A cover by Bank Band, a group centered around Takeshi Kobayashi—who has worked with Mr.Children—and band member Kazutoshi Sakurai.
Sakurai’s signature passion shines through, giving it a different vibe from the original.
That gentle, lingering resonance might be what makes this song so appealing.
Listening to “Wakamono no Subete” evokes the loneliness and beauty of summer’s end, doesn’t it? It’s included on Enshi Soai 3, which, compared to the previous entries in the series, features more songs by bands that were up-and-coming at the time.
Ballad of a SingerBank Band5rank/position
Bank Band, primarily led by Kazutoshi Sakurai of Mr.Children and music producer Takeshi Kobayashi.
This song is a cover of Kazuyoshi Saito’s signature track, “Utautai no Ballad.” It’s long been a popular wedding song.
Many may feel they’ve already listened to this male-perspective “pure love” ballad countless times, but when you sit down and really listen again, it moves you all over again—one of those songs that brings you to tears no matter how many times you hear it.
Hearing it in Sakurai’s voice shakes your emotions even more.
