For those who are not aware, Aska is the lead singer and the one standing on the right of this photo, and Chage is the one wearing sunglasses:

And this time, I certainly have more than two favourite songs by them. :)

I'll start with their most famous song and best-selling single in Japan, released in 1991:

The only Chage & Aska song I'm familiar with is "On Your Mark" from a short animated sci fi sequence that used this song.

is also one of my favourite C&A songs, for which Studio Ghibli created the seven-minute animated music video:

YouTube seems to have deleted all those copies uploaded years ago, but Vimeo still has one copy:

I saw the short clip playing at a Gramaphone records store which is now closed. I thought that if was from some anime movie & only found out last year that it was only a short clip 15+ years later :)

I bought the Chage & Aska CD which had this song but the CD version is not as nice or long as in the anima sequence .

Yes, for J-pop music, I usually prefer to listen to a song while watching its music video, whether it's an animated one or not. :)
Anyway, here's the official music video for "On Your Mark":

[video=youtube;3Obh9kg6o_U]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Obh9kg6o_U[/video]


I also like to watch the videos of the TV/concert performances of J-pop songs, so here are two more for "On Your Mark":

From 1995 in Taiwan
[video=youtube;9U7VaVgGBPU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U7VaVgGBPU[/video]

From 1999/2000 in Fukuoka Prefecture (on the island of Kyushu in western Japan, where both Chage and Aska were brought up during their childhood)

Just the music, without the singing:

first released in 1989 and re-released in 1992:

Here's Aska performing it as a soloist (without Chage) in 2010, nearly twenty years later:

[video=youtube;Culi55FF7DU]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Culi55FF7DU[/video]


And as a soloist, here's his most famous song and best-selling single in Japan, released a few months before "SAY YES" and also in 1991:
ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/はじまりはいつも雨 (Hajimari wa Itsumo Ame, The beginning is always rain or At the beginning, it's always raining)

I also like this song by them, released in 1981:

[video=youtube;k1nqdG42XGI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1nqdG42XGI[/video]

and covered by 周华健 about ten years later, in 1991:

One of my favourite Jap bands - Monta & Brothers. I like the low husky voice.
