Now’s the time to listen! Uplifting Showa-era songs that brightened Japan

The Showa era was a time when Japan underwent major changes, having experienced war and then rapid economic growth.

From the late Showa period into the Heisei era, the bubble economy collapsed, and perhaps it was precisely because those times were so unstable that many people drew energy from music.

So this time, we’re introducing some uplifting songs that represent the Showa era.

Each one is a classic that brightened the hearts of the nation, so they’re tracks we hope people of all generations will give a listen to!
