This is the summer song from the Spring-Summer-Autumn-Winter series released in 2014.

According to Oricon, it was a massive hit that ranked number one on the weekly chart.

Beyond the song’s excellence, the “Running Man” dance became a hot topic, and it ranked first on the 2015 annual karaoke popularity chart.

It is also a winner of the Japan Record Awards’ Grand Prize.

SquallFukuyama Masaharu

It’s a famous ballad.

Since the lyrics are written from a woman’s perspective, it’s a perfect song for women to sing as well.

It reached No.

1 on the weekly Oricon chart and sold over 750,000 copies, making it a huge hit.

It’s included on the single “HEAVEN/Squall.”

It’s dance music with an irresistibly provocative and catchy melody.

Just listening to it gets you hyped! If you sing it at karaoke, try mimicking the dance where you cross your hands in front of your face—it might hype things up even more!

Those in their thirties have likely encountered Mr.Children’s music at many points in their lives—when they experienced a wonderful romance, and when they had to part sadly from someone dear.

For people in their thirties who have known both sweet moments and life’s bitterness, I believe “Himawari,” which Mr.Children released in 2017, is a song that speaks powerfully to the heart.

Among Sakanaction fans, this song is affectionately known as “Night Fishing.” It’s included on the 2008 album “NIGHT FISHING.” Ichiro Yamaguchi, the vocalist, apparently wanted it to be the lead track, but it was rejected because it would be difficult to make a music video for it; the song is also known for the fact that he funded the MV himself.

Speaking of Sukima Switch, it has to be this song! “Zenryoku Shonen,” released in 2005, is arguably their signature track, and many men in their 30s probably see it as a song from their youth.

It’s a refreshing, upbeat, and encouraging tune.

Stay young at heart forever!

Maplesupittsu

A popular Spitz song released as a single from the album “Fake Fur.” Masamune Kusano’s calmly delivered vocals deepen the sense of poignancy and resonate powerfully in the heart.

It’s also well known for having been covered by many artists, regardless of gender.
