The Moon and the SunKetsumeishi36rank/position

Ketsumeishi “The Moon and the Sun”

Ketsumeishi’s “Moon and Sun” is their 25th single, released in 2013.

Many listeners may recognize it as a drama’s ending theme.

Using the contrasting keywords of the moon and the sun, the lyrics are striking in the way they depict dramatic human relationships and deep affection as the two influence each other.

It’s pop yet bittersweet, with rap that feels comfortable and blends with a moving rhythm that may bring you to tears before you know it.

The back-and-forth rap is cool too, making it a great recommendation for a karaoke duet!

TokyoKetsumeishi37rank/position

Tokyo

The essence of a bittersweet love song.

Set amid the bustle of the big city, it quietly sings—over a medium-tempo melody—of a protagonist who can’t forget the person they left back in their hometown.

Featured on Ketsumeishi’s album Ketsunopolis 4, released in June 2005, this track is unusual for the group, known for their brisk rap-infused numbers, as it minimizes the rap sections to deliver a tender, aching vocal performance.

It’s perfect for anyone grappling with the loneliness and nostalgia of the metropolis, and the unease of a self that’s changing.

A hidden gem packed with emotions everyone living in Tokyo has felt at least once.

You two, SummerKetsumeishi38rank/position

Ketsumeishi “You Two, Summer”

It’s a song that vividly colored the summer of 2010.

A breezy 1970s disco sound layered with a buoyant soca-style beat lifts your spirits, and the tonal gradation that begins with acoustic guitar feels like a fanfare announcing the arrival of summer.

The lyrics, in lyrical strokes, depict bittersweet memories of driving along the coastline, as well as the nostalgia and yearning for the future that we feel precisely because we’re now adults.

Released in July 2010, the track also became familiar as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Onegai! Ranking” in August of the same year.

It’s a perfect classic for those moments when you reminisce about days gone by while making the most of the summer you’re living right now.

Human CrossingKetsumeishi40rank/position

Human Crossing

At the grand intersection of life, people pass by, meet, and weave new stories.

This song captures such fragile yet warm human moments.

Released in October 2016, it was later included in the best-of album “KETSUNOPOLIS 10.” There’s even an anecdote that, though it was once rejected in a production meeting, it was revived thanks to the members’ strong conviction.

When you’re feeling a bit uneasy in a new environment or find yourself reminiscing about old friends at night, listening to it may remind you anew of the preciousness of human connections.

If you’re in your 30s, it’s a pop tune with catchy rap and melodies that you’ll want to try at karaoke.
