Keisuke Kuwata’s famous and popular songs (71–80)
ROCK AND ROLL HEROKuwata Keisuke
It’s a solo track, but it has the tight, aggressive cohesion of a full band.
The song has a T.
Rex-like vibe, yet Kuwata’s vocals give it such presence that you forget those comparisons.
It’s definitely a song that will hype up the crowd live.
Aya ~Aja~Kuwata Keisuke
There isn’t a big difference between Kuwata’s solo songs and Southern’s tracks.
If anything, the solo work has slightly more acoustic guitar–based songs, while Southern, being a band, is mindful of the members and uses more instruments and a denser sound.
Which one you prefer will vary by person, but both are incredibly satisfying to listen to.
A song dedicated to my belovedKuwata Keisuke
His versatility makes you wonder what on earth is going on in his head.
This song has a slightly different vibe from his usual Kuwata style, but the strength of the melody is intact, so you can listen with confidence.
He’s a rare artist who thrives and succeeds both with his band and as a solo performer.
TokyoKuwata Keisuke
This is a hidden gem that many fans love.
The music video has a moody black-and-white aesthetic, and since Mr.
Kuwata plays the role of a taxi driver, it’s worth watching at least once.
Surprisingly, it doesn’t feel out of place at all—he’s practically like a professional actor.
Midnight DandyKuwata Keisuke
The intro uses a classic rock progression that dates back to the Chuck Berry era.
When Kuwata, who loves soul and funk, layers his vocals over it, the song transforms into something like the pinnacle of kayō rock.
The music video is also compelling, with lots of close-ups of his face.
Let me hear the poetry of the wind.Kuwata Keisuke
Mr.
Kuwata’s work has a dual nature: there are playful, silly songs and serious ones.
This song is the latter, and you could call it an unforgettable masterpiece once you hear it.
Singing about loneliness and heartache in this way is Mr.
Kuwata’s specialty, and it’s something no one else can imitate.
Saints of Moonlight (Mr. Moonlight)Kuwata Keisuke
It’s a grand piece, like the closing track on a major overseas band’s album.
Normally, a song like this would go overboard and end up feeling cheesy, which tends to turn off anyone but hardcore fans.
But in Kuwata’s case, his sense of balance is exquisite—he never overdoes it, and that restraint is masterful.
