Yura Yura Teikoku “Luminous Body” (Official Music Video)
Shining Body Swaying Empire

You’ll still find it feels fresh even today! The endlessly repeat-worthy “Hakkōtai” (Luminous Body) is a track by Yura Yura Teikoku, the rock band led by Shintaro Sakamoto.

It was released in 1998 as their debut single.

It’s an energetic rock sound, yet—whether it’s the lyrics or the vocals—it somehow comes across with a strangely twisted sonic character… and that contrast really gets you.

It’s a classic of ’90s rock that I’d love for younger generations to check out!

Honmoku BluesThe Golden Cups

The Golden Cups, a legendary Group Sounds band that shines in the history of Japanese rock.

Their third album, Blues Message, released in March 1969, stands as a landmark of Japanese blues.

Embracing the then-rare style of blues rock, it features a number of tracks heavily influenced by American blues.

Drawing on bandleader Dave Hirao’s experiences in the United States, this work had a major impact on the Japanese music scene.

Highly recommended not only for blues fans but also for anyone interested in the dawn of Japanese rock.

The choreography features unique dance moves such as wotagei, making for a highly engaging performance.

Whipped s'il vous plaît pink macaron

This is the theme song for Wonder Change Pinky Macaron, which was aired as a segment within the E-Tele children’s program Bit World.

It’s a mystery how the intro and chorus sound quite similar to the theme song of the anime HeartCatch PreCure, which aired around the same time.

When You Wish Upon a Star by Keizo Nakanishi

The regret of “Why couldn’t I do it back then?” is, in a way, a life theme everyone shares.

It’s easy to call it a matter of imagination, but you can’t truly feel it until later, right? At times like that, it seems all we can do is wish upon a star.

That’s what this song is about!

Hold Me Down feat Angie StoneToshinobu Kubota

This is a track created in collaboration with American singer-songwriter Angie Stone.

It’s a co-written piece by the two artists.

With mellow electric piano tones, simple strings, and an R&B-flavored loop, their soulful vocals blend perfectly, resulting in an exquisite work.

In Howl’s Moving Castle, there’s a small boy named Markl who travels with them.

The song “Boy” is a perfect fit for such a little boy.

Its unpredictable development is just like a young boy’s personality.

The mysterious, mid-tempo sound draws you into the song’s world.

While watching the film, try to see where this track is used.
