Youthful Days / Koichi Morita & Top Gallant (with lyrics)
youthMorita Kōichi to Toppugyaran

March ushers in graduation season, and in quiet moments the scenes from those days come flooding back, don’t they? This is the smash hit single released in August 1976 by Koichi Morita and Top Gallant, later performed at the following year’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

The lyrics by Yū Aku beautifully capture the delicate emotions that sway over the six months leading up to graduation, resonating with memories of farewells and new departures that everyone has experienced.

The song has been beloved across generations—so much so that it even inspired a later television drama.

Humming it when you meet up with old friends or as you feel the mild spring air will vividly bring back the brilliance of youth.

As you reflect on your own memories, let yourself be carried away by that nostalgic melody.

At just 2 minutes and 10 seconds, it’s quite a short song, and I think it’s an easy one for anyone who admires folk music to try! As the title suggests—“beautiful but fleeting,” “knowing it will disappear,” “yet wanting to keep looking”—it’s an adult folk song that overlays those symbols onto love and life.

The lyrics are very short, but that brevity is packed with meaning and makes you think, and the very last line really pierces the heart.

The vocal range isn’t too high, so it’s perfect for a spoken, storytelling style; I think it’s best to sing the lyrics carefully with feeling.

Especially the last phrase—it can be fun to experiment with how you want to deliver it in your own way!

As the title suggests, it’s a cool dance number that captures unexpected, shocking events and emotional upheavals with thrilling, “flash-like” words.

It distills KAT-TUN’s signature sharp, urban worldview, and the gripping tension that seizes the listener in an instant is irresistible.

Though performed on NHK’s The Shonen Club and at concerts since around 2005, this legendary masterpiece went unreleased in audio form for a long time.

Answering fervent fan requests, it finally received its first CD release on the fan-club–exclusive edition of the single “Roar,” released in March 2021.

It also drew attention for being packaged at the milestone of the group’s 15th anniversary.

A masterpiece whose groovy rhythm, warm sound, and Kiyoshiro’s characteristically slightly cynical, introspective lyrics really resonate! This “Seken Shirazu” was the lead single from the classic 1992 album “Memphis.” It’s also known for being recorded in Memphis with the legendary band Booker T.

& the MG’s.

Originally a remake of a song from the ’70s, its B-side was the theme song for “Beat Takeshi’s TV Tackle,” so many people likely heard it back then.

The lyrics, which sing about not fitting into society, are perfect for moments when you want to pause and reflect.

The range isn’t wide and the tempo is relaxed, making it easy to sing, but be sure to cherish that distinctive, conversational nuance when you perform it.

Released in May 2017 as one half of a double A-side single, this track is a rock number that portrays the duality of human nature with intense sound and lyrics.

The words cynically question both the peril and the salvation inherent in the act of “believing,” sharply shaking the listener’s values.

The narration-like spoken parts that appear midway are eerie yet comical, showcasing Yojiro Noda’s theatrical expressiveness to the fullest.

It’s also known for being included later on the album ANTI ANTI GENERATION in a different mix.

Give it a listen when you want to question the notions of justice and common sense within yourself, or when a standard rock tune just won’t cut it.

Its worldview also ties in with the music video, which contrasts an angel and a devil; enjoying the visuals alongside the song brings out even greater depth.
