A Summer Tale of Six Men and WomenKetsumeishi

Ketsumeishi “A Summer Story of Six Men and Women”

This legendary summer-themed track by the rap band Ketsumeishi, known for producing numerous classics, captures the season perfectly.

Despite its laid-back tempo, it never feels overbearing and instead leaves you feeling refreshed.

It’s a song that can bring back those slightly bittersweet memories from the past and let you bask in nostalgia.

Make & BreakKetsumeishi

Ketsumeishi “Make & Break”

This is a song by the music duo Ketsumeishi, active since 1993.

It’s the B-side track of Ketsumeishi’s 25th single, “Moon and Sun.” Used in a Huis Ten Bosch commercial, the song sings brightly about the future and dreams.

Laugh wellKetsumeishi

Ketsumeishi “Yoku Warae”

Among people who aren’t familiar with rap, some may see it as aggressive, full of criticism toward society or others, and often tied to conflict—a negative image.

This song, “Yokuwarae,” overturns that perception.

I see it as an ambitious work by Ketsumeishi, who are always at the forefront of the rap scene.

While it evokes a certain nostalgia, it doesn’t rely solely on sentiment; this track has a musical comfort that stands on its own.

It’s a surefire song that will bring you a relaxed, genuine smile.

To the children’s futureKetsumeishi

Ketsumeishi - To the Children's Future (Karaoke)

The song featured in Mizuho Bank’s “Soccer Player Growth” commercial is Ketsumeishi’s “Kodomo-tachi no Mirai e” (To the Children’s Future).

It is included on their 2008 album Ketsuno-Police 6.

The song expresses the thought: What can we do, and what should we pass on, so that children can walk toward a wonderful future? Its warm feelings for the future of children will resonate not only with parents, but with many adults as well.

It might be a good opportunity to think about what you can do, inspired by this song!

Original songKetsumeishi

Mitsuhiro Oikawa and Maria Tani share a passionate hug! The two deliver fervent performances as “lovers” in a new SOKUYAKU commercial.

Have you seen J Frontier’s SOKUYAKU commercial, “The Promise Between Two (Insurance Treatment)”? The scene where Mitsuhiro Oikawa and Maria Tani embrace in the rain is unforgettable, isn’t it? The music in that commercial is an original track by Ketsumeishi.

The beautiful vocals are mesmerizing, but if you listen closely to the lyrics, you’ll notice the product name woven in throughout.

You can also hear different sections of the song in other ads from the series.

It really makes you curious what the full version is like, doesn’t it?

Misoji BombayeKetsumeishi

Thirty Road Bomba-ye

A track included on the 4th album “Ketsunopolis 4,” released on June 29, 2005.

As the title suggests, it centers on the theme of turning thirty (“misoji”), and its lyrics—akin to an anthem cheering on those in their thirties—leave a strong impression.
