This song powerfully expresses the bittersweet emotions of unrequited love.

It was used as an insert song in the NHK General TV drama “Vanilla na Mainichi” in March 2025.

Through the drama, SUPER BEAVER portrays the frustration of one-sided love with gentle yet courageous words that leave a deep impression on listeners.

The track is included on the single “Kataomoi / Namida no Shoutai,” released on March 12 of the same year, blending seamlessly with the drama’s worldview.

It’s a song that stands beside those who still can’t convey their feelings and those weighed down by the ache of unrequited love—highly recommended for anyone seeking encouragement and empathy.

This song, “Hito to shite” (“As a Human”), included on SUPER BEAVER’s fifth album released in 2016, is a gentle number, yet with vocalist Shibuya’s powerful voice, it feels as if it speaks directly to the depths of your heart.

In life, of course we struggle, and sometimes we even tell little lies.

But don’t we all tend to be strict with others while conveniently overlooking our own flaws? This is a song that makes you feel you can accept those all-too-human—if put bluntly, “ugly”—sides of yourself without agonizing over them.

If I had been living aloneSUPER BEAVER

Their popularity has seen a revival thanks to the highly popular one-take YouTube project THE FIRST TAKE.

The charm of this song, first and foremost, lies in the beauty of each and every lyric, as well as its dynamic structure where the chorus returns multiple times.

It’s a relaxed, mid-tempo rock track, and I feel this kind of song best showcases their appeal.

The warm and reassuring message carried by such a beautiful melody is sure to resonate even with listeners who don’t yet know them.

In 2020, they signed a new major-label contract, and this song was released as one of the tracks on their first single under that deal.

I love youSUPER BEAVER

This is a gem of a song that passionately conveys the importance of honestly expressing love and gratitude.

It’s a track from the album “I Love You,” released in February 2021, and it helped mark their first full-length album after re-signing with a major label.

Also included on the same album, “Toppakou” was used as the opening theme for the second cour of the TV anime Haikyu!! TO THE TOP, and “Jidai” was featured in a corporate commercial for NTT West.

With its straightforward lyrics and SUPER BEAVER’s signature powerful sound, this song underscores the preciousness of human connections and the importance of caring for others.

A staple that always energizes their live shows, it’s an essential track when talking about the band.

Give it a listen when you want to express your feelings to someone important in your daily life, or when you want to release emotions you’ve been holding inside.

Their single “Highlight/Hitoride Ita Naraba,” to be released in June 2020, marks their fresh restart on a major label.

They had been active on a major label for a little over a year starting in 2009, then returned to the indie scene, honed their skills, and are now taking on the majors again.

Many fans were moved to tears along with Shibuya when the announcement was made.

They’re a band whose songs, carrying messages that hit you in the heart, are loved across generations.

The True Nature of TearsSUPER BEAVER

This song delicately portrays the emotions that sway between the desire to reach someone and the sense of distance between people.

Produced as the theme song for NHK General’s late-night drama “Vanilla na Mainichi” in January 2025, it faithfully reflects the protagonist’s inner feelings.

SUPER BEAVER’s powerful yet gentle melody and its message questioning the meaning of tears resonate deeply.

Released digitally in the same month, the song also appears in a scene where Daisei Kido performs it within the drama, adding further depth to the story.

It’s a track that stands beside listeners as they face doubts and anxieties while trying to live true to themselves, yet still choose to look forward.

Blue SpringSUPER BEAVER

Blue SpringSUPER BEAVER

This is a song composed to commemorate their 10th anniversary.

It’s a spring dedicated to the people who have supported them so far, and to those they “love.” It’s a quintessential SUPER BEAVER power song that wishes for a bright future.

A standout work that puts their signature style front and center, it’s also highly popular with fans.

The song’s upbeat progression and fresh guitar sound feel great.

Looking back fondly on the feelings that swayed during one’s “blue spring,” in other words youth, the soaring expression of the emotion of “I want to see you” pierces straight to the heart.

It’s a track included on their 2016 album, 27.
