Hanawa Sekitori “Not Bad” MUSIC VIDEO

Hana Sekitori is a female singer-songwriter who’s gaining popularity for her emotionally resonant musicality.

Her voice is perfectly described as rounded and warm, and you can always hear the emotion in her slightly lower-range vocals.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Warukunai (“Not Bad”).

It has a style reminiscent of Miyuki Nakajima, and from the verse to the chorus you’ll find richly textured mid-to-low register phrases in every part.

The vocal line is very simple, so it’s also easy to sing, making it an easy recommendation.

Take Me Out To The Ball Game | Kids Songs | Super Simple Songs

In the Spacia commercial “The Family: Ukulele by the Seaside/Evening” featuring Mana Ashida, Kokoro Terada, Jiro Sato, and Noriko Nakagoshi as a family, the song playing is a parody of the well-known Major League Baseball tune “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” covered by singer-songwriter Hana Sekitori.

In the original, the Japanese title “Watashi o Yakyū ni Tsurete tte” (Take Me Out to the Ball Game) directly expresses the protagonist’s feelings in the lyrics.

Mirroring that, the commercial’s version conveys the sentiment, “Let’s ride in the Spacia and go to all kinds of places.” It’s a song that stirs the excitement of going out by car, with lines like “Where should we go next?” and “I’m looking forward to going there today.”

Take Me Out to the Ball Game (parody lyrics)Sekitori Hana11rank/position

Take Me Out To The Ball Game – Take me to baseball – Lyrics – Japanese translated lyrics – Japanese translation

This commercial features a session of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” a song widely known as a Major League Baseball anthem.

As Mana Ashida plays the ukulele, Jiro Sato joins in on the saxophone.

Combined with the expansive seaside scenery, the spot gives off a cheerful, upbeat vibe.

Since it’s a commercial for the Spacia, a kei car that families can ride in, it naturally conveys a sense of family closeness.

Noriko Nakagoshi plays the mother, and Kokoro Terada plays the younger brother.

Also, in the latter half of the commercial, the person singing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” is Hana Sekitori.

Anoko wa iina

“That Girl Seems Nice,” included on the 2018 full-length album “So It Won’t End Up Just a Memory.” The recorder’s catchy, hum-along rhythm is striking.

Like a “jealousy song” in the vein of “Betsuni,” but from a different angle.

It seems to sing of envy toward someone who has what you don’t, yet within it you can feel a love for humanity.

There’s a softness—an openness to learning about different things and growing fond of them—and it’s a track packed with the unique charm and warmth that only Hana Sekitori can deliver.

Kingyono Yume

The song “Kingyo no Yume” was released in August 2021.

With its acoustic guitar melody and Hanaseki Hana’s relaxed vocals, it wraps you in a soothing feeling, as if you’re gently floating.

Sung from a goldfish’s perspective, it expresses a longing for the outside world.

Inspired by noticing Kuniko Mukōda’s book of the same title, the piece resonates with the constrained life during the COVID-19 pandemic and, more broadly, with the sense of not seeing a clear direction.

Listen for the immediacy that only a one-take recording can deliver.

separation; being apart; partedSekitori Hana14rank/position

Hanarebanare

A track pre-released from the March 2021 album “New Flowers.” It’s a bittersweet yet hopeful pop tune that reflects on parting ways with friends setting off on different paths.

The farewell scene set on a train will resonate even more with those who’ve had similar experiences.

While carrying a sense of loneliness, the glittering tones of instruments like flute and cello evoke a feeling of encouragement.

The outro’s ascending development feels like it paints a bright future ahead, making your heart swell.
