The lyrics and imagery are beautiful no matter which lines you take.
Included on the album “Yoni Manyo no Hana ga Saku Nari,” released in September 1992, it topped the Oricon Weekly Ranking for four consecutive weeks.
In the Reiwa era, many may have heard it as a UNIQLO commercial song.
It’s a ballad you’ll want to listen to when healing from heartbreak or trying to move past a farewell with someone important.

BO Chille (riot)The Cro-Magnons
The 19th single, “Bo-doh Child (BO CHILE),” released in November 2020.
Over a snappy snare, Hiroto Kōmoto unleashes a long blues harp solo.
From an intro so satisfying you wish it could go on forever, it bursts into lyrics, melody, and beats worthy of the bold title.
Kōmoto’s performance—aggressive and punk to a degree unbelievable for someone who was 57 at the time of release—commands admiration.
It’s an energetic track by The Cro-Magnons that, in the best sense, refuses to “evolve.”
Christmas in Our TownCyclamen
Ciclamen is a 3-MC pop unit formed in Tokyo.
“Bokura no Machi no Christmas” is a track included on their 2011 album Surume 3.
For a slightly later generation, it’s a song we’d also recommend to fans of Very Good Man (ベリーグッドマン).
Its bright, bouncy sound evokes the festive streets of Christmas and really livens up any karaoke session! The lyrics are a bit embarrassingly cheesy—the kind that might make you blush—but that’s exactly what makes them great.
It’s perfect for sharing a moment of appreciation after a year of hard work or for spending a fun Christmas day.
Overflowing with a happy vibe, the chorus is ideal for everyone to sing along together!
