Ketsumeishi “Ballad”

Ketsumeishi is known for having lots of bright songs with plenty of hip-hop and rap elements, but they actually have ballads too! With gentle melodies over piano and string-backed arrangements… this side of Ketsumeishi is really satisfying to listen to, and it looks cool to sing as well! The song runs close to seven minutes, so it’s on the longer side, but it’s highly recommended when you want something mellow.

Of course, there’s rap in it too, but the tempo is relaxed, so it’s easy to learn and easy to groove to.

It seems best to sing while moving your body in a big, open way.

The chorus is a real highlight, so if you sing each phrase carefully, you can really put your feelings into it.

There are spots where it slips lightly into falsetto, which adds a surge of poignancy.

The latter half of the chorus is a sweet spot for singing, so don’t hesitate—project your voice with confidence!

Ketsumeishi “Sakura”

This iconic song that symbolizes the spring season is also extremely popular at karaoke.

It’s a bittersweet yet heartwarming track that sings of past love, revived alongside scenes of cherry blossoms.

The contrast between the rap-driven storytelling and the catchy chorus that anyone can sing along to is truly moving.

Released as a single in February 2005, it became the group’s biggest hit despite having no tie-in.

Sing it with friends at karaoke, and the emotional atmosphere is sure to deepen.

When the chorus comes, join in together for a rousing sing-along and enjoy the sense of unity!

Summer MemoriesKetsumeishi3rank/position

Ketsumeishi - Summer Memories

A single with a mellow rap and soothing melody that weaves a charming, nostalgic atmosphere.

The lyrics, which sing of memories of radiant summer days spent with friends and the sudden pangs of wistfulness that come back, are something many people will likely overlay with their own youth.

Released in July 2003 as Ketsumeishi’s seventh single, the song became widely familiar as a Vodafone commercial tune.

It’s perfect for an end-of-summer drive or those quiet moments alone in reflection, when you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood.

Ketsumeishi “Nakama” Full Ver.

For those looking for songs focused on male friendship—especially passionate, brotherly bonds—I recommend “Nakama.” It’s a track by the hip-hop group Ketsumeishi.

Set to a sound that blends ballad and reggae, it sings about the importance of friends.

The latter half plays like a cheer song, making it a great choice to dedicate to a friend embarking on a new path.

One more thing to add: the music video.

It features a star-studded cast of actors and is produced in a drama-like style.

The beauties of nature — flowers, birds, wind, and the moon (a poetic expression appreciating nature’s elegance)Ketsumeishi5rank/position

Ketsumeishi “Flowers, Birds, Wind, Moon”

Ketsumeishi is a music group that sparked a hip-hop boom in the overground scene of the 2000s.

Known for many songs about love and friendship, they are recognized as a hip-hop group that drew in a broad general audience with approachable rap.

Among their tracks, “Kachou Fuugetsu” is particularly easy to sing.

The rap element is relatively subdued, and the melody throughout has a somewhat Okinawan folk-song feel.

The vocal range is narrow and the vocal line is simple, but the chorus contains many sustained long notes, so you’ll need to pay attention to volume and key adjustments.
