AMERICAHamada Shogo38rank/position

AMERICA Shogo Hamada

This is a refreshing song that portrays the ordinary, everyday life spent in America, a place approached with a sense of longing.

It’s included on the 1986 album “J.BOY.” The American scenery depicted through country-tinged sounds and lyrics is striking, evoking a strong image of the America you see in films.

The vocals unfold as if slowly looking back on memories, so relaxing your shoulders may help both with ease of singing and with creating the right mood.

It might also be important to focus on singing as if sending your feelings to a faraway place.

Days of DeceptionHamada Shogo39rank/position

Days of Deception (Sand Castle/1983) / Shogo Hamada

This song was written during a period when Shogo Hamada was struggling with lyric writing, and it features weighty, profound lyrics and a worldview characteristic of Hamada.

It’s a classic that continues to be performed live, and the message of “Itsuwari no Hibi” conveys a search for life’s emptiness and truth.

The melody line has an easy-to-follow structure, though it might be a bit on the high side.

If you project your voice with clear enunciation right from the first note, the flow of the melody becomes very smooth.

Also, since you use breath even in the lower range, where and when you inhale is crucial.

Once you’ve inhaled, exhale decisively and completely without hesitation!

Watch Out for the Parking Meter / Shogo Hamada – Tried Singing It (Karaoke)

Shogo Hamada is a singer-songwriter who has been active since the 1970s.

Among his songs, one that portrays a love affair distorted to the point of warping is “Watch Out for the Parking Meter!” It’s a track that expresses the feelings of a man who becomes emotional after seeing the person he likes getting along with someone else.

Exhausted from working all day, he loses the balance between his body and mind and ends up acting on impulse—lyrics that, paired with a band performance featuring a refreshing melody, create a striking contrast.

It’s a love song crushed by an inescapable reality.

First loveHamada Shogo41rank/position

First Love - Shogo Hamada

A first-love song sung by Hamasho.

That said, his first love wasn’t a woman but—Rock ‘n’ Roll! Sparked by hearing the Beatles on the radio at age ten, he fell in love with rock, and the song tells the story of a life spent loving it ever since.

It’s autobiographical and super cool.
