Sly Woman feat. Hatake (Sharan Q)Kahara Tomomi
A very uplifting number where Tomomi Kahala sings one of Sharam Q’s signature songs.
Tomo-chan is stunningly beautiful no matter her age, and her vocal ability is incredible! She nails the high notes, making it a captivating and wonderfully charming performance.
CheersNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
This is a renowned song that has continued to resonate with many as an anthem celebrating life’s new beginnings.
Originally released in September 1980 on the album “Kampai,” it vividly depicts a celebratory scene lit by candlelight and carries a warm message of encouragement for a friend taking their first step forward.
Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s powerful vocals deliver hope and courage for the future.
In 1988, it was re-recorded and released as a single, becoming a major hit that reached No.
1 on the Oricon charts.
In the early 1990s, it was also featured in commercials for Kirin Lager Beer, further boosting its recognition.
To this day, it remains a timeless song passed down through the years, often chosen to convey heartfelt feelings to loved ones at important milestones in life, such as weddings and graduation ceremonies.
Abashiri PrisonTakakura Ken
This is a famous song by Ken Takakura that became a big hit as the theme song of the film “Abashiri Prison.” It’s a storied track said to have been banned from broadcast for “glorifying prison,” but it’s a cool, gritty number—a wonderful song that gradually fills you with strength.
Re Start ~To Tomorrow~Asami Yuma
This is an absolutely amazing song, seriously released by former top AV actress Yuma Asami.
After overcoming illness, I hope Yuma Asami spreads her wings and soars globally.
And if you watch Yuma Asami’s AV after listening to this, you’ll be, well, raring to go!
Green CityBank Band
This is a song covered by Bank Band, the charity band led by Kazutoshi Sakurai, originally a classic by Kazumasa Oda.
Despite being such a gentle, mellow ballad, it’s an incredible song that fills you with energy.
It makes you want to share your feelings with someone special.
RaideenYellow Magic Orchestra
A signature song by Yellow Magic Orchestra, known by the nickname YMO.
It was a huge hit at the time, and you could even hear it playing in pachinko parlors.
It’s an instrumental track with no vocals, but just listening to it without any singing still makes you excited and lifts your spirits.
