Like “Shiroi Koibito-tachi,” this song is also one of Mr.
Kuwata’s signature tracks.
In the opening of the music video, he showcases skillful acting, making it worth watching for that alone.
It remains a quintessential summer song, and I feel like listening to it whenever the weather gets hot.
Tokyo VICTORYKuwata Keisuke
It sounds like a sports cheer song, but to me it feels like a song cheering on everyone.
This type of song is hard to pull off, yet when Southern or Mr.
Kuwata make it, it doesn’t come off as preachy and instead draws you in.
The melody is great, and I think it’s a new anthem.
After the FestivalKuwata Keisuke
It’s a classic song that’s hugely popular live.
One hallmark is that many of his songs take “the end” as their theme, and yet Mr.
Kuwata keeps on singing—he must be something more than just an object of admiration for his fans.
He’s a charming middle-aged man who, though a bit playful, makes that very playfulness feel endearing.
I wonder if it will be sunny tomorrow.Kuwata Keisuke
With its simple guitar and striking piano, this unforgettable masterpiece is made for grown-up listeners.
Kuwata includes several such wonderful songs on his albums, which is likely the secret to keeping fans loyal.
You can truly feel the greatness of someone who has been active for decades.
White LoversKuwata Keisuke
Among Kuwata’s solo songs, this is one of the most famous and representative.
The iconic scene of him playing the piano is so well known that there’s hardly anyone who doesn’t know it.
The chorus melody is splendid, and it can be said to be a remarkable song that broke free from a Western-music complex.
A million years of happiness!!Kuwata Keisuke
The lyrics were written by Ms.
Momoko Sakura, the creator of the famous manga Chibi Maruko-chan, making this a very ambitious piece that breaks new ground.
It’s a classic song that families and children can enjoy.
My daughter likes this song too, so for a while it was played often in our home.
