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.

Million FilmsKobukuro

It was used as the image song for NTT West’s telegram service, but because it was mainly aired in the Kansai region at the time, it wasn’t very well-known in the Kanto area.

However, around 2007—about three years after its release—it was featured in a Calbee potato chips commercial, boosting its recognition.

The song sings about the importance of memories that don’t appear in photographs.
