Swayed by rock 'n' roll

A life sung along to a bouncing melody.

This track, placed at the very end of the 2016 album “6×9=53,” features co-written lyrics with singer-songwriter Toshihide Baba, known for “Start Line.” Baba’s signature, road-movie-like storytelling that weaves through different eras shines throughout, and the layered vocals—Baba’s refreshing tone and KAN’s deeply expressive delivery—add richness and depth.

It’s a song that will likely resonate more and more as you grow older.

A masterpiece that gently accompanies many different ways of living.

Brushing Teeth SongKan & Aki44rank/position

Kan & Aki Toothbrushing Song

I think it’s more convincing because a slightly older girl than those kids who dislike brushing their teeth is singing.

Just imitating the dancing and singing turns into toothbrushing, so it’s as if she’s telling them, “Brushing your teeth is this much fun.”

DISCO 80’sKAN45rank/position

ＤＩＳＣＯ　８０’ｓ

Since KAN has released many albums, there are also some unusual, comical songs like this one among them.

It turns memories of the disco-crazed 1980s into a light-touch pop song.

I think it would make for a fun moment during live performances.

Regrets

A medium-tempo number that paints a bittersweet portrait of youth.

Released in 1989 as the sixth single.

It’s a breakup song with a poignant, tightening melody line and lyrics interwoven with English that leave a strong impression, evoking the joy of first love and a feeling like you could return to those nostalgic days.

It’s nostalgic and seems to sit gently alongside all kinds of regrets.

Though it predates “Ai wa Katsu,” it’s a masterpiece overflowing with KAN’s charm.

Even if you don’t know it, I really hope you give it a listen.

Memo Togire Nagirl

This is a track notable for its upbeat electropop groove.

Included on KAN’s album “23-sai,” it was released in November 2020.

The title, with its distinctive wordplay, and the lyrics, full of humor, convey both the heartache of unrequited love and the songwriter’s playful touch in expressing it lightly.

Produced with an awareness of Yasutaka Nakata–style sounds, the piece showcases KAN’s musical adventurousness.

Be sure to give it a listen around Hinamatsuri!

I can’t stand round butts.KAN48rank/position

Unforgivable Round Butt / KAN

A pop tune whose addictive charm comes from the mismatch between its super poppy, cute melody and its lyrics overflowing with desire.

It was released in 1993 as the lead single from the album “TOKYOMAN.” It’s packed with all sorts of fetishes—perhaps KAN’s personal tastes…? (laughs).

Despite being a striking, impact-heavy “butt song,” KAN’s music goes down easily and is surprisingly listenable.

Taken all together, that vibe of “I love you after all” might make it a track you’ll want to play after a fight.

So conservative it’s almost clumsyKAN49rank/position

So conservative it’s almost clumsy

Conservative means “conservative,” and in the lyrics it’s sung as something whose very obviousness is appealing.

However, because the title has “clumsy” attached to the front, it can also be taken to mean, “Is it really okay to have so little individuality?”
