A hidden gem by T-BOLAN. A precious number I want to keep singing and listening to.

BOYT-BOLAN

Morito Arashi 2016 Demonstration Live “Arashi with COVERS” Ending BOY

“BOY” is a song with lyrics by drummer Kazuyoshi Aoki and music by Arashi Moritomo.

Judging from the lyrics, it seems Aoki had a baby boy; a father figure emerges who feels joy and gratitude and hopes his child will embrace big dreams and hopes.

Moritomo’s signature ballad style breathes life into it, giving rise to a new T-BOLAN track.

It might be a rare parent-and-child song for T-BOLAN.

These feelings I can’t hold backT-BOLAN

T-BOLAN [Uncontainable Feelings] with Lyrics

I was already in love with this voice.

I remember always borrowing tapes from my older brother to listen.

It’s such a cool voice.

I remember listening while imagining who was singing and what kind of person they were.

I was smitten with the voice and my heart would race.

Midnight Love SongT-BOLAN

Ear-Copy & Arrangement T-BOLAN "Midnight Love Song".avi

If there were a category for love ballads that express a man’s feelings sung by a male vocalist, Arashi Moritomo would undoubtedly be selected.

That’s how skilled he is at love ballads, in my opinion.

The keywords would be something like “midnight,” “ballad,” and “love.” If someone sang to you with a voice like his, it would be irresistible for a woman.

Let’s start from goodbye.T-BOLAN

T-BOLAN “Let’s Start From Goodbye” MV

This is T-BOLAN’s fourth single, “Let’s Start from Goodbye.” The lyrics are by Arashi Moritomo, and the composition is by Tetsuro Oda, who was also a hitmaker in the ’90s.

The striking title “Let’s Start from Goodbye,” along with vocalist Arashi Moritomo’s slightly mysterious look, felt incredibly fresh to me when I was an elementary school student in 1992.

It’s a song I love so much that just hearing the title makes me want to sing it right away.

What does T-BOLAN mean? When you think about it, it’s a curious name, isn’t it? T-BOLAN comes from the British glam rock band T.

Rex, whose vocalist was Marc Bolan.

So it’s T-BOLAN from T.

Rex’s Marc Bolan.

T.

Rex is a hard-hitting rock band, but this is a rock number that feels true to the origin of the band’s name and is different from what they’ve done before.

It’s a rare type of song for T-BOLAN.

I don’t want to let go.T-BOLAN

T-BOLAN “I Don't Want to Let Go” Music Video

It’s a rock band that was active from 1990 to 1999.

As depicted in the lyrics, it’s a passionate love song about realizing one’s true feelings after a breakup and not wanting to let a lover go.

The powerful, rock-band style love song gives you courage.

Melt your heartT-BOLAN

T-BOLAN / Melt My Heart

Back then, every time a new single came out, I’d borrow it from my older brother and listen to it nonstop.

That’s how much I loved it.

With each new release, every song was always wonderful and moving.

The voice is so good—that’s really the reason I’ve continued to love it for so long.

I also always had my boyfriend at the time sing it for me.
