Blues of a blue compositionOzawa Kenji21rank/position

Kenji Ozawa “Blues of the Blue Composition”

It’s included as the first track on the 1996 release “Music Played by Spheres.” The beautiful piano is striking.

The song features characteristically beautiful lyrics by Kenji Ozawa and makes you want to visit Onomichi, which appears in the lyrics.

His sweet singing voice pairs well with jazz.

Hotel and StormOzawa Kenji22rank/position

Kenji Ozawa – Hotel and Storm

It’s included on the 1996 release “Music Played by Spheres.” It has a completely different vibe from the previous album “LIFE,” with arrangements that feel almost jazzy.

No matter how many years have passed since its release, it’s still a stylish and truly wonderful song.

The horn arrangements and the piano are lovely as well.

Roller Skating ParkOzawa Kenji23rank/position

Kenji Ozawa – Roller Skate Park / Let the Sunflowers Sway

It’s a fan-favorite song from the 1993 album “The Dog Barks, but the Caravan Moves On.” It’s also included in the 2012 collection “We, Time,” which pairs a book with a live album.

The rhythm is very pleasant.

Boogie Back Tonight (“DISCO TO GO” LIVE) featuring Scha Dara ParrOzawa Kenji24rank/position

Kenji Ozawa “Boogie Back Tonight” (“DISCO TO GO” LIVE) featuring Scha Dara Parr

It’s a song from quite a while back, but at a time when people hardly knew anything about hip-hop, it became a huge hit because it was so easy to listen to.

I’m listing this track as evidence that hip-hop culture had taken root in Japan.

It’s a classic that was later covered by numerous artists.

If a dream is a dreamOzawa Kenji25rank/position

Kenji Ozawa – If Dreams Are Dreams

It’s a slightly arranged version of the “Diamond Suite,” released in 1996.

In the music video, Kenji Ozawa is shown taking a leisurely stroll through beautiful Kyoto.

It’s a lovely song whose lyrics depict beautiful nature and the seasons.

When you become an adultOzawa Kenji26rank/position

Kenji Ozawa - When You Become an Adult .flv

It’s an ambitious work that blends piano and a rap-style delivery with guitar music.

If someone who isn’t well-versed in music heard a piece like this for the first time, they would surely be amazed by the talent and refined taste.

Back then, he often appeared on the covers of Japanese music magazines—it was all about Kenji Ozawa.

I miss youOzawa Kenji27rank/position

Kenji Ozawa - Longing

It’s included on the 1997 single “Buddy.” Like “Buddy,” it’s a song you’ll want to listen to in the summer.

The lyrics feature Ozawa Kenji’s characteristic themes like “light” and “magic,” and it’s a moving piece that paints vivid scenes in your mind.

Love really is, after all,Ozawa Kenji28rank/position

Kenji Ozawa “Love, After All”

A love song full of happiness that couples often listened to when it was a hit—and one I can still recommend today.

It opens with a light, breezy intro and sings about the beauty of a future of love and marriage, making it a popular choice as a wedding song.

beautyOzawa Kenji29rank/position

Kenji Ozawa “Beauty” (I Can’t Say Goodbye – Slow Arrangement)

This is a jazz arrangement of “Sayonara Nante Ienai yo,” released in 1995.

The original’s pop feel is great, but this jazz version makes the lyrics sink in more deeply.

“Sayonara Nante Ienai yo” is also one of Tamori’s favorite songs.

muskOzawa Kenji30rank/position

Ozawa Kenji Eclectic: 'Musk' and 'Storm'

This track is included on their fourth album, Eclectic, released in 2002.

The first thing that stands out is the hard-to-read title—it’s pronounced “Jakou,” referring to a traditional fragrance also known as musk.

From the sound and vocals, it seems to convey an overall mysterious atmosphere.

If you focus on the bass, it becomes clear: it repeatedly plays essentially the same motif, and the song’s structure is built by increasing and decreasing the number of instruments sounding—a fascinating approach.

Perhaps the sense of eeriness comes from the mechanical elements woven into the track.
