T-BOLAN’s hidden gems: exquisite tracks you’ll want to keep singing and listening to. (31–40)
BOYT-BOLAN

“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.
Midnight Love SongT-BOLAN

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

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.
I don’t want to let go.T-BOLAN

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.
Baby BlueT-BOLAN

“Baby Blue,” included on their second album BABY BLUE.
As the title suggests, it’s a song that evokes loneliness and melancholy.
With T-BOLAN, every track makes you want to sing it at karaoke—perhaps thanks to Arashi Moritomo’s outstanding vocals and rugged masculinity.

Melt your heartT-BOLAN

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.
I wanted to become the kind of adult I had always admired.T-BOLAN

It starts with a cool guitar riff—this is “Aiming to Become the Adult I Once Admired.” It’s another track with a strong rock vibe.
Judging from the name of Moritomo Arashi, the vocalist who created almost all of the songs, you can tell he has a personality that carries an inner intensity.
Maybe that’s why so many fans resonate with Moritomo’s passionate heart.
This song really makes you feel that.
