SAY KOU SHOWRobāto Akiyama

SAY KOU SHOWRobāto Akiyama

Robert Akiyama’s masterpiece “SAY KOU SHOW.” It’s a relatively recent song, and with its lyrics packed full of dirty jokes, it seems to land better with people in their twenties and up than with teens.

Despite being a comic song, it features a groovy, smooth melody.

The vocal range is narrow and mostly sits in the lower to mid register, so most men can sing it in the original key without trouble.

It’s a song that’s more about expression than technique, so it’s best performed with exaggerated facial expressions in true Akiyama style.

You can almost picture that bittersweet scene of a secret crush: watching you run across the schoolyard from the classroom window.

This song, which sings of the hope and heartache of sprouting invisible wings on your uniformed back and taking flight toward the future, will make listeners’ hearts skip a beat.

Included on the single “Kibouteki Refrain Type D,” released in November 2014, this track is a special one for Team 8—their very first music video was made for it! When graduation approaches and you feel anxious about becoming an adult, doesn’t this song gently nudge you forward with a reassuring “It’s going to be okay”?

Uniform ResistanceAKB48

It’s a track bursting with energy that makes you want to shed the constraints called “uniforms” and sprint toward freedom! Riding on a fast, exhilarating rock sound, it belts out a spirit of rebellion against the grown-ups who keep saying “Don’t do this, don’t do that!” With just a slight change to a skirt’s length, the world looks different—that sharp, teen-specific sensitivity is vividly portrayed.

The song was first performed at a theater show in March 2010, and later included on the album Team K 6th Stage ‘RESET.’ When you feel stifled by rigid rules or everyday life, doesn’t listening to this song feel like throwing open the windows of your heart? It’s sure to give a strong push to anyone carrying smoldering feelings inside.

CELLULOID DOLLBOØWY

A hidden gem by BOØWY that captivates with Kyosuke Himuro’s decadent worldview! This track is included on their final original album, “PSYCHOPATH,” released in September 1987.

Borrowing the image of a cold doll crouching in the subway, the lyrics earnestly sing of modern desires—wealth, success, and true love—and, paired with Tomoyasu Hotei’s heavy arrangement, pierce deeply into the listener’s heart.

You can also sense a dark atmosphere that seems to foreshadow their curtain call, strongly reflected in this work.

If you listen on a night when you’re craving something, or feeling the emptiness that lurks behind success, you may find yourself resonating profoundly with its world.

SENSITIVE LOVEBOØWY

It’s a BOØWY number that tightens your chest with regret over a love that’s ended and the aching wish to turn back time.

Even though the heart has already gone cold, the protagonist can’t help but recall those happy days—you can almost picture their helplessness, can’t you? This track is a hidden gem, placed at the very end of the masterpiece Beat Emotion, released in November 1986.

On nights when you want to sink into a sentimental mood, it might be nice to fully immerse yourself in the gentle world this song creates.

A Nogizaka46 song that portrays the feelings of a girl saying goodbye to the special time called “uniform” and taking her first step into adulthood.
