Midsummer Fruit

Of course, there are men in their 60s who like Keisuke Kuwata.

One of my teachers from my school days was the same age as Kuwata, and he really liked him—he admired him so much he even did impressions.

As someone younger at the time, I felt that people of the same generation probably saw him as someone to look up to.

“Manatsu no Kajitsu” spans a fairly wide range, from A2 to B4, but I think it’s a very singable song for that generation.

The song builds toward the latter half and the pitch rises, so it’s good to focus on producing your voice with ease.

In any case, be mindful of staying relaxed, and sing in a way that resonates in your head and chest—your body will carry the sound, so you can increase volume without having to sing loudly.

When you go to sing, do it without hesitation!

Keisuke Kuwata – Midnight Dandy (Full ver.)

A quintessential track from the early days of Keisuke Kuwata’s solo career, steeped in a hard-boiled atmosphere.

Released in October 1993, the song seems to portray a lone man navigating the city nights while carrying a sense of emptiness and futility about life.

It’s a piece that resonates deeply with adults who have been through many experiences.

The gritty yet wistful rock sound, paired with vocals that feel wrung from the soul, is irresistibly cool.

Created to commemorate the sixth anniversary of his solo debut, this classic was later included on the album “Kodoku no Taiyō” (The Sun of Loneliness).

With its nostalgic vibe, this song is great for listening alone on a long autumn night—or humming along with friends from the same generation.
