RomanceŌe Senri
The fifth single, released in July 1984.
The arrangement was handled by Tetsuya Komuro, who was a rising star at the time.
It was apparently the first time Senri Oe himself asked Komuro to do the arrangement, and their chemistry produced a fresh new sound.
The forward-leaning, almost breathless rhythm and the shimmering tones of the synthesizer are especially striking.
Carried by this exhilarating sound is a delicate portrayal of love—the paradox of feeling lonelier than before you met.
It’s not just sweet and bittersweet; the deeper the love grows, the more the ache tightens in your chest.
It’s a classic that captivates with its curious charm, where vivid scenes of youth coexist with experimental sound.

The Tokyo song sung by Ryuji Akiyama, a multitalented performer who captivates audiences, is a track that makes you tip your hat to his inventiveness.
The piece portrays the pride of a fictional actor who, from the window seat of a location van, safeguards the image of “Tokyo, the city where celebrities are.” Set against neighborhoods like Shibuya, Odaiba, and Asakusa, its story suggests that his “invisible acting” supports the dreams of tourists—an affectionate ode to the behind-the-scenes people who uphold Tokyo’s pop culture.
