Keisuke Kuwata – Sad Feelings (Just a Man in Love) (Full ver.)

This is the solo debut single by Keisuke Kuwata, the vocalist of Southern All Stars.

At first listen it has a bright, breezy sound, but beneath that lies the inescapable loneliness of a man heartbroken in love.

The contrast between the cheerful tone and the heartrending lyrics may, if anything, tighten many listeners’ chests.

Released in October 1987, it was later included on the album “Keisuke Kuwata.” Please take your time and give it a careful listen.

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!

The faraway land of the island of the godsKuwata Keisuke24rank/position

Southern All Stars – Kami no Shima Haruka Kuni [Official Music Video] Short ver.

The lyrics and singing are full of an English complex, but the music video features goofy space characters and is pure fun.

The song has a delightful melody, so it should appeal to kids as well.

You can fully enjoy a track and vocals that are so characteristic of Kuwata, and its unique vibe becomes addictive.

Keisuke Kuwata – Stardust of the Galaxy (Short ver.)

From the very first violin tones in the intro, Keisuke Kuwata’s “Ginga no Hoshikuzu” (Galaxy Stardust) is full-on cool.

Included on his 2011 album “MUSICMAN,” the song was used as the theme for the drama “CONTROL: Hanzai Shinri Sousa” (CONTROL: Criminal Psychology Investigation).

The lyrics depict the afterlife, conjuring some truly mysterious imagery.

The concept of the afterlife is compelling on its own, of course, but above all, the melody is just incredibly cool! It really makes you want to sing it as coolly as Kuwata himself.

The ending theme song of Chibi Maruko-chan, which brings a happy vibe to living rooms from 6 p.m.

on Sundays.

BOHBO No.5Kuwata Keisuke27rank/position

Southern All Stars – BOHBO No.5 [Official Music Video] Short ver.

This is a video clip packed with the charm of Mr.

Kuwata goofing around and doing silly things.

This kind of flashy, circus-like vibe is indispensable to rock and probably the source that influenced him.

And when that’s on the verge of being forgotten, he creates songs and video clips like this.

DarlingKuwata Keisuke28rank/position

Keisuke Kuwata – Darling (Short ver.)

It’s a bright, glamorous song that’s so typical of Kuwata-san, but when you really read the lyrics, it’s actually a heartbreak song.

Even so, it’s crafted with such an upbeat tone that you don’t feel the sadness.

That, in turn, only heightens the poignancy—but taken all together, it should feel “comforting.”
