The Star Where You Are - Keizo Nakanishi (English Lyrics)

This song, with its striking synth bass performance, is a love song about ultimate love.

It may sound clichéd, but love truly strengthens people and makes them want to protect the ones they cherish.

Meeting someone like that is, above all, something wonderfully beautiful.

And that is my pride.

Keizo Nakanishi “Next Dream”

It is included on the album Gene, released on July 30, 2003.

The album title Gene and this song’s title, Next Dream, feel very closely linked.

It’s a song that reflects what remains, what we leave behind, and the way I live and my attitude.

A Whiter Shade of PaleNakanishi Keizō10rank/position

Keizo Nakanishi – A Whiter Shade of Pale

A slightly bittersweet mid-tempo ballad that brings back old memories.

It’s included on the third album, “Steps,” released in 1993.

Have you ever found that visiting a special place makes memories resurface vividly? The fleeting, beautiful lyrics about a summer farewell and the train-like sound evoke that nostalgic feeling.

And yet, there’s something surprisingly forward-looking about it, too.

As times change, the familiar places we know change as well.

This is a song that makes you want to stop by a place full of memories for the first time in a while.

Keizo Nakanishi – Choo Choo TRAIN

Keizo Nakanishi composed “Choo Choo Train,” which became an even bigger hit after being covered by Zoo and EXILE, and along with “Timing,” it can be called one of his two explosive smash hits.

In Zoo’s version, he himself participated as a backing vocalist.

Not only is he a songwriter, but his vocal ability is outstanding, and he deserves greater recognition as an artist.

Keizo Nakanishi – WOMAN

Keizo Nakanishi’s biggest hit, “Woman,” was released in 1992.

Many people may also strongly associate it with the Camellia Diamond tie-in.

It’s an empowering song dedicated to women, with forward-looking lyrics and Nakanishi’s characteristically clear and warm vocals that resonate with the heart.

There are surely many moments when we hesitate to live honestly.

Especially for women, such situations can be particularly difficult, can’t they? This song stays close to those feelings and gives you the courage to take a step forward from the sense of hardship.

Keizo Nakanishi _ A.C.E.

It’s a song that I can’t help but be reminded of the Jackson 5’s “ABC”! You could even call it an homage.

Even if you try to imitate it, it’s usually hard to pull off, but with Keizo Nakanishi’s sense of rhythm and vocal ability, a song with this vibe can look so cool—so envy-inducing!

Precious LoveNakanishi Keizō14rank/position

Keizo Nakanishi - 02 - Precious Love (Live 1993)

“Precious” means valuable, expensive, and in this song it’s a love song to someone truly dear to the heart.

The vibe of the track is on the high-energy side, but within that, there’s a gentle, intimate kind of love.

It’s also a song where you can fully enjoy Keizo Nakanishi’s outstanding sense of groove.
