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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ブロンズ色の君 サングラスも 眩(くら)みそうさ
天国に届きそうな 空と海 Burnin¥ Blue
無駄なことは みんな 忘れちまう 名前さえも...
Be My Love, Be My Venus
胸をたたく 熱いSQUALLは
とても 止みそうにない
Be My Love, Be My Venus
抱きしめて Fall In Love
愛なんて言葉にまだ
酔える自分がうれしい
すべて 夏の幻でも
かまわないさLovin¥ You...
遠い都会(まち)のためいきも 噂も聞こえない
行く先を決めずに 旅をしたい
そんな 午後さ
Be My Love, Be My Venus
夢のような 燃えるKissを
痛みに 変えたくない
Be My Love, Be My Venus
メランコリー 消しておくれよ
微笑みでHold Me Tight
季節を止めて 永遠に
君を抱いていたい
たとえ夏の幻でも
かまわないさLovin¥ You
すべて夏の幻でも
かまわないさLovin¥ You...
The lyrics to 織田哲郎's song Be My Venus paint a picture of a summer paradise, with burning sand and cool lemonade, and a bronze-colored beloved with sunglasses. The singer describes the infinite blue sky and sea that seem to reach heaven, with everyone forgetting their names and everything else that is unnecessary. The chorus repeats the request to "be my love, be my Venus," with a hot squall pounding on their chest that doesn't seem to stop. The singer embraces their love with a tight grip, not wanting to turn their dreamy kiss into pain.
The second verse adds another layer to the lyrics, with the singer yearning for a life without the worries of a faraway city and people's gossip. They want to travel without a destination, experiencing a lazy afternoon with their beloved. The chorus repeats, asking for a burning kiss that they don't want to turn into pain, while asking their love to erase their melancholy with a smile and hold them tight. They want to stop the seasons and hold their love forever, even if it's just a summer dream.
Overall, the lyrics to Be My Venus convey a sense of carefree, romantic longing for a summer paradise and a beloved with whom everything is possible.
