Proof – ZONE

ZONE was a girls’ band active from 1997 to 2005, and their signature song “secret base ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~” remains a classic that is still covered by many artists today.

The track is a girlish, uplifting anthem and is very cute, so I highly recommend it.

H.A.N.A.B.I ~The Summer You Were There~ – ZONE

A summer rock number that blends a driving sense of speed with a poignant ache, as if awakening the faint stirrings of first love slumbering deep in the heart.

The Hokkaido-born girls’ band ZONE released it in 2003 as their 10th major-label single.

Its lyrics, which capture fleeting yet cherished moments of love against summer scenes—fireworks, sunsets, and shrine stone steps—resonate no matter how old you are.

Issued as a strictly limited-edition run of 100,000 copies with six tracks, including solo arrangements for each member, it reached No.

3 on the Oricon weekly chart and was certified Gold.

Though it had no tie-ins, it became a classic on the strength of the song alone, winning over many listeners’ hearts.

It’s a track you’ll want to play when that sudden end-of-summer loneliness hits, or when you feel like remembering who you were back then.

Fragments of a Dream

ZONE, the girls’ band that took the early 2000s by storm.

This song, released in 2002 and used as the theme for Kids War 3, was created as an answer song to the big hit “secret base ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~.” The title appears in the chorus.

Each word slips in like a puzzle piece, wrapping you in a feeling that depicts the inner struggle of growing up as time passes from those boyhood days we once dreamed of.

No matter what future we live through, the “great hope” we felt back then may continue to remain forever.

ZONE – My Letter (MV)

A classic by the girls’ band ZONE that captures the frustrating feeling of a crush when you just can’t say “I like you” out loud.

The gentle tone of the acoustic guitar layered with shimmering strings creates a bittersweet yet beautiful sound.

The highlights are the vocal relay that showcases each member’s individuality and their interweaving harmonies.

The pure emotions, expressed in down-to-earth words, sink quietly into the listener’s heart.

Released in October 2003 and included on the album “N,” this song also became familiar as the ending theme of the popular music program “HEY! HEY! HEY! MUSIC CHAMP.” If you’re struggling to convey your feelings to someone important, its delicate melody will tenderly stay by your side—and it just might give you a gentle push forward.
