Introducing songs that start with “Ta” from popular J-POP! (321–330)
Treasure IslandKobukuro
Among Kobukuro’s early songs, “Takarajima” (Treasure Island) enjoys enduring popularity with fans.
It evokes the purity of childhood, when everything looked beautiful and, together, they discovered their very own “treasure island.” As they gradually grow up, graduate, and set off on separate paths, the song encourages taking that first step toward the “treasure island” that surely lies ahead on each of their journeys.
Graduating from familiar places and leaping into new environments—taking on new challenges—takes courage, and this is the song that gives you a gentle push when you need it.
Maybe the wind.Sakanaction
One of Sakanaction’s signature songs, “Tabun, Kaze,” continues to capture the hearts of many even now, long after its release.
Issued in 2016, the single gained attention when it was featured in Shiseido’s ANESSA commercial.
Its up-tempo rhythm naturally gets your body moving, and the refreshing melody that evokes the feeling of wind helps set your mind free.
For those immersed in studying for exams, this is the power of Sakanaction’s music: delivering fresh courage and motivation.
Why not listen to this song during a relaxing moment before you start studying?

This is a song that has come to be regarded as one of the signature tracks by the artist Sakanaction.
Its distinctive sound is quintessentially “Sakanaction.” With its vocals, melody, and danceable elements, it’s brimming with appeal and leaves an unforgettable impression after just one listen.
Although this track was created as the theme song for the film Bakuman.
and at first glance may not seem like a typical coming-of-age story for boys, as you listen, moments of understanding and realization quietly emerge—making it a truly intriguing song.
The sun is a sinful guy.Southern All Stars
The exhilarating summer song “Taiyo wa Tsumi na Yatsu” is also recommended.
It’s a track about summer love and that bubbly, excited feeling.
Fittingly, the melody is arranged in an up-tempo style.
Another hallmark of this song is that it incorporates a lot of English.
So be sure to check the pronunciation carefully as you sing.
By the way, the Japanese parts are set just a little higher in key, so it should suit both those who struggle with low notes and those who struggle with high notes.
TarantulaSunny Day Service
Sunny Day Service captivates with their distinctive pop sensibility and lyrical songwriting.
Formed in 1992, they made their major-label debut in 1994 with the mini-album “INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE EP.” They’re known for Keiichi Sokabe’s warm, inviting vocals and a musical style that incorporates the essence of 1970s Japanese pop.
Their sharp, emotionally resonant lyrics and melodies have earned them a devoted fan base.
Highly recommended for those who want to experience a unique world where nostalgic atmosphere blends with a contemporary sound.
Tally-hoThe Cro-Magnons
After THE HIGH-LOWS announced a hiatus in November 2005 and went inactive, The Cro-Magnons made a surprise appearance the following year, 2006.
“Tally-Ho” is their debut single.
Hiroto & Marcy’s third band together once again turned out to be an eight-beat punk band.
With a simple beat and a simple melody, it’s a rock tune as primitive, powerful, and bursting with vitality as their Cro-Magnon name suggests!
Theme from THE TIMERSThe Timers
Among Kiyoshiro Imawano’s towering discography—where he never flinched from releasing works sometimes labeled “problematic” to challenge the world—the group that stirred the most controversy was The Timers.
At the same time, you can’t overlook their playful covers and lyrical flair.
This “Timers no Theme ~ Theme from THE TIMERS” is a track modeled on The Monkees’ “(Theme From) The Monkees.” The melody, which many will find familiar, is very easy to sing.
The lyrics might startle listeners who don’t know the backstory, but the rhythm of the words is so catchy that you can’t help humming along.
It’s perfect for lighting up a karaoke session among friends who are in on the joke!
