SalamanderELLEGARDEN
ELLEGARDEN’s “Salamander” was released as a single in 2006 and is also included on the album ELEVEN FIRE CRACKERS.
The vocals unfold from a flat, almost spoken delivery into a chorus that mixes in higher notes, and the powerful sound that overlaps with this progression conveys a strong sense of momentum.
The overall sonic atmosphere also feels energetic, with a playing style that emphasizes a rough, forceful intensity, which is a key appeal.
Strongly accentuating the choppy guitar at the beginning may also be a point that boosts the drive of the entire track.
The Last Suppermouse on the keys
Beginning with a serene piano melody and overwhelming the listener with complex rhythmic structures that employ irregular meters and polyrhythms, this is one of mouse on the keys’ signature tracks.
Their unique sound—fusing post-rock, jazz, and minimal music—unfolds like a narrative, culminating in a tense climax driven by the interplay of fierce drums and weighty piano.
Released in 2007 as the opening track of the EP “Sezession,” it was also featured in a commercial for Shiseido’s cosmetics brand MAQuillAGE.
It’s ideal as background music for tasks that require concentration, and its intricate structure and dynamic development reveal something new with every listen.

Goodbye OceanSugiyama Kiyotaka
Kiyotaka Sugiyama is a key figure you can’t leave out when talking about Japanese AOR and city pop.
In his early days he leaned toward rock, but later he grew interested in R&B and soul, which led him to sing city pop that suited his vocal range.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend for men in their 50s is Sayonara no Ocean.
It features a characteristically city-pop, expansive vocal line, but the melodic contours are gentle, so as long as you find the right key, anyone can sing it with ease.
Something’s ComingOno Shunzo
Shunzo Ohno is a trumpet player who represents Japan’s jazz scene.
After moving to the United States in 1974, he joined Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers and began gaining international recognition.
His 1975 album “Something’s Coming,” released on East Wind, is an ambitious work that fuses jazz-funk and fusion.
Featuring top-tier musicians such as Roy Haynes, Don Pate, and Masabumi “Poo” Kikuchi, the album contains four tracks that captivate with complex rhythms and innovative arrangements.
You can clearly feel Ohno’s talent—later recognized with a Grammy nomination—on full display throughout this record.
It’s a highly recommended album for those looking to explore new possibilities in jazz and to experience the essence of Japanese jazz.
Whisper to me, je t’aime -Je t’aime-Ota Takako
With its refined melody and lyrical words, this piece evokes a world like a scene from a French film, resonating deeply in the heart.
Composed by Tetsurō Oda and graced by Takako Ohta’s clear, expansive vocals, it appeared in 1983 as an insert song for the TV anime Magical Angel Creamy Mami.
Included as the B-side of the single “BIN-KAN Rouge,” it won broad support beyond anime fans.
This ballad, delicately capturing the tenderness of first love, is a song that quietly stays by your side on peaceful nights spent with someone special, or in moments when you feel compelled to share feelings kept close to your heart.
Cyborg RobocchiSatō Yukari
Born from a 1982 TV anime, this lively theme song is a perfect match between composer Tetsurō Oda and singer-songwriter Yukari Sato’s vocals.
Its bright, poppy melody and approachable lyrics—cleverly using sound-imitative expressions—make it a track that can be enjoyed by both children and adults.
The EP record released by King Records features a jacket illustration of Robocchi and the heroine, Sachiko Yukino, beautifully capturing the world of the anime that aired on the TV Tokyo network.
This song is perfect for lifting a tired spirit or for savoring the nostalgic charm of Showa-era anime tunes.
