もちろん誰だって分からない
あの頃みてた夢の未来
気がつきゃずいぶん歳重ねていた
We are old boys
Rock’n’roll だけが俺たちの
退屈な日常震わせた
見えない未来こじ開ける力を
信じていただけ
この街だけで終われない
この国だって飛び出すんだ
行く年来る年そう信じて唄ってきたさ
俺たちは行くのさ
Like a Rollin’ Stone 夢を見た
Fool to cry 今も見てる
この街だけで終われない
この国だって飛び出すんだ
俺たちは行くのさ
Ah the way to London , the way to New York city, with our HEAT
Ah the way to London , the way to New York city, with our HEAT
Like a Rollin’ Stone 夢を見た
Fool to cry 今も見てる
Ah the way to London , the way to New York city
Ah the way to Chicago, the way to New Orleans city
Ah the way to L.A., the way to Memphis city
With our HEAT
Ah the way to London , the way to Dublin city
Ah the way to Paris, the way to Moscow city
Ah the way to 上海, way to 釜山 city
With our HEAT

THE HEAT
THE HEAT's 40th anniversary new album "Way to London" has finally been completed. Reflecting on these 40 years, I prided myself on leading THE HEAT as its leader, but during the production of this album, I realized that this was a complete misconception. For about 7-8 years now, I've been proclaiming at lives and other events that "We're releasing a new album!" but I couldn't quite get into serious mode. It was the current members who kept pushing me forward. Former members also contributed songs for this album. Many people, including Eiji Ono, the owner of the live house who poured his passion into completing this album, and Kouzo Miyazato who helped every time we held an anniversary concert, supported and encouraged THE HEAT. I am filled with gratitude towards everyone and everything that allowed me to continue doing what I love for 40 years.
The world may feel like it's shrinking due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but I hope this album can be a vitamin for your hearts and was created with that hope in mind. I sincerely hope you will listen to it over and over again. THE HEAT will keep on running!

Artist Profile
THE HEAT
THE HEAT, formed in 1980 in Kikuchi City, Japan, has been inspired by Masamitsu Kikugawa's admiration for the Rolling Stones. Over the years, their dedication to emulating Mick Jagger's artistry led to numerous local contest victories. Despite facing tragedy with the loss of their bassist, the band focused on using music for healing, performing at various relief concerts. They've also made their mark internationally, recording at Toshiba EMI Studio in 2006 and performing in China and Korea. Celebrating their 40th anniversary in 2020 with a concert and an album titled "Way to London," they resumed touring post-pandemic and played at Japan's oldest live house, Jittoku, in 2023. In October 2024, THE HEAT is set to fulfill a longtime dream with a London tour, showcasing their performance on a global stage.
