Feel the Wind (Welcome back to The 70’s “Time of Your Life” / Short Version)

Feeling the Wind, Shogo Hamada

This is the classic song that became Shogo Hamada’s first hit.

Released in July 1979, it was used as the theme for Nissin Foods’ Cup Noodles commercial.

Although Hamada reportedly felt strong resistance to doing a commercial song, this tie-in ultimately became a major opportunity to bring his music to a wider audience.

Its powerful message—affirming an unbound, free way of life that says “there’s never only one way to live”—deeply resonated with the youth of the time.

When you’re feeling constrained, listening to this song might just make your heart feel a little lighter.
