Chianti’s SongSaitō Kazuyoshi
This piece suddenly brings back memories from when I was little.
“Kanty no Uta” was originally the ending theme of the anime Andersen Monogatari, which aired starting in 1971, and Saito covered it.
It’s included on her 20th album, 202020, released in 2020.
Perhaps because of the soothing melody and vocal work, I naturally find myself reflecting on life, overwhelmed with emotion.
If we’re going to perform it, I’d like to sing as gently as possible to capture that atmosphere.
Ballad of a SingerSaitō Kazuyoshi
This is a bittersweet yet warm song that begins with a simple acoustic guitar tone.
It conveys the weight carried by the words “I love you,” intertwining a moving expression of deep love with the meaning of singing as a performer—truly a masterpiece.
Released in November 1997, its heartfelt vocals and universal message captured many hearts despite its simple sound.
It was chosen as the theme song for the animated film “Lu Over the Wall,” and has been embraced by even more listeners across generations.
With Kazuyoshi Saito’s characteristically warm vocals and memorable melody, it’s easy to sing at karaoke and is recommended when you want to convey your feelings to someone special or sing with heartfelt emotion.
globeYonezu Kenshi
It’s a song in which Kenshi Yonezu sings boldly while reflecting deeply on the path he’s walked and the life he’s lived.
It also drew attention for being chosen as the theme song for Studio Ghibli’s film “The Boy and the Heron.” The gentle vocals layered over a calm, piano-centered sound and the words that evoke fantastical scenery help heighten a tender emotion.
When singing it, clearly emphasizing the rests where the vocal line breaks may convey the act of looking back on life more vividly.
It’s recommended to sing as if speaking to the listener—or to yourself.

Hometown of LightAoba Ichiko
A song by Ichiko Aoba, marked by the pleasantly resonant sound of classical guitar and her beautifully clear vocals.
It leaves you feeling as if you’re standing on the boundary between the everyday and the extraordinary.
I hope you’ll listen to it—or try singing it yourself—in a calm place, swaying under dappled sunlight.
Goodbye, TearsSuzuki Masayuki
Masayuki Suzuki released a full cover album titled “DISCOVER JAPAN III.” It features many classic songs, but the easiest to sing among them is “Namida-kun Sayonara.” The song was originally released by Kyu Sakamoto in 1965.
While the original gives a gentle, tender impression, the cover version is performed with a powerful, R&B-like vocal style.
That said, it preserves the charm of the original.
Try listening to the original and the cover side by side to note the differences and practice.
