Summer MemoriesKetsumeishi

[Summer Song] Summer Memories / Ketsumeishi [covered by Yuki Kuroki]

When I listen to this song, I feel like summer is already coming to an end this year.

There’s a touch of sadness as I look back on my summer memories, but I also get to bask in the fun ones.

Ketsumeishi’s live shows are really entertaining! If you’ve been, you probably know this, but at most concerts there’s an MC between songs where they just talk, right? But at their shows, they do comedy skits.

It’s like the skits are the main feature, with songs in between.

And those skits are written by Untouchable’s Shibata, so of course they’re fun.

Ketsumeishi themselves have a blast performing, and their fans have a great time too—they’re an amazing group.

I’m YoursŌhashi Torio

Ohashi Trio I’m Yours. (HD)

“I’m Yours” is a famous Jason Mraz song covered by Ohashi Trio.

His gentle voice is both mellow and refreshing, making it a soothing listen.

Ohashi Trio—despite the name—is actually a solo musician.

It’s a bit confusing, right? He performs solo and can play not only piano and guitar, but also drums, bass, and various other instruments, handling everything himself from composition and lyrics to performance.

His musical range is broad, and the way he sings jazz with a cool, understated vibe is seriously stylish.

He’s got so many great songs—HONEY, for example, is so good it’s even used at weddings.

Shonan Anthemdōraku

Douraku / Shonan ANTHEM (short ver.)

Born in Kamakura, he grew up with reggae around him because his brother’s friend was HAN-KUN from Shonan no Kaze, and discovering Bob Marley and Miki Dōzan became the catalyst for him to become a reggae singer.

His songs have soul, with cool melodies, a powerful voice, and lyrics he writes that are moving and relatable.

His signature track is “Still in Love,” and I’m deeply moved by his bittersweet love songs from a man’s perspective—the kind that make your heart clench—capturing feelings a man realizes only after a breakup.
