This song is the theme for Fuji TV’s Mezamashi TV.

It was released as a CD single in 2005.

The word “SUN” leaves a strong impression.

I highly recommend watching the program to appreciate how well it matches.

The tone of the song seems to be gentle.

Goodbye to happinessYamashita Tatsuro

This song is from a mono record released in 1976.

The jacket is shaped like a triangle.

Tokyu Hands also opened in that year.

It has a relaxed, unhurried melody with a gentle atmosphere.

It feels a bit like another dimension.

DAY DREAMYamashita Tatsuro

It’s the B-side of a single released in 1980.

The musician Minako Yoshida provided the lyrics.

It is also included as the second track on an album released in 1980.

This single can be considered very significant.

The single’s jacket features Tatsuro Yamashita himself.

This is a song I’d like to listen to in a town where the crowds have vanished.

The lyrics were written by Minako Yoshida, but somehow, even before I looked it up, I knew, “These lyrics have to be by Minako Yoshida.” It’s a masterpiece where Tatsuro’s individuality and Minako’s individuality collide and meld together.

Caregiving Dance on Christmas EveYamashita Tatsuro

This is a workout set to Tatsuro Yamashita’s signature Christmas song, “Christmas Eve.” Because you perform the choreography while seated in a chair, maintaining correct posture is an important point.

With moves like a prayer pose and bell-ringing gestures, it incorporates many Christmas-themed elements, so you can really feel the holiday spirit while moving your body.

Since memorizing the choreography can be challenging, it’s recommended to carefully watch the example in front of you and use it as a chance to build concentration.

Eternal Full MoonYamashita Tatsuro

The fast-paced rhythm is perfect for a night drive.

On a full-moon night, rolling the windows all the way down and turning the volume up a bit while listening to this song on the road is the best.

Just be careful not to speed, since it’s an up-tempo track.

A common theme in Tatsuro’s songs is rain, yet each one ends up conveying a refreshing feeling that stands in stark contrast to the usual image of rain.

It’s curious that every one of them is a masterpiece, too.
