Showa-era songs that went viral on TikTok / revival hit songs

Showa-era masterpieces are suddenly popular and gaining attention on TikTok as “emoi” (emotionally moving).

Thanks to the spread of social media, people who didn’t experience these hits when they first came out can approach them with a different sensibility—and a fresh feeling.

I’d like to introduce some Showa songs that went viral after being used in TikTok dance videos, as well as tracks being highlighted as must-listen songs right now.

It’s a reminder that true classics get rediscovered and continue to spread over time.

Whether you’re from that generation or not, please give them all a listen!
