Nothing specialSakurazaka46
Among the Sakamichi groups, the idol group Keyakizaka46 is especially known for its stylish musicality.

It’s a mid-tempo piece with an impressive, grand arrangement, but it features numerous rests and gently flowing pitch movement, making it exceptionally easy to sing.
The vocal range isn’t exactly narrow, yet it doesn’t go particularly high either, so in many respects it can be considered a very singable song.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.

Quoting the traditional Japanese “Iroha Uta,” it powerfully sings of the joys and hardships of everyday life while praising Kansai’s culture and the temperament of its people.
The song strongly conveys Kanjani Eight’s love and pride for their hometown.
Released exclusively in the Kansai region in August 2004 and nationwide the following month, it was used as the ending theme for the TV Tokyo variety show “Ura-Jani.” Highly recommended for those who want to savor a distinctly Kansai atmosphere or who are interested in a fusion of traditional Japanese music and contemporary sound.
It was rainy again in Nagasaki today.Maekawa Kiyoshi
The classic song that marked vocalist Kiyoshi Maekawa’s memorable starting point, “Nagasaki wa Kyou mo Ame Datta” (“It Was Raining Again in Nagasaki Today”), was a smash hit released in 1969 by Hiroshi Uchiyamada and the Cool Five.
It’s also a quintessential ‘local song,’ and a popular Nagasaki-themed number alongside “Nagasaki no Onna” and “Nagasaki Blues.” It has since been covered by many singers, and Maekawa himself continues to perform it as a solo artist, so most people have likely heard it at least once regardless of generation.
The piece is in 4/4 time with a melody that’s essentially built on triplets, and it briefly weaves in a 2/4 measure at the climactic part of the chorus.
It’s best sung with careful attention to the rhythm.
