Favorite J-pop Singles: Field Of View / Totsuzen

Theme song from the 1995 Pocari Sweat campaign! Another terrific song  written by the late Izumi Sakai of ZARD, and you can find her version on the terrific TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY album.
ZARD's version is an airy and sweet song, quite a different feel from this incredible gothic, chorus-laden version...Field Of View sure knew how to arrange and produce their singles for maximum effect, ne!
Field of View had already sung the absolutely pop-perfect KIMI GA ITAKARA, another great song by ZARD and subsequently another great single from Field Of View! Both songs were performed by the boys when they appeared as Music Champs on Hey! Hey! Hey!

PS: No, You're not imagining things...this post is an almost exact replica of Field Of View's previous post! AHAHAHAHA

Favorite J-Pop Singles: Field Of View / Kimi Ga Itakara

Theme song from the drama Kagayaku Toki No Naka De starring Hosaka Naoki, Ishida Hikari, and a VERY whiny Nakai Masahiro! The song is written by the late Izumi Sakai of ZARD, and you can find her version on the terrific TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY album.

Field of View repeated the process by covering TOTSUZEN, another great song by ZARD and subsequently another great single from Field Of View! Both songs were performed by the boys when they appeared as Music Champs on Hey! Hey! Hey!


To this day, Kimi Ga Itakara remains one of my very favorite j-pop songs, and is still one of the songs I must sing every time I go to karaoke-whether or not this is praise or punishment is for others to decide! AHAHAHAHA
