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.

Kobukuro’s classic and popular songs (91–100)

A hidden gem from Kobukuro, who always deliver perfectly synchronized harmonies.

The lyrics are from a dog’s perspective and a bit comical, and the reggae-style, upbeat arrangement is incredibly appealing.

It’s included on their 2002 album “grapefruits.”

A sparkling, refreshing sound that’s quintessentially Kobukuro.

While their long-running hit classic “Eien ni Tomo ni” is told from the groom’s perspective, “Silhouette” takes the bride’s point of view, making it a wedding song where the feelings of the two overlap.

Originally written for a friend of Kobukuro, the song was later included on their 2011 single “Ano Taiyo ga, Kono Sekai o Terashi Tsuzukeru Youni.” It’s a wish brimming with happiness—an answer-style love song that makes you want to keep the pure feelings expressed in it, no matter how much time passes.

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.

BetelgeuseKobukuro

It’s a song included on Kobukuro’s 16th single, “Toki no Ashioto,” released in 2008.

It was used in a Cube commercial, in which the two members of Kobukuro also appear.

Comparing an ex-girlfriend to Betelgeuse, it’s a bittersweet yet warm song that conveys a feeling that’s always present.
