It Was All a Lie / Kazuyoshi Saito YouTube Version (with lyrics)

This is an anti-nuclear song in which singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito rewrote the lyrics to his own track “Zutto Suki Datta” (“I’ve Always Loved You”).

It delivers a biting message satirizing the nuclear accident from the Great East Japan Earthquake and the government’s response.

I’m astonished that Kazuyoshi Saito chose to film and distribute this piece on his own initiative.

Hello, heartless oneSaitō Kazuyoshi73rank/position

Kazuyoshi Saito – Hey, Heartless [Music Video Short ver.]

Kazuyoshi Saito is one of Japan’s leading singer-songwriters.

His song “Yaa, Mujou” (Hey, Impermanence) conveys his distinctive nihilism hinted at by the title, yet also a kindness that goes beyond it.

By accepting the emptiness the word “mujou” (impermanence) carries, the song skillfully expresses the strength of a life that keeps moving forward nonetheless.

It’s a beautiful melody that works as background music, and it’s fantastic when you focus on the lyrics as well.

A four-and-a-half-minute song that works like a breath of fresh air in your daily life—add it to your playlist as a companion to your everyday routine.

Ballad of the SongstressSaitō Kazuyoshi74rank/position

Kazuyoshi Saito Utautai no Ballad White Falcon

I think the coolness of Kazuyoshi Saito singing in a sweet yet husky voice while plucking an electric guitar is the very definition of a true “songster.” This song, in which he gently sings about nostalgic memories of someone unforgettable, feels like it connects with the bittersweetness of summer’s end.

Don’t Worry, Be HappySaitō Kazuyoshi75rank/position

Kazuyoshi Saito / Don't Worry, Be Happy [PV]

A glam-rock-style number released in 2009 by Kazuyoshi Saito, who belts out adult-oriented rock.

It was featured in Pocari Sweat commercials for spots like “Spring Dryness” and “Laundry/Humidifier.” The relaxed tempo and lively mood feel great.

It blends a laid-back vibe with rock ’n’ roll, giving off that “things will work out” energy that really lifts you up! This “Don’t Worry Be Happy” has that same atmosphere.

Even the title’s simple “Don’t worry” feels so quintessentially Setchan.

In a modern world that never stops accelerating, it’s a lovely track that lets you breathe a little easier.

Line Dance “Let’s Walk Home”Saitō Kazuyoshi77rank/position

Noa Girls / Line Dance “Let’s Walk Home” (Performance by Parents)

As a performance, the popular dance “line dance.” While syncing the timing can be a bit tricky and requires practice, it’s a visually appealing dance even without difficult moves, so anyone can enjoy taking it on as a casual entertainment.

Dancing in kids’ costumes would likely be a hit, too!

Our CircusSaitō Kazuyoshi78rank/position

Our Circus

This commercial uses a gentle animation depicting scenic drives to show how ENEOS supports a wide range of drivers.

Alongside conveying the joy of driving, it introduces EneKey and speaks to how easy and convenient it is to use.

The relaxed mood expressed in the visuals is further enhanced by Kazuyoshi Saito’s song “Oretachi no Circus.” Its light rhythm, featuring acoustic guitar, is memorable, and the soft vocals also convey a sense of relaxation.

Angel’s catSaitō Kazuyoshi79rank/position

Angel's cat

This is a bittersweet ballad that overlays the image of a stray cat living resiliently in a corner of the city with the instincts and freedom we’d forgotten in ourselves.

Featured on singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito’s album “Kazuyoshi,” released in October 2013, this piece was co-written with bassist Hiroo Yamaguchi.

Its lyrical, beautiful melody quietly yet deeply resonates with listeners.

When your heart feels a little weary from busy days, this song has a mysterious power that makes you want to pause and look up at the wide sky.

Some may even be moved to tears by its warm worldview, as if gently guided by a cat.

On a quiet night when you want to regain your true self, why not listen to it slowly and carefully?

Because it’s a cold winterSaitō Kazuyoshi80rank/position

Because It's a Cold Winter by Kazuyoshi Saito

How about a slightly jazzy tune for an adult Christmas? It’s a cool track featuring Kazuyoshi Saito’s sultry acoustic guitar playing and vocals.

It has a mature flavor that you might not fully appreciate when you’re younger, and the witty lyrics make it all the more charming.

It’s a song that lets you enjoy a stylish mood, a little different from your usual Christmas.
