The end of love comes surprisingly quietly.Ketsumeishi

The end of love comes surprisingly quietly.

A rare sweet ballad for Ketsumeishi, sung with poignant sorrow.

It vividly recounts memories left in the shared space—like the chopsticks the two chose together and the room decor she actively helped create.

Included on the album Ketsuno-Police 5, released in August 2007, this track stirs deep emotions that anyone who has experienced heartbreak can relate to.

Ketsumeishi “Wagamono-tachi yo” Lyric Video

A song released on October 31, 2025, it’s a life-affirming anthem dedicated to headstrong adults.

It carries a powerful message that turns failures into funny stories.

Since it’s by Ketsumeishi, there are rap parts too, making it appealing because you don’t have to worry much about pitch when singing.

The tempo is relaxed, so it’s a song you can sing calmly, but it’s important to lock into the rhythm, and you might stumble a bit where there are lots of words.

For a song like this, it’s best to memorize the lyrics! Try singing it every day as if you’re humming to yourself.

Light humming is also recommended.

My friend—now and forever…Ketsumeishi

Ketsumeishi “My Friend ~ From Here On Forever…”

As the title suggests, the theme is “unchanging friendship and gratitude,” and it’s a warm song that makes you want to share it with someone you love.

There are many comments on YouTube addressed to Ryuhei Ueshima, and just reading them made my heart swell.

This is actually a memorable song for me, too.

When I had just become a vocal coach, I had a student in their 50s who practiced this song all the time.

They said, “It’s easy to get into, it’s fun, and it’s just a great song!” I totally agree—once you nail the rhythm and the flow of the words, you don’t need to worry too much about pitch.

That said, the section right before the second chorus does have some larger intervals, so it’s cooler if you pick out those notes one by one for a tighter finish.

I love this song too—want to practice it together?
