CheersNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
When it comes to a man among men, it’s Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi.
With that rousing voice, the sound, the melodies…
his fans are truly moved.
Some acoustic guitar arrangements have slightly adjusted chords that make them easier to play, so even beginners can take on these masterpieces.
SUNHoshino Gen
Gen Hoshino, who is also active as an actor and writer, naturally shines as a musician as well.
This song is another piece born from his outstanding songwriting sense.
Its retro arrangement and bright sound are captivating.
The complex chords might feel a bit challenging, but with repeated practice, they’ll help you level up.
Dancing All Nightmonta & burazāzu
A classic that swept through Japan’s 1980s music scene, depicting a sweetly romantic story.
Its nostalgic melody and lyrics that capture delicate emotions resonate deeply.
Yoshinori Monta’s distinctive husky voice beautifully expresses its romantic worldview.
Released in April 1980, it held the No.
1 spot on the Oricon charts for 10 consecutive weeks and won the Gold Prize at the 22nd Japan Record Awards.
Built mainly on three chords—Em, Am, and B7—with just a single Em/A appearing once, it’s a perfect song for mastering guitar fundamentals.
supernovaBUMP OF CHICKEN
This is BUMP OF CHICKEN’s 11th single, released on November 23, 2005.
You might find yourself captivated by the grandeur and beauty of the song.
The lyrics are wonderful as well.
It’s a perfect piece for singing and playing on acoustic guitar.
There aren’t a huge number of chords, but a nice variety is used in good balance, so it’s also great for studying chords!
ImagineJohn Lennon
A textbook-level classic by the famous Beatles member John Lennon.
Many great songs are surprisingly simple, and this one has no complex structure, making it highly recommended for beginner guitarists.
Footsteps ~Be Strong~Mr.Children
This song also served as the theme for the drama “Nobunaga Concerto.” It recalls classic Mr.
Children hits while still showcasing a band that keeps evolving.
Since the original key is F, playing it as-is is packed with barre chords, but using a capo to simplify things will significantly lower the difficulty.
If you play acoustic guitar, Mr.
Children’s songs are like a rite of passage.
You can learn a variety of chord applications, so I highly recommend taking on the challenge.
Slow BalladRC sakuseshon
Released on January 21, 1976, this is RC Succession’s sixth single.
It’s a song beloved by many artists.
The piece progresses in 6/8 time, but you don’t need to think about it too much—just let yourself sink into the rhythm with a kind of waltz-like feel as you play.
It also makes good practice for arpeggio technique!
