Classic Japanese songs about Earth: songs that include the word “Earth” in their lyrics

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Our birthplace, the planet Earth.

Here, we’ll introduce songs that turn this planet—where people live—into music, as well as tracks whose lyrics include the word “Earth.”

A variety of artists express “Earth” through their own interpretations.

You can sense from the lyrics how they perceive this Earth we live on, so try listening while thinking about the intended meaning and the feelings behind it.

We’ll showcase expressions of love for Earth and lyrical portrayals that transcend genres—from rock and folk to idol music.
