Hugely popular with teens, they’re a pop-rock band whose members were all born between 1994 and 1996.

This track, released in 2018, marks a dramatic shift from their debut.

Its sentimental melody and the emotional surge in the chorus really showcase how they’ve matured.

The song focuses on an elderly couple’s youth, portraying the classic Japanese delinquent style—pompadours and leather rider jackets—the good old-fashioned rebels.

Released in 1973, this emblematic hit was the band’s first to reach the U.

It originally started as an instrumental, but there’s a story that the producer at the time suggested adding lyrics.

Hotel CaliforniaThe Eagles

Eagles – Hotel California (Official Audio)

This is a signature song released in 1977 by the Eagles, the pinnacle band of American country and West Coast rock.

Although the place name “California” evokes a bright, summery West Coast image, perhaps because it was released in February of that year and has mysterious content, it’s surprisingly often played on radio music programs in winter.

The beautiful arpeggiated guitar intro, the unforgettable melody line, and the final, exquisite guitar solo—often hailed as one of the greatest in rock guitar history—make for a flawless structure from the very beginning to the end.

I Want You BackThe Jackson 5

I Want You Back

They’re the original male group, and in the Black music scene I think they set the standard for everything.

You can see that even in Japan.

Folder5 and Pizzicato Five also trace back to them.

Daichi Miura covered them before his voice changed and became a hot topic as the “Japanese Michael Jackson.” Motown’s feel-good pop sound still makes the heart dance.

It’s a cute track where Afro-era Michael’s effort shines, and it’s among their most popular songs.
