BLACKRIRI
The up-and-coming R&B duo Yoen Kingyo has been turning heads lately.
Since the late 2000s, Japanese R&B has largely shifted from the genuine article to R&B-like music.
These two have thrown a wrench into that status quo.
Blending R&B and hip-hop, they focus on authentic Black music that rivals Western releases.
In particular, RIRI’s sexy vocals—borne from her slightly raspy, husky tone—are absolutely stunning.
Brave Love 〜Galaxy Express 999THE ALFEE
After transferring to Toshiba EMI in 1998, the first release was “Brave Love Galaxy Express 999.” It was selected as the theme song for the anime Galaxy Express 999: Eternal Fantasy.
The lyrics and composition were handled by Toshihiko Takamizawa, and it’s a song whose guitar sound, powerful vocals, and lyrics give you courage.
Black Sheepthe pillows
When you want to clear the haze in your heart, I recommend “Black Sheep” by the pillows.
Included on the 1998 album LITTLE BUSTERS, this track is woven solely from guitar and the vocals of Sawao Yamanaka throughout.
The lyrics depict a protagonist who wipes out everything that gnaws at a mind tangled by too many unpleasant events.
When something bad happens, it might be good to reset everything to zero, just like in this song.
Before your heart grows weary from overthinking, why not let this track give you the cue to hit reset?
bluesUNICORN
“Blues” by Unicorn is a single released in 1991.
It’s a labor anthem written and composed by drummer Koichi Kawanishi, and it has a somewhat ethnic vibe.
The relaxed, reassuring sound combined with Tamio Okuda’s low vocals creates a uniquely pleasant feel.
It’s irresistibly rich in Unicorn’s signature playfulness and melancholy.
Although it’s a very popular song, it’s a rare track that wasn’t included on any original album.
Tamio Okuda himself liked “Blues” and frequently performed it at his solo shows.
Where the bouquet wentchay
This is a song by singer-songwriter chay, written from the perspective of a female friend celebrating the bride’s wedding.
While it wholeheartedly conveys congratulations as a friend, as suggested by the title “Where the Bouquet Goes,” it also sweetly expresses the feeling of “I want to be the next one to find happiness!” If this is the first wedding among your group of friends, it might be nice for all of you to sing this song together as a gift.
Of course, performing it as a guitar-and-vocal piece like chay would also be lovely.
Blue StoryNaniwa Danshi
Naniwa Danshi is supported by a wide range of generations.
The song they created as a tie-in with Sea Breeze is “Blue Story.” It’s a refreshing track themed around youth.
In the commercial, the song plays over scenes of members Shunsuke Michieda and Kento Nagao running on a field, so many people probably associate it with a “sports day song.” Of course, even if you haven’t seen the commercial, the passionate lyrics and sound are sure to boost your motivation to run.
BROTHERAyumi Nakamura
It’s a number infused with a passionate message: “Let’s move forward, brother.” The song is by Ayumi Nakamura, the singer also known for the hit “Tsubasa no Oreta Angel,” and it was released in 1990 as her 16th single.
It was featured in a commercial for Mizuno’s “Superstar.” The dynamic composition pairs perfectly with Nakamura’s powerful vocals and is truly stirring.
When you need energy to face tomorrow, give it a listen.
