Debut
In the late 1980's he released two record singles that marked the beginning of his career, though they didn't sell well.
In 1989 he appeared in the television drama Mama Haha Boogie, from which point he started to gain popularity as an actor, bringing attention to his singing aspirations.
In 1991 he appeared in Tokyo Love Story and was finally written up as a star.

織田裕二 Lyrics
Over the Trouble アイツのこぶしを 噛みしめて倒れた 右目のアザは 情熱の勲章 覚悟を決めたと きみは指輪はずして 青い空にほおり投げた …
スワン 傷だらけのクーペの フェンダーにもたれて はしゃぎ過ぎたきみが 急にふさぎ込む きみの家族に嫌われてることは はじめて電…
永遠のきずな 空を見上げて 2ミリ笑って 握手しようと君は言った 晴れ渡る日に サヨナラなんて せつなすぎないか 違う恋した 僕を許し…
