tremolo

If you want to make a moist, mature ballad your own, this is the song for you.

Tremolo is a track from the twelfth album, I ♥ ME, released in 2007.

It’s a heartfelt love song that pairs gently swaying guitar sounds with Saito’s tender vocals, drawing you in with its clear, transparent atmosphere.

As it’s a ballad, the melody is, of course, on the relaxed side.

You should be able to sing it calmly while seated.

I look up as I walk

This commercial promotes the refreshing taste of Suntory Draft Beer through the presence of Yumi Kawai.

The key point is that she’s drinking under a vast blue sky, and because the visuals are predominantly blue, the sense of freshness comes across strongly.

Her gentle smile also conveys the impression that the flavor supports a feeling of fulfillment.

Enhancing the calm atmosphere depicted in the visuals is the song “Ue o Muite Arukou,” performed by Kazuyoshi Saito.

The vocals flow gently over a relaxed rhythm, evoking a sense of ease throughout.

Kazuyoshi Saito — Where Shall We Go

A philosophical song that seems to say it all in the very first line: “We think about where we’re headed tomorrow.” Then, in the second line, “More than that, let’s enjoy tonight more than anyone,” it immediately spoils that mood—in a way that feels very much like Secchan, I suppose (lol).

And even after enjoying tonight more than anyone, we still end up thinking about where we’re headed tomorrow—and we end up forgetting it, too.

Kazuyoshi Saito – Dramatic Moment [Music Video Short ver.]

Judging from the title, it’s dramatic, and the tone of the song is dramatic and serious as well.

From the lyrics, it seems the “dramatic moment” might be when the singer thinks, “I realized I’m not alone.” But in the latter half, there’s the line, “Don’t let this feeling change; don’t let it change again so soon.” It makes me wonder whether the “moment when this feeling changes again so soon” is, in fact, the dramatic moment.

Kazuyoshi Saito - She (Acoustic Version) Cover

The sense of loss that accompanies heartbreak is an almost universally human emotion, and when you add a man’s clinging regret to it, the output tends to be nothing but pathetic.

But that’s where Kazuyoshi Saito is different.

By using the moon—often considered a symbol of madness—as a motif, he turns it into a magnificent work of lyrical poetry, elevating it into art; it’s nothing short of a divine song.

In particular, the bridge line “I can’t hear the goodbye from that day” is a stunning turn that gives you goosebumps, evoking a kind of catharsis in anyone, regardless of gender.

Kazuyoshi Saito – Tomorrow, my favorite rock ’n’ roll band is coming to this town / THE FIRST TAKE powered by ASAHI SUPER DRY

Singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito, who has released numerous timeless hit tunes such as “Aruite Kaerou” and “Utautai no Ballad,” has penned a new song for Asahi Super Dry × THE FIRST TAKE collaboration web commercial Vol.

3, titled “Tension & Release: Kazuyoshi Saito.” The track, “Ashita Daisuki na Rock ’n’ Roll Band ga Kono Machi ni Yattekurunda” (“Tomorrow, My Favorite Rock ’n’ Roll Band Is Coming to This Town”), features a funky ensemble that really sticks in your ears.

The way he downs a beer after the recording may make even those who don’t drink think it looks delicious.

It’s an emotional CM song where his smoky vocals resonate with the beer’s bittersweet taste.

Red SunflowerSaitō Kazuyoshi37rank/position

Red Sunflower

A bluesy sound arrangement and a weathered, forlorn vocal tone are a perfect match.

This is “Akai Himawari” (Red Sunflower), included on their eighth album, 35 STONES, released in 2002.

The lyrics, which seem to take a somewhat cynical look at a single woman, feel a bit downbeat, yet they also jolt you with glimpses of humanity and truth.

It’s precisely because of the languid vocal delivery that you end up perceiving the song that way, I suppose.

If you’re going to sing it, by all means try mimicking this singing style.

Heredity

This work is recommended for high school students who want to fire themselves up with a robust rock sound.

It’s a single by singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito, released in February 2017.

It’s also known for being written as the theme song for the TBS drama “Gekokujō Juken.” The lyrics confront inescapable realities—like what we inherit from our parents and the environments we’re born into—while still expressing the will to move forward, which should resonate deeply with anyone feeling pressure from exams or club activities.

Its powerful melody, blending rock and folk, offers a gritty yet warm encouragement that’s more than just pretty words.
