaki yo)

Released as a double A-side with “Like a Sail Waiting for Summer,” this song was created with the aim of becoming a tune that people of all ages could remember—much like “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” You’ve probably heard its bright, catchy melody! Additionally, “Like a Sail Waiting for Summer” also serves as the theme song for the film “The Plot on the Horizon.”

Spread your wingsZARD50rank/position

Zard tsubasa wo hirogete

The 44th single Wings to Fly, released as a double A-side with In the Dark of Love, was used as the theme song for the animated film Detective Conan: Full Score of Fear and is also known as a cover of a song originally provided to DEEN.

Its tempo is relaxed, making it easy to sing, but the melody features many subtle rises and falls, so it’s easy to go off pitch and requires care.

The overall vocal range isn’t very wide, so be sure to grasp the melodic movement thoroughly before singing it at karaoke.
