Ketsumeishi “Ballad”

This work by Ketsumeishi gently embraces listeners with a melody overflowing with songcraft, keeping the rapping to a minimum.

It’s their 24th single, released in January 2011, and it became widely familiar as the theme song for Nippon TV’s information program “Sukkiri!!”.

Sung over a quiet arrangement woven from piano and strings, the lyrics convey the pain of unrequited love and a yearning for a beloved that refuses to fade.

Even an adult man who usually keeps his emotions under wraps may find the long-suppressed ache welling up when he hears this song, perhaps even moved to tears.

It’s a touching adult love ballad that makes you want to listen alone, quietly, on a sleepless night.

Tears / Ketsumeishi (Cover)

When you’re sad, cry your heart out, cry until your tears run dry, and become stronger for every tear you shed—so that in the end, you can smile.

That’s the kind of song this is.

Ketsumeishi’s gentle vocals are wonderful, and because it’s a song that lets you cry as much as you need, I think it also gives you the strength to face forward.

Tokyo / Ketsumeishi - Harumokko☆ (cover)

“Tokyo” is a song by Ketsumeishi, a four-member male hip-hop group.

It portrays leaving one’s hometown to start a job in Tokyo, conveying both the heartache of parting from a loved one to head for the city and the complex mix of feelings between that sadness and the fresh determination to forge ahead in Tokyo.

Sakura – Ketsumeishi (Full)

Sakura by Ketsumeishi, released in 2005.

It caused quite a stir among music enthusiasts at the time because it sounded very similar to Janne Da Arc’s 2000 song Sakura (lol).

It has a rap vibe, but it’s not heavy and is easy to listen to, so it’s perfect for things like driving, don’t you think?

Summer with YouKetsumeishi5rank/position

Ketsumeishi “Summer With You”

It’s a breakup song from a man’s perspective, brimming with lingering feelings.

The lyrics, which recall a brief summer romance from a few years ago, are deeply sentimental.

Not just the seaside—surely everyone has a place filled with memories of a former lover, right? The moment you visit that place after the breakup, all the feelings from back then and thoughts of that former partner come rushing back…

I think many of us have had that experience.
