Its deeply moving lyrics and his distinctive vocal timbre leave a strong impression.

It showcases his folk guitar technique and the “kobushi” vocal ornamentation inherited from his father, a traditional folk singer.
The track has been included in many releases, from original albums to best-of compilations.
When singing it at karaoke, it’s recommended to approach it as if you’re sipping sake and reflecting on your life.
It might also be perfect to cap off a drink with coworkers after work.

Ya Ya (I Won’t Forget That Time)Sazan Ōrusutāzu
Since it’s a mellow ballad, it’s best suited for a calm moment when you feel like everyone’s pretty much done singing.
It’s a song that can be a bit tricky to master.
You can sing it in the style of Keisuke Kuwata, or arrange it in your own way—either works well for this piece.
The little anecdote that Kuwata wrote it with his older sister in mind also adds charm to a karaoke performance.
If you get the chance, please give it a try!
