This is one of the best songs from rising star Yui. <Life> was featured first as a single and then as one of the 13 songs on her first album. The song is upbeat, the lyrics are well written and hardly repeated, and the whole song is actually quite uplifting. Perhaps listening to <Life> every morning is a good way to start your day.

This song,<Poison> is used in the popular Japanese drama <Great Teacher Onizuka> also known as G.T.O in short. G.T.O is a story about a hooligan-turned-teacher who begins to like teaching, and uses his hooligan ways to solve problems of his students, making the whole school’s educators to be in shock. Onizuka detests the inefficiency and nonchalance of the school bereaucracy in helping problem students in matters such as bullying. Onizuka meets the love of his life in the school as well.
The song <Poison> is thought-provoking as it questions the role of us individuals in this world. Can we say what we want? Can we dream what we want? Hopefully, this song will inspire you and heat up your soul as well!

In this MV, the band performs a song in some library of a school presumably called Abingdon Boys School (that is the band name too). Eventually the library got rocked down due to their powerful music.
I kind of stumbled upon this song when I ask a friend to “send me some rock songs”. Thus I listened to a few songs and then this song reached my ears and caught my attention the first time i hear it. The singer has powerful vibratos and the song overall sounds fine and high-energy. I decided to do some research on them.
The singer is Nishikawa Takanori, a veteran singer who is also known as TM Revolution, which stands for Takanori Makes Revolution. Play the music and observe the quality of his voice and his mature techniques.

This is a inspiring song that makes you think of those “change the world” themes. As for why is it called 20th century boys instead of 21th century, i think it refers to boys who are teenagers and youths by the year 2000, and therefore “20th century boys”.
