Sakura

It’s a masterpiece that exudes the melancholy of a man feeling lonely on a night by himself.

It’s a song by Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi, a singer-songwriter from Kagoshima Prefecture, included on his 21st album “FRIENDS,” released in 2009.

There are times when you catch yourself thinking, “I’m jealous of the way that person lives,” right? And compared to that, you end up sinking into self-loathing.

It’s a piercing ballad that traces memories while reflecting on the night cherry blossoms.

Be sure to listen to it on a spring evening while taking a walk.

Crying hoodlum

With its upbeat vibe, it gets you hyped just watching it live! Listening to this song while driving along the coastline makes everything feel cool and it’s such a great feeling.

That said, when this song is on, I’d rather be in the back seat (lol).

Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi Cover: “Gekiai” (Fierce Love)

Gekiai, which is used as the theme song for the film Orgol, has a melody so heartrending it almost hurts—and when I heard it live, it gave me goosebumps.

I was struck to the core, thinking, can a single guitar express something this sorrowful?

Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi – Kizuna (Bond)

Isn’t this the most rock-influenced song in Tsuyoshi’s entire career? When I first heard it, I was blown away, and I was instantly captivated by the lyrics, packed with powerful, straightforward words just as they are! And that opening—what an incredibly cool way to start a song…

Song of the Old Man of Nishi-ShinjukuNagabuchi Tsuyoshi61rank/position

Song of the Old Man of Nishi-Shinjuku

This is a deeply human song that portrays the life of a bar owner in Nishi-Shinjuku—awkward in some ways, yet unwavering in his principles.

The father’s oft-repeated catchphrase may inspire some listeners to live fully in the present so they won’t look back with regret.

Released on the August 1990 album “JEEP,” the track was also used as an insert song in the drama “From the North Country ’92: Departure.” For those standing at a crossroads in life or hesitating before a new challenge, it carries a warm yet powerful message that gently, firmly nudges you forward.

For men, this rugged worldview might really hit home.

Give it a listen!

Rainy ArashiyamaNagabuchi Tsuyoshi63rank/position

Arashiyama in the Rain (Cover, Audio: Live Guitar + Programming)

Released in 1977 as Nagabuchi’s debut single, this song was reportedly at odds with his own feelings.

Since he was initially set to be marketed under the name “Nagabuchi Go” in the enka/pop ballad style, he returned to his hometown once and effectively made his debut a second time.
