Friendship, you know,Ketsumeishi

Friendship, you know,

Many of us have probably experienced growing a little distant from friends we used to see almost every day, laughing together over silly conversations.

This warm mid-tempo ballad from Ketsumeishi depicts friendships that have changed with time, and the enduring value of bonds that remain unchanged.

The track is included on their album “Ketsuno-Polis 13,” released in January 2024.

Why not give it a listen as you reminisce about the old days before meeting up with an old friend again?

Summer, beer, and rock ’n’ rollKetsumeishi

Summer, beer, and rock ’n’ roll

It’s an irresistibly bright rock ’n’ roll number that feels like a herald of summer’s arrival.

You can just picture the feverish scene: soaking up the sun, working up a sweat, and reveling in beer and music from morning till night.

This track was included on the single “Danjo 6-nin Natsu Monogatari,” released in July 2006, and can also be heard on the album “Ketsunopolis 5.” At a summer festival or a barbecue with friends, dance the night away with a beer in hand, and you might just make the kind of unforgettable memories that blow the summer heat away.

I'll walk.

Isn’t it true that everyone has moments in life when they hit a wall or lose sight of the path forward? This is a KeshiMeishi anthem to life that, when you listen to it, fills you with the courage to start walking on your own two feet again.

The track was released in June 2005 and is featured on the classic album Ketsuno Police 4, which surpassed two million in total sales.

It embraces wounds and tears as proof of a life lived, and encourages you to believe in yourself and keep moving toward the future.

Its indomitable message, carried by a rich, full sound, resonates straight to the heart.

For anyone embarking on a new challenge or facing hardship, it’s sure to give you a powerful push forward.
