Ketsumeishi “Kanpai no Uta”

Alcohol, which accompanies farewells and reunions with friends at life’s turning points and helps bring people closer together, plays a role in deepening bonds in many different moments.

The song “Kanpai no Uta” portrays a final toast with a friend setting off on a distant journey, and the toasts shared by those who remain, reminiscing, “I wonder how they’re doing.” Because we can’t stay together forever, it’s a song that makes you want to cherish each and every moment of a toast.

After a few drinks, belting it out at karaoke with a big group of friends might be just the thing.

Carnival

Carnival is a fun, upbeat track with a samba-like rhythm that’s quintessentially Ketsumeishi.

Released as a single in 2007, it seems to be widely used by professional baseball players as a song to pump themselves up.

Its fast, wave-riding flow and driving beat are cool and exciting! With rapid-fire delivery that lets you feel the joy of the rhythm, it’s perfect not only for hyping up live shows but also for creating a fun, everyone-together vibe at karaoke.

The melody is easy to sing, making it a top recommendation for anyone who wants to try a fast-paced vocal style!

JR East 20th Anniversary Shinkansen YEAR Campaign CM

This song is also well-known from the JR commercial.

It was popular around the time the Kyushu Shinkansen opened.

The style is a gentle, mellow track that doesn’t feel like Ketsumeishi’s usual sound.

It’s the kind of song that makes you think “I’ll show them!” after getting scolded by your boss.

I’d love people who aren’t from that generation to listen to it too.

The music video features Eiko Kano, and his wild performance—doing calligraphy right after skydiving—also became a hot topic.

It’s the ultimate festival anthem that makes your body move, makes you want to clap, and lifts you out of any slump.
