In the late 1980s, Oda gained prominence as a songwriter. He composed over 50 top-ten hit singles on the Japanese Oricon chart during the 1990s, including 12 of which have sold over 1 million copies. At the commercial peak of successful career, Oda produced a string of popular hit songs with artists like Zard, Wands, Deen, and Field of View. He also discovered and collaborated with Nanase Aikawa, one of the best-selling Japanese female pop icons from the latter half of the 1990s.
Oda embarked on his own solo career since the 1980s, and achieved mainstream success thanks to the contributions to other artists. As a recording artist, he is best known for the chart-topping single "Itsumademo Kawaranu Ai o", which was released in 1992.
In 1990, Oda won the 32nd Japan Record Award for the song "Odoru Pompokorin", co-written by Momoko Sakura and performed by B.B. Queens. In the history of the Japanese singles chart which started in 1968, Oda has been the third best-selling composer behind Kyohei Tsutsumi and Tetsuya Komuro. Accumulated sales of his compositions released as singles have been estimated at over 40 million units as of 2008.
負けないで
織田哲郎 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
幸福(しあわせ)のときめき 覚えているでしょ
パステルカラーの季節に恋した
あの日のように 輝いてる あなたでいてね
※負けないで もう少し
最後まで 走り抜けて
どんなに 離れてても
追いかけて 遥かな夢を※
何が起きたって ヘッチャラな顔して
どうにかなるサと おどけてみせるの
"今宵は私(わたくし)と一緒に踊りましょ"
今も そんなあなたが好きよ 忘れないで
△負けないで ほらそこに
ゴールは近づいてる
どんなに 離れてても
心は そばにいるわ
感じてね 見つめる瞳△
(※くり返し)
(△くり返し)
The lyrics to 織田哲郎's song 負けないで speak to the importance of resilience and determination, even in the face of difficult times. The opening lines refer to the fleeting moments in life where we make intense connections with others, reminding the listener to hold on to those moments of happiness. The next lines describe falling in love during a season of pastel colors and asking that the person being addressed always hold onto that radiance.
The chorus then repeats twice (※), insisting that we can't give up and must keep pushing forward, even when it feels like we're far away from our goals. The bridge introduces a new perspective, encouraging us to maintain a positive attitude no matter what happens and to have faith that everything will work out. The final chorus (△) builds on this by telling the listener to focus on the goal ahead and to trust that their heart will guide them to it.
