In October 2016, he triumphed as the champion on NHK Nodo Jiman.
He made his major debut in January 2022 with the single “Eien no Ichibyo ~Stretched love~.” While rooted in enka and kayōkyoku, his music also skillfully incorporates pop sensibilities, as heard in “Junjō Hototogisu,” produced by Tsunku♂.
His solid talent—evident in “Hi no Tori,” which reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Enka/Kayō Singles Ranking—and his endearing personality, known by the nickname “Popo,” are among his chief attractions.

A song released under the name Yuichiro Sakuraba, the character played by Tomoya Nagase in a TV drama.
Produced by Tsunku♂, this track overlays the singer’s loneliness onto a single toothbrush left by the sink, weaving a heartrending number about the lingering attachment to a lover who has left.
It was included on TOKIO’s single “Message / Hitoribocchi no Haburashi,” released in May 2001, and became a major hit as an in-show song for the drama Muko Dono.
Even if he acts tough, he’s crying inside—the painful vulnerability of a man comes through all too clearly.

It features the band’s characteristic vocals—lustrous and at times intense.
The song’s vocal range is exceptionally wide, spanning from mid1E to hihiA.
This alone limits who can sing it, but since the tempo is relaxed, it can be considered an easy song to sing for those who can handle falsetto and sudden pitch changes without issue.

Their core as a person is wavering.Ōtsuki Kenji to Zetsubō Shōjotachi
This work is exhilarating for the way its lyrics boldly cut in from a deliberately slanted perspective against the trend of valuing social success and an unwavering way of life.
It served as the opening theme for season one of the TV anime Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei, based on Koji Kumeta’s manga, and was released in August 2007.
Its hard, high-velocity rock sound intertwines Kenji Ohtsuki’s tenacious vocals with the cute call-and-response of the girls, creating a uniquely addictive effect.
When you’re a bit worn out by society’s so-called common sense, it gives you energy along with a dose of cynical laughter.
