Lover of Möbiusushirogami hikaretai
A lyrical love song that layers an endlessly continuing romance over a Möbius strip.
Though it’s an idol song that sings of eternal love, Yasushi Akimoto’s lyrics, infused with philosophical notions like déjà vu and past lives, harmonize beautifully with Tsugutoshi Gotō’s graceful melody.
Ushirogami Hikaretai released the song in November 1987, and it reached No.
4 on the Oricon charts.
It was also included on the album “BAB” and became well-loved as the ending theme for the Fuji TV anime “Tsuideni Tonchinkan.” It’s a recommended track for twilight dates or when you want to sink into memories of first love.
Savor this gem of a pop tune—brimming with the bittersweet ache of youth—in a moment of quiet.
Blue waterMorikawa Miho
This is a masterpiece whose crystal-clear, refreshing melody and hope-filled lyrics resonate deeply.
It beautifully expresses a profound bond with a loved one, the courage to keep moving forward, and the excitement for a future brimming with limitless possibilities.
Miho Morikawa’s powerful, expansive vocals further enhance the song’s appeal.
Released in April 1990, it was selected as the opening theme for the NHK anime “Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water,” becoming a popular hit that stayed on the Oricon charts for 11 consecutive weeks.
Also included on the albums “VOICES” and “GOLDEN☆BEST Miho Morikawa,” this song is perfect for adding color to everyday life or giving yourself a boost when you need it.

An anime based on Tetsuya Chiba’s original work, belonging to the then-popular “bancho” (delinquent leader) genre.
The story follows a very mischievous protagonist who solves various school-related problems.
The characters filling roles like henchman, rival, and Madonna (the school beauty) carry a nostalgia unique to that era.
“Kunikatsu-sama no Otoori-dai” features a festival-like musical style and is wonderfully cheerful.
Song of YattermanYamamoto Masayuki
This song was created in 1977 as the opening theme for the anime Yatterman.
Masayuki Yamamoto wrote, composed, and performed it, in collaboration with the children’s choir Shonen Shojo Gasshodan Mizuumi.
Its bright, powerful melody is fitting for a hero-themed show and leaves a strong impression.
The song was remade in 1993 as “Yatterman no Uta ’93,” and was re-released on a 12 cm CD in 2008, continuing to be loved for many years.
The lyrics depict the righteous hero Yatterman battling the villainous Doronbo gang, captivating children’s hearts and never letting go.
It’s a recommended track when you want a boost of energy, wrapped in a sense of nostalgia.
Mach GoGoGoBōkaru Shoppu
It was an anime about sports car racing that was especially popular among boys.
It might even have sparked the sports car boom that followed.
