I'm in one of my 'I miss Japan' moods that I just play some of favorite Japanese songs and decided to post them here. Yeah its crazy but I miss Japan like someone would miss and long for an ex lover or something. Enjoy, I know most of them are kinda old but they are still my favorites. All of them speaks of the phases I had in Japan.
We arrived in Japan around the time this song was released. Every where you go this song was blaring from the speakers. The famous cherry trees blossom around the same time giving it more meaning ;). Fresh off the boat, leaving loved ones behind and developing new crushes....
Another hot favorite between us ladies. This song speaks of no matter how far you go I will always be by your side. It was my best friends on-the-go karaoke song. She would sing it alone, lowering her voice to deep bass to sing the male verse.
Just a quick note on the singer is a petite Japanese lady with an African-American father.
one more by Thelma Aoyama....Pretty good lyrics ;)
One of my best friends and his ex girlfriend always do a duet in Karaoke ;) Love the beat to this song. I think its so fresh and rare for Japanese songs.
And finally GREEN my favorite Japanese Boy Band. Great song...Ai no Uta (love song)
My friend and I would sing at the top of our lungs to this song
Oops sorry one more HOT FAVORITE. They are unfortunately not Japanese, TOHOSHINKI is a Korean boy band that has a lot of Japanese songs and are quite popular in Japan. Why did I fall in love with you...blah blah blah....you chose a different road etc etc.
There are tonnes of great Japanese hits but of course if you don't understand the language its hard to like. But for us who do, its like the meaning is soo deep, I've never felt like this with English songs ;)
