It was used as the ending theme for NTV’s “SPORTS MAX,” and as an insert song in a drama featuring the members.

Broken-winged angelNakamura Ayumi
Released in 1985, “Tsubasa no Orareta Angel” is striking for its themes of teenage growth and inner conflict, the gap between dreams and reality, and emotional scars and growth.
The song is often thought to be hard to sing because of its powerful vocals.
In fact, while the vocals do convey strength, the range is not very wide—mid1 F# to high D—and the melodic leaps aren’t extreme.
It also doesn’t require fancy techniques, so as long as you stay on pitch and focus on vocal power, anyone can make it work.
Tsugaru Jongara-bushiHosokawa Takashi
This song is a full-fledged reinterpretation by Takashi Hosokawa of a folk tune that powerfully sings of the scenery and climate of the Tsugaru region.
With lyrics that conjure up images of local vistas like Mount Iwaki and apple orchards, the driving sound of the shamisen leaves a strong impression.
The distinctive melodic inflections, drawing on folk-music technique, convey pride and affection for the homeland.
It was included on the album “Bokyō” (Nostalgia), released in December 1978, and was also performed earlier that year, in January, on Fuji TV’s Night Hit Studio.
It’s a perfect track for reminiscing about your hometown while picturing Tsugaru’s winter landscapes.
Try clapping along to the shamisen’s rhythm, or sing along together with everyone.

Masato Funatsu’s “Tsunai da Te” (Joined Hands) is set to be released in 2025.

The sound gradually expands toward the chorus in an impressive, grand progression, evoking the image of happiness growing deeper with each passing year.
Its depiction of how ordinary days can become something special is striking, conveying a sense of savoring that happiness.
This song was chosen for a commercial by Shimane Denkō that portrays the company’s commitment to supporting family life.
You can also sense the company’s resolve to support people’s happiness by enhancing daily living through electrical technology.
