Rizo Raba -Resort Lovers-bakufū suranpu
Bakufu Slump, who symbolized the late-’80s band boom and gained popularity with their funky sound and powerful musicianship.
This single, which portrays the light and shadow of resort romance, was released in July 1989.
Its catchy structure—jumping straight into the chorus with no intro—grabs the listener’s heart in an instant and doesn’t let go.
Widely recognized as the theme for a Cosmo Oil commercial, it also left records that capture the fever of the era, such as ranking third on the final episode of TBS’s “The Best Ten.” Also included on the album “I.B.W,” the track captivates with a unique worldview that blends a buoyant mood with a touch of wistfulness.
Give it a listen when you want to raise the energy on a winter drive or get hyped with friends.
LithiumMAN WITH A MISSION
This track is a bold cover—interpreted in their own style—of a classic song from Nirvana’s legendary grunge milestone Nevermind.
While honoring the original’s dynamics where quiet and loud intertwine, the arrangement fuses a thunderous guitar riff with electronic beats, and it sounds incredibly cool.
It was produced as a contribution to the tribute album NEVERMIND TRIBUTE, released in April 2012, and later included on the acclaimed MASH UP THE WORLD.
The sound, where respect for the original collides with the band’s own identity, is a must-hear.
It’s brimming with emotional intensity—highly recommended not only for fans of ’90s alternative rock, but also for listeners who want to dig deeper into their musical roots.
REMEMBER YOUImawano Kiyoshirō
It’s a rock ballad that holds both a sense of loss and a strong will, saying that even if everything changes, memories remain.
Co-written with Shinji Miyake, a close friend of Kiyoshiro Imawano, it’s also known for featuring Hiroto Kōmoto on chorus.
Included on the album “GOD,” released in March 2005, the song was chosen as the theme for the film “Earth Story: The Evolution of Dinosaurs and the Future of Humans.” After Imawano’s passing, it was also used as the ending theme for the 2010 film “A Boy and His Samurai,” deepening the lingering resonance of the story.
Rather than offering words of comfort, the vocals confront the void of reality, yet somehow carry a warmth that sinks into your heart.
It’s a song to listen to closely when you’ve lost something precious or on a quiet night when you want to reflect on the past.
