The first single "HEART CRUSH" by Sukiyaki, led and produced by TJ, is an original track where he handled the lyrics, composition, and choreography. This "kayo rock," which incorporates elements of Showa-era pop music, is a song that beautifully merges nostalgia with a sense of freshness. The lyrics, filled with conflicting emotions of sorrowful love and intense passion, along with the catchy and powerful melody, leave a lasting impression. The track seamlessly blends the energy of rock with the melancholy of kayo, captivating listeners without a doubt.
In addition, the single includes covers of two iconic Showa-era songs: "Bulldog" by the hugely popular 70s group The Four Leaves, and "Julia ni Shoushin" by the 80s legends The Checkers. This album expresses Showa classics through a Reiwa-style interpretation, packed with "kayo rock" that will reach a new generation.
