Lyric

Woman from Kikichi

THE HEAT

抱いた女の流す涙で

薄めた酒を 一気に飲んで

暗い部屋の隅に残した

消えない炎に油注いでみるよ

裏切りだけが許せないまま

夜の街に残して逃げた

細いうなじにつけた傷跡

雨に降られて夢に怯えて

包む 香り  誘う    眼差しは

ああ  若さに任せて

何度も愛し合った夜

ああ 届かない影を

今もまだ追い続けている 

吐いた言葉の意味も知らずに

身体ほしさに 心ほしさに

金で固めた 仮面を脱いで

素肌を晒す勇気も持たず

あの 夜に 響く 叫び声

ああ  ずぶ濡れの街で

震わせた小さな背中を

ああ 渇いた心が

今もまだ探し続けている 

ああ 届かない影を

今もまだ追い続けている

    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.
