TRAIN-TRAINThe Blue Hearts
The Blue Hearts’ classic “TRAIN-TRAIN” was a long-running hit from the 1980s into the early 2000s.
True to the Blue Hearts’ style, this track is a passionate punk rock song characterized by its raw sound.
You might expect it to be hard on the throat vocally, but it actually sits within a relatively narrow range of mid1 G# to mid2 F#.
The vocal line itself isn’t complex; however, starting from the second verse, it incorporates a slightly spoken delivery, which brings subtle pitch variations compared to the first verse.
Because this spoken-like quality isn’t a purely musical pitch change, be sure to carefully learn it by ear.

Released as a single in April 1985, it features lyrics by Midori Hifumi, music by Kohei Sai, and an arrangement by Tatsumi Yano that evokes a Beach Boys-like pop sound.
It topped the Oricon Weekly Chart and sold about 267,000 copies, conveying the fervor of the time.
You can enjoy a different arrangement on the album “Flapper,” and it was even used in a commercial in 2021.
Put it on during a summer drive or event, and it’s sure to lift your spirits!

Released as a single in September 2018, it was created as the theme song for the film “Ano Ko no, Toriko.” and colored its bittersweet world.
It is also included on Nissy’s 5th-anniversary solo compilation, “Nissy Entertainment 5th Anniversary BEST.” At summer’s end, listening to it with the person you love as you look back on happy days may turn that tinge of sadness into a lingering sense of joy.
