A moving song that brought a fresh breeze to Japan’s music scene.

Released in March 2024 as the theme song for the film “My Girlfriend is an April Fool.” Its lyrics beautifully weave themes of love and the transience of time, and Fujii’s delicate vocals resonate deeply.

It sings of the resolve to press on through bright days and dark ones alike, and the importance of loving everything without reservation.

The gentle vocals layered with the piano’s timbre leave a lasting impression.

Sing it when you stand at a crossroads in life or when you’ve experienced parting with someone dear.

Fujii Kaze’s hit number, “Yasashisa” (“Kindness”).

Since it appears frequently in the media and on social media, many of you have probably heard it.

Among Fujii Kaze’s songs, this one uses relatively little of the vocal technique known as “feints” (melismatic ad-libs) common in R&B, so it’s comparatively easier to sing.

However, because it’s a song where you often need to project your voice, pay close attention to volume and vocal production.

People who usually sing only whispery songs tend to sing in a high-larynx position, where the Adam’s apple is raised, so be mindful to produce your voice in a fuller, more sustained way.

A track marked by its catchy melody and poppy sound.

Released in July 2024, this song is a collaboration with music producer A.

G.

Cook and brims with Fujii Kaze’s uniquely distinctive worldview.

The lyrics convey the importance of living without fearing change, and together with the airy, floating sound arrangement, you’re left feeling lighter after listening.

Perfect for when you need a boost or a change of mood.

Highly recommended to sing along freely and have fun!

The song I want to listen to in the pleasantly breezy autumn season is Kaze Fujii’s “Hana.” It was released on October 13, 2023, and is also included on the album “Hana EP.” What first catches the ear is its R&B musicality, where fresh, vivid piano intertwines with a simple band sound.

Above all, the beauty of the lyrics, which trace a journey of self-discovery, truly stands out.

Fujii’s distinctive singing style that spans scales may be a bit challenging if you’re thinking about karaoke singability, but if you master whisper tones and shifts in vocal color, anyone can get hooked on singing it.

The song has a wide vocal range, so be sure to warm up thoroughly from low to high notes before taking it on.

A warm, heartfelt song filled with a message of encouragement for someone special.

Written specifically for NTT Docomo’s “KAZE FILMS docomo future project,” the piece was released digitally in October 2022.

It’s marked by Fujii Kaze’s uniquely gentle vocals and a melody that sinks deep into the heart.

Under the theme that “everyone has talent,” it sings about the courage to take on challenges and the importance of self-acceptance.

It’s a recommended track for times when you want to face yourself or encourage someone else.

Fujii Kaze’s song “Shinunoga E-Wa,” included on his 2020 album “HELP EVER HURT NEVER,” became a global hit in 2022 through TikTok.

The secret to its singability lies in its catchy melody and Fujii’s unique lyricism.

If you sing it at karaoke, expressive delivery and emotional control are key.

Make use of the wide vocal range from low to high notes to convey the song’s bittersweet yet powerful message.

And of course, don’t forget to practice.

Whether you’re a Fujii Kaze fan or just love karaoke, why not give it a try at least once?

Kaze Fujii’s classic “Tabiji.” As for the track, while it features a heavier bass reminiscent of D’Angelo’s “Feel Like Makin’ Love” or “Cruisin,” it doesn’t go so far as to be fully soulful, and it’s crafted to feel familiar and approachable for Japanese listeners.

The vocal line feels like orthodox J-pop, with almost no ad-libs, so even those not used to R&B should be able to sing it without issue.

The falsetto in the chorus might feel a bit tricky, but on the flip side, trying it in chest voice can sometimes bring the whole thing together nicely—give it a shot.

The song that sparked Fujii Kaze’s rise to nationwide popularity, “Nan-Nan w.” It’s a track with a groovy feel that evokes neo-soul, a genre close to R&B, and it stands out for its distinctive vocal lines sprinkled with unique lyrics.

I think the key to this piece is the vocal technique.

Since it leans heavily on low notes, many people may find it challenging.

In that case, try jutting your chin slightly forward as you sing.

Increasing the volume of the oral cavity makes resonance easier, which helps the low notes carry better.

Kirinaki Kara, a masterpiece by Fujii Kaze released in 2020, is characterized by electronic sounds that evoke a cyberpunk world.

Among his songs, this one is especially easy to sing.

Although Fujii Kaze is primarily an R&B artist, his music often has strong pop elements and many catchy phrases.

In particular, this track is unusual for Fujii Kaze in that it doesn’t feature the vocal technique known as “feiku” (melismatic ad-libbing).

While there are sections with slightly complex flow, it’s still a song that’s easy to sing.

Fujii Kaze’s masterpiece “damn,” released in 2022.

The title “damn” corresponds to Japanese expressions like “kuso ga” or “chikushō,” meaning something like “damn it.” True to its title, the song opens with a defeatist melody.

Just when you think it will continue that way, the chorus modulates and unfolds into a high-voltage pop-rock style melody.

Be mindful of projecting properly in the falsetto sections.

Go for it, boldly!
