Kobukuro’s classic and popular songs

Let us introduce songs by the popular male folk duo, Kobukuro.

Renowned for their powerful vocals, the two create an exquisite harmony with their voices, delivering performances so impactful they overwhelm listeners.

Although they met and formed their duo in Osaka, an event they held until 2010 called Fan Festa took place in Wakayama, and—curiously—the headquarters of their agency, Minosuke Office Kobukuro, is also located in Wakayama.

This is because, during their indie days, they were supported by a patron who ran a game shop in Wakayama called Minosuke; that person is now the president of their current agency.

Now, please take your time and savor the supreme harmony of the two members of Kobukuro.

A song like a campfireKobukuro

When you think of camping, you think of a campfire—and when you think of a campfire, maybe this song.

It’s a track by the popular duo Kobukuro, known for their beautiful choral work, included on their 2012 best-of album “ALL SINGLES BEST 2.” No matter how hard or painful things get, if we live by supporting one another, everything will be okay—that’s the comforting message the lyrics convey.

The harmony of the two singers is deeply moving, a tear-jerking message song.

I LOVE YOUKobukuro

The song used in the DyDo Blend Coffee commercial is “I LOVE YOU,” one of the signature songs by Yutaka Ozaki, who passed away at a young age, and it’s covered here by Kobukuro.

It’s also included on Kobukuro’s 2010 cover album released for their 10th anniversary, ALL COVERS BEST.

Hearing them sing it brings out a different kind of charm, doesn’t it? Many artists have covered this song, so it’s fun to compare the different versions.

The song used in the commercial “Tsukimi Burger: Father” for McDonald’s classic autumn menu item, the Tsukimi Burger, is “Mikazuki,” a nod to the moon.

The track is Ayaka’s fourth single, released in 2006, and is one of her signature songs.

In this commercial, “Mikazuki” is covered by Kobukuro.

It’s a gentle ballad—a poignant love song about long-distance relationships and missing someone you can’t easily meet.

Hearing it with male vocals reveals a different kind of charm.
