StarThe Roots
From the late 1980s to the present, The Roots have remained a highly acclaimed hip-hop group.
Although they’re often labeled a hip-hop group, they’re not simply a crew that raps; they perform as a full band.
Their taste is top-notch, and D’Angelo, a pioneering figure in neo-soul, has expressed his respect for them.
Their classic track “Star” is a captivating piece, featuring lyrics themed around stars and a soulful performance.
Fly Me To The MoonNat King Cole
A giant in the jazz world, Nat King Cole.
A jazz vocalist who was hugely active from the 1930s to the 1950s, his smooth, rich voice delivers a level of exhilaration that ranks among the best in history.
Among his works, when it comes to songs with a starry theme, many people probably think of Fly Me To The Moon.
It’s a classic covered by many artists, but in Nat King Cole’s case, he adds original parts, letting you enjoy a unique charm different from the others.
Star PeopleGeorge Michael
George Michael, the artist who was a member of the popular pop duo Wham!, isn’t necessarily widely recognized in Japan, but he’s a globally renowned artist with total worldwide sales exceeding 100 million records.
His classic track “Star People,” included on his 1996 album “Older,” gained popularity for its catchy, star-themed lyrics and melody.
Space Truckin’Deep Purple
Deep Purple, a legendary rock band on par with Led Zeppelin, is a group highly respected by countless listeners in Japan.
Owing to their achievements and enduring popularity, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.
Among their songs with a starry theme, the one that comes to mind is surely “Space Truckin’.” Released in 1972, this track gained popularity for its humor-filled lyrics centered on outer space.
Another StarStevie Wonder
Stevie Wonder, the legendary soul musician who, along with Marvin Gaye and Donny Hathaway, helped energize the new soul movement that sparked a boom in the 1970s.
I think many people in Japan are familiar with him as well.
True to the style of new soul artists, his track Another Star blends soul with disco sounds, and it became popular at the time partly because of the disco craze.
The lyrics revolve around the theme of stars, so be sure to check them out.
