Winter RivieraMori Shinichi
Fuyu no Riviera by Shinichi Mori is a classic winter song that represents the Showa era.
Released in 1982, it remains popular and has been covered by many artists, including Kanjani Eight and Keizo Nakanishi.
The lyrics depict a breakup between a man and a woman, with the man who leaves first trying to keep up appearances and act cool to the very end.
For those in their 60s, this song came out right as they were transitioning from youth to adulthood.
Some may recall parting ways with someone important at a major turning point in life back then.
As you think of that person, try singing it coolly—just like Mori-san!
I want to become the wind.THE BOOM
A heartwarming message song woven from samba rhythms and Japanese lyrics.
It’s a gem that rides on a light, flowing groove to express the wish to be free together with a loved one.
Released in March 1995 as THE BOOM’s 16th single, it was also included on the previous year’s album “Kyokutou Samba.” Chosen for numerous commercials, including DC Card and J-PHONE, it left a lasting impression on many people.
With rich percussion and the gentle vocals of Kazufumi Miyazawa in perfect harmony, the song was featured in high school music textbooks and, in July 2013, realized a collaboration with a popular idol group on Fuji TV’s “FNS Uta no Natsumatsuri.” It’s a moving track to play when you want to feel the bond with someone special.

My chest hurts.Yūkadan
Yūkadan is a legendary band fronted by Atsuki Kimura, whose distinctive voice—often called an “angelic raspy voice”—leaves a lasting impression.

When it comes to Yūkadan’s signature songs, many people probably think of Mune ga Itai (“My Chest Hurts”).
Though it’s one of their most representative tracks and the raspy delivery can make it seem challenging, the vocal line itself is simple and easy to sing.
It really shines if you sing it at a karaoke after-party once your voice is a bit worn out.

Akira Fuse’s “Kimi wa Bara yori Utsukushii” is one of his signature songs, known for its soaring, glamorous melody.
