Introducing songs that start with “Ta” from popular J-POP! (321–330)
TarantulaSanīdēi Sābisu
Sunny Day Service captivates with their distinctive pop sensibility and lyrical songwriting.
Formed in 1992, they made their major-label debut in 1994 with the mini-album “INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE EP.” They’re known for Keiichi Sokabe’s warm, inviting vocals and a musical style that incorporates the essence of 1970s Japanese pop.
Their sharp, emotionally resonant lyrics and melodies have earned them a devoted fan base.
Highly recommended for those who want to experience a unique world where nostalgic atmosphere blends with a contemporary sound.
Tally-hoZa Kuromaniyonzu
After THE HIGH-LOWS announced a hiatus in November 2005 and went inactive, The Cro-Magnons made a surprise appearance the following year, 2006.
“Tally-Ho” is their debut single.
Hiroto & Marcy’s third band together once again turned out to be an eight-beat punk band.
With a simple beat and a simple melody, it’s a rock tune as primitive, powerful, and bursting with vitality as their Cro-Magnon name suggests!
Theme from THE TIMERSZa Taimāzu
Among Kiyoshiro Imawano’s towering discography—where he never flinched from releasing works sometimes labeled “problematic” to challenge the world—the group that stirred the most controversy was The Timers.
At the same time, you can’t overlook their playful covers and lyrical flair.
This “Timers no Theme ~ Theme from THE TIMERS” is a track modeled on The Monkees’ “(Theme From) The Monkees.” The melody, which many will find familiar, is very easy to sing.
The lyrics might startle listeners who don’t know the backstory, but the rhythm of the words is so catchy that you can’t help humming along.
It’s perfect for lighting up a karaoke session among friends who are in on the joke!
Whenever I arrive, it’s always raining.Za Moppusu
The Mops were a four-piece rock band known as pioneers of psychedelic rock in the Japanese music scene, yet they disbanded after a brief eight-year run.
Their 12th single, “It’s Always Raining When I Get There,” used as an insert song in the film ‘Run in the Wet Wilderness,’ was provided with rewritten lyrics originally from “I Fell for a Girl” by the Downtowns, the group Yoshida Takuro belonged to.
Its catchy guitar-riff intro and wistful melody make it perfect for the rainy season.
It’s a lyrical number that invites you to soak in the atmosphere of classic Group Sounds, and it’s highly recommended for karaoke.
Taxi driverSha ran Q
Sharan Q is a band that has produced numerous hit songs, led by tracks like “Single Bed.” While they’re often associated with classic, mainstream tunes, they actually have some quirky works too.
One of those is “Taxi Driver.” This song was created as the opening theme for the talk segment of the popular comedy show “Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende.” With lyrics written by Hitoshi Matsumoto, it features exceptionally unique lines.
Give it a try at karaoke!
My core is still burning.Shin (Abe Sadao) & Fuuka (Yoshioka Riho)
This song was featured as the theme for the film “Louder!: I Can’t Hear What You’re Singing, Dude!!,” and the duet between Shin, played by Sadao Abe, and Fuuka, played by Riho Yoshioka, is especially striking.
The powerful lyrics written by Aimyon convey passion for music and inner conflict, and they’re likely to resonate with listeners.
Released alongside the film in October 2018, the track drew attention for its driving rock sound.
Metaphors like the “broken guitar,” suggesting damaged vocal cords, and the line “I’m still burning from deep within my body” give the impression of speaking directly for the listener’s feelings—an emotional song through and through.
A Boring New Yearsutoraiku kanpanī
Strike Company, a music duo from Ishigaki Island in Okinawa Prefecture, presents a New Year’s song for grown-ups: “Boring New Year.” As kids, New Year’s was full of fun—being surrounded by relatives we rarely saw, getting New Year’s money, and making memories.
But as we get older, the otoshidama stops, we don’t always go back home, and somehow the holiday starts to feel a bit dull.
For anyone who relates, this track will resonate deeply.
Even while calling it boring, it leaves you with a warm, oddly comforting feeling of “Well, I guess that’s how it is.”
