Wii U Karaoke Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi - Kibaiyanse

It may sound a bit rough in the Kagoshima dialect, but it’s a song that hits you later, like friends or seniors encouraging you when you’re about to give up.

Nagabuchi’s manly, dialect-infused encouragement really carries weight.

Adding “yanse” makes it sound softer, doesn’t it?

JEEP

It’s a track that vividly conjures the image of a lone man racing down the bayside road before dawn.

As he confronts past regrets and lingering anxieties, a cup of coffee by the sea resets his heart, solidifying his resolve to move forward once again.

The brisk rhythm of the acoustic guitar and the faintly wistful harmonies seem to reflect the protagonist’s emotional nuances with striking clarity.

Released in July 1990 as the lead single from the landmark album “JEEP,” the song also speaks to Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s strong will—evident in the story that he declined commercial tie-ins to uphold his musical convictions.

For anyone feeling stuck, this song may quietly stay by your side and gently nudge you toward taking a step into tomorrow.

It may be one of the lesser-known songs among Nagabuchi’s works, but it’s known as the theme song for the drama “Oyako Game,” in which he starred.

It’s an up-tempo track, so it’s easy to get into.

If you sing this song, it will definitely bring back the scene with Mario from Oyako Game.

Silent AfghanistanNagabuchi Tsuyoshi26rank/position

Silent Afghan (from “Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi ALL NIGHT LIVE IN Sakurajima 04.8.21”)

The song that addresses the Afghanistan conflict following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States is Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s “Shizuka Naru Afghan” (“Silent Afghan”).

Nagabuchi is one of the few musicians known for using the power of music to voice opinions about his country and politics.

Released as a single in 2002, “Shizuka Naru Afghan” features the kind of frank and uncompromising lyrics characteristic of Nagabuchi.

Unfortunately, the lyrics were considered too direct, which led to the song being banned from television and radio broadcasts, but it’s an anti-war song I really hope you’ll listen to at least once.
