Tomomi Kahala - I’m Proud

A masterpiece of self-affirmation from 1996 and one of Tomomi Kahala’s signature songs, featuring a powerful yet wistful melody and emotionally rich lyrics.

It vividly portrays a protagonist grappling with loneliness and anxiety who confronts herself and reexamines her identity through encounters with others.

Chosen as the song for a TBC commercial, it also led to an appearance at that year’s NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

This legendary track reached No.

2 on the Oricon weekly chart and topped the annual karaoke rankings.

Though it’s a song that tests one’s vocal ability, it’s highly recommended for moments when you want to boost your confidence or take a new step forward.

A classic that colored the golden age of J-POP in the 1990s and remains beloved by many karaoke fans, this is one of Tomomi Kahala’s signature songs.

Released in October 1995 as her second single, it became a million seller and earned her numerous newcomer awards.

The dramatic sound crafted by Tetsuya Komuro harmonizes beautifully with the crisp winter air, and her soaring vocals resonate deeply with listeners.

Familiar as the CM song for Minami “JOY OF SPORTS,” it also appears in a different arrangement on the album LOVE BRACE.

If you forget the everyday and sing your heart out with the sparkle of those days in mind, you’re sure to feel refreshed!

Tomomi Kahara’s “save your dream” is a sweet pop track created in collaboration with Tetsuya Komuro.

The part in the first verse where the melody jumps dramatically from low to high notes is especially striking.

The chorus is structured around repeating the title multiple times, making it so catchy you can remember the melody after just one listen.

While there aren’t big dynamic shifts, it has a stylish and powerful vibe, so give it a listen when you want a boost of motivation!

Tomomi Kahara – LOVE IS ALL MUSIC (Audio)

A rock ballad produced by Tetsuya Komuro, this gem weaves a beautiful melody with Tomomi Kahara’s translucent vocals.

The lyrics portray a woman’s feelings through the night until dawn, and the deeply expressive singing resonates powerfully with listeners.

Released in July 1997, the song—born as Komuro played the piano—is set in 6/8 time, with a mid-song key change that heightens its emotional impact.

It was also featured in the commercial for Ginza Jewelry Maki’s “Estate Twin Jewelry,” where its wistful yet romantic atmosphere perfectly matched the brand.

It’s a piece that will stay close to your heart on nights when your feelings are in turmoil or during quiet moments spent thinking of someone special—a song we earnestly recommend you listen to.

Crayon Shin-chan OP PLEASURE

It’s a happy, upbeat, and high-energy song.

The CD featuring this track has a jacket newly illustrated by Yoshito Usui, the creator of Shin-chan.

It serves as the opening theme for the TV anime and for the 2003 film Crayon Shin-chan: The Storm Called: The Glory of Yakiniku Road.

Let's give up by The Ground Zero

It’s a song that could be called the original laid-back tune.

Just like the phrase “let’s give up,” you’ll find yourself feeling a strange mix of addiction and empathy toward its slow, relaxed melody.

Working hard in life is important, but sometimes “let’s give up” matters too.

It’s a song you’ll want to hum when you want to loosen up or relax.
