Stars overtaking meToukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora

Passing Stars / TOKYO SKA PARADISE ORCHESTRA

A track by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra created as the theme song for Kyoto Racecourse.

It sparked buzz by reuniting NARGO and Yoshikazu Mogi as twin vocalists for the first time in about 20 years.

Composed by Tsuyoshi Kawakami with lyrics by Atsushi Yanaka, the song brilliantly captures the power and speed of horse racing.

Its exhilarating horn section races through the listener’s heart.

The lyrics portray small moments in everyday life and the beauty of friendship, evoking the sparkle of youth and the importance of human connection.

Released to coincide with the grand reopening of Kyoto Racecourse in April 2023, this is a perfect song to play when you want to cheer on a fresh start!

Routine Melodies/TOKYO SKA PARADISE ORCHESTRA

A track included as the first song on the fourteenth album.

The electric piano at the beginning creates a pop impression, and the offbeat guitar adds a cheerful vibe.

Playing this album when you set off on a trip might heighten the vacation mood.

Flash (feat. 10-FEET)Toukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora

Flash feat. 10-FEET/TOKYO SKA PARADISE ORCHESTRA

A track included on the first single of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra’s “Band Collaboration Trilogy.” It’s a collaboration with the three members of 10-FEET.

Starting with TAKUMA’s vocals, the song showcases the perfect chemistry you’d expect from bands that are close friends, resulting in something truly outstanding!

Swallow feat. Midories, Neru Nagahama, and Tokyo Metropolitan Katakura High School Wind EnsembleToukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora

Swallow feat. Midories & Neru Nagahama & Tokyo Metropolitan Katakura High School Brass Band / TOKYO SKA PARADISE ORCHESTRA

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra covered YOASOBI’s hit, and with Midories gaining recognition, the song Tsubame is spreading in popularity much like Paprika.

Since it was also aired on NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” many of you may find it familiar.

In that sense, it’s a song that can unite not only the students performing the parachute dance but also the parents, bringing the entire venue together.

If you’re planning a parachute routine with clear contrasts—restrained verses in the A and B sections and a chorus where the horns joyfully ring out—this song is a perfect match.

The YOASOBI version is wonderful too—give it a listen!

The LastToukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora

The Last / TOKYO SKA PARADISE ORCHESTRA

TOKYO SKA PARADISE ORCHESTRA “The Last,” a track included on the best-of album “The Last.” It’s a song whose calm tone carries a certain hidden heat.

I hope you’ll take your time and listen closely.

Goodbye HotelToukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora

Goodbye Hotel feat. Ken Yokoyama / TOKYO SKA PARADISE ORCHESTRA -short ver-

With the theme of “adult wistfulness,” this song was titled “Goodbye Hotel” based on the idea that even if you think you’d like to come back someday, both people may know it’s impossible; and even if a couple breaks up, the feelings remain in the hotel where they stayed.

In other words, memories can never truly check out.

Twinkle Star ~A Star to Rely On~Toukyou Sukapara Daisu Ookesutora

Twinkle Star ~A Star to Rely On~

A vocal number by Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra that brilliantly fuses a sparkling night sky with a sense of speed! Sung by drummer Kin-ichi Motegi, the track is included on the mini-album “Sunny Side of the Street,” released in August 2011.

It served as the campaign song commemorating the 25th anniversary of Tokyo City Keiba’s “Twinkle Race,” and was also selected as the paddock-to-track entrance theme for graded races at Oi Racecourse.

Its message—keep running through anxious nights, guided by the stars—overlaps with the image of thoroughbreds challenging the world of competition.

It’s sure to gently nudge anyone about to take on a new challenge and fill them with a pleasant sense of exhilaration!
