I Can Change My Life

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.

Is Our World Poison?

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!

20th Century Boys

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”.
