The fiery soul and the roots of folk felt in Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s classic song

I’m glad it wasn’t a sneeze.Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi

Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi – Glad It Wasn’t a Sneeze (from “ACOUSTIC LIVE”)

The melody is quite hard to sing, but the content of the song is kind of cute (lol).

Since it’s up-tempo, I think the chorus will stick in people’s heads.

When Tsuyoshi sings, it seems like he can make any lyrics sound cool (lol).

Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi – Our Nirai Kanai (SPECIAL REMIX DVD)

This song was composed in an Okinawan style.

As someone who loves Okinawa, I fell in love with it instantly (lol).

Listening to this makes me want to drive around Okinawa as soon as possible! Within this mellow tune are warm, heartfelt words—it’s a truly wonderful song.

Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi – Sakurajima (from ARENA TOUR 2010–2011 TRY AGAIN)

Since it’s a song inspired by his hometown’s Sakurajima, you can tell Tsuyoshi puts even more spirit into his singing, and you can already feel how cool the track is even before the vocals come in (lol).

If you heard it live, you’d probably get goosebumps!

Mother’s SongNagabuchi Tsuyoshi

Kaachan No Uta

This is a warm, gentle song that looks back on the image of a mother who was always a source of strength while struggling after moving to Tokyo.

It is said to be based on Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s own experiences, and was included on the 2017 album “BLACK TRAIN.” The simple acoustic guitar and vocal style conveys the desire to deliver the lyrics straight and true.

The gentle, conversational tempo makes it easy to sing, and it may also be important to consider how to infuse the performance with one’s own feelings toward one’s mother.

It’s a song that makes me feel like I could cry when I listen to it in times of hurt.

But it also makes me feel like I’ve got to keep going.

The lyrics conjure up scenes of the wide sky and the vast ocean, which naturally soothe me, and the resolve to try again wells up on its own, giving me strength.

That’s the power Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi has.

When I admire someone or have someone special in my life, I find myself in tears when I listen to this song.

The lyrics are wonderful, the melody is gentle, and whenever I’m troubled, I listen to it because it feels like it’s washing my heart clean.

Captain of the shipNagabuchi Tsuyoshi

Satoshi Ohno’s recommendation: Captain of the Ship

I think this is Tsuyoshi’s longest song.

It’s a track filled with his passionate feelings, and when he sings it, it looks like he’s singing as if his life depends on it (sweat).

It really carries his sincere, earnest feelings about the times.
