KAN 'Pop Music' Short Version

An addictive disco tune with a sparkling rhythm.

It’s the 35th single, released in 2020.

The insanely catchy hook in the chorus is the best, and the 80s-flavored programmed sound gives it a pleasantly retro feel.

The choice of words is fun too! The dance choreography by Karco, who worked on Wink’s “Lonely Tropical Fish” and Shingo Mama’s “Ohayo Rock,” is also adorable.

It’s an uplifting number packed with KAN’s pop-ism!

The song title sense is a bit questionable, but the track itself is really excellent.

I think this might be a B-side or an album cut, but it’s too good to remain overlooked.

This level of quality is what makes him so remarkable.

Adult Band 2014 Winter — West Home Town

This song, “West Home Town,” is included on KAN’s 10th album and was released in 1994.

It’s a piece inspired by KAN’s hometown, Fukuoka Prefecture, incorporating local dialect into the lyrics to create a relaxed feel.

[Maru Suba] Always seriously thinking about you

This is a masterpiece by KAN, one of Japan’s leading singer-songwriters.

It’s still performed at live shows today, and KAN himself seems fond of it.

The song sets his honest feelings—constantly thinking about her—to a straightforward melody.

Unusual for KAN, he’s singing while dancing.

I only had the image of him playing the piano, so I was honestly surprised.

He looks striking with the headset mic, almost like Janet Jackson in her prime.

ReposeKAN35rank/position

Repose

A ballad with lyrics written by Kazutoshi Sakurai of Mr.Children, included on the 2016 album “6×9=53.” The lyrics depict a fleeting atmosphere and inner conflict.

Life is a series of choices, and sometimes we make big mistakes.

But with the person you love by your side, there are things you can overcome.

Listening to Sakurai’s words and KAN’s singing makes you feel that everything has meaning, and that feeling can be saving.

Also, enjoy the different angle compared to KAN’s early masterpiece “Regrets.”
