suddenlyFIELD OF VIEW
A song by a band that became popular in the early Heisei era.
It was also used in a commercial set on a summer coastline, where a radiant, youthful famous actress downed a refreshing soft drink with a dazzling smile.
The song fit that commercial perfectly, and I remember getting goosebumps from its sparkling lyrics and fresh, breezy vocals.
Since it begins right away with the chorus melody, it’s something you’ll want to practice thoroughly.

A classic song by GOING STEADY, a band that, despite their immense popularity, suddenly disbanded to the regret of many.
When it comes to this track, the emotions overflowing with love and friendship will differ from person to person.
I recommend it to those who love fiery punk rock sounds.
I hope you sing it out loud until your voice gets hoarse.

This song was released as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Boku no Ikiru Michi,” starring Tsuyoshi Kusanagi of SMAP, and it became a huge hit.
It’s a song everyone knows, young and old, and the choreography is simple since it mainly involves hand movements.
It’s easy to sing at karaoke and is a classic that brings everyone together.
In conclusion
People in their 40s have experienced both the golden age of Japanese rock and the dawn of R&B.
Since the rock scene was more popular back then, this article may have felt nostalgic for you.
