Count to tenTakehara Pisutoru11rank/position

Count 10 (Pistol Takehara)

A song whose persuasiveness comes precisely because it’s by Pistol Takehara, who clawed his way up to the majors.

You keep taking things head-on and trying again and again, only to fail… If days like that continue, anyone would feel close to breaking.

Drawing on his own experience with boxing, Takehara likens it to a fight against oneself.

When you’re knocked down, others do the counting for a while—but only at ten do you decide for yourself to stand up.

Listening to Pistol Takehara’s powerful singing makes you want to believe in that strength within you.

You’ll be fine—let’s expand the possibilities within ourselves!

Ah. There are moments that pass in a flash (acoustic version)

This is a comedic commercial portraying office worker Hajime Ueda, played by Eita Nagayama, going to the gym, and from there conveying the relationship between Vitality and adidas.

Upon arriving at the gym, Ueda changes into adidas gear, and the surprise of him being in head-to-toe adidas is narrated by regular gym-goer Shohei Nagata.

The reason is that with Vitality, you can get adidas at special prices, effectively highlighting the value of Vitality.

Further amplifying the lively mood of the footage is Pistol Takehara’s song “Ah.

There Are Moments That Fly By.” Its light sound paired with a powerful vocal gives a sense of forward momentum.

It seems this song was born from a series of misfortunes that happened around Pistols Takehara himself.

His true forte lies in weaving sadness into humor, drawing listeners into a unique world that makes them laugh and cry.

At first it makes you think, “Is this a funny song?” but it goes on to sing about a very sorrowful, hopeless absurdity.

Takeyama Pistol – ON THE ROAD (Live Short Ver.)

A man admired by men: Pistol Takehara.

With just a guitar, the way he sings so passionately is incredibly powerful and cool.

I can’t help but think how amazing it would feel to belt out his songs like that.

Even without a deep voice like his, if you sing with feeling, I’m sure you can deliver a great song!

Takahara Pistol – RAIN (Short Ver.)

Takahara Pistol, whose soulful singing captivates many, is best known for his rain-themed song “RAIN.” It’s an acoustic, solo performance included on the album “BEST BOUT.” The lyrics liken life’s hardships and sorrows to rain.

They also depict someone who keeps moving forward without worrying about the rain, and who realizes it’s impossible to stay completely dry no matter what you do.

If you listen while reflecting on your own life, it’s sure to hit you right in the heart.

You’re a grown adult already.Takehara Pisutoru16rank/position

Takahara Pistol, you're a grown adult now, aren't you?

The album is titled Flowers of Reconstruction 2.

It’s our fourth full-length album.

Whether it makes you reminisce about being 35 or smirk wryly, if, when you turn 35, you become someone who can listen to this and be moved to tears, then you’ve truly become a mature adult.

Also, this is a cheer song, so please let it be a track that encourages a heart that’s grown a little weary.

Amazing GraceTakehara Pisutoru17rank/position

Amazing Grace Takahara Pistol

Contrary to his somewhat rugged image, Takahara Pistol moves people with his very delicate singing.

His Amazing Grace speaks directly to those who are fighting their reality right now, which is why I think it resonates so deeply with listeners’ hearts.

Pistol Takehara “One Night” Lyric Video

Takihara Pistol’s song stirs a deep emotion.

I’m captivated by the words that paint the scene of a night spent at a bar.

Released in July 2024, it was also chosen as the theme song for TV Asahi’s drama special “Black Jack.” The lyrics, tinged with the regret of not realizing the truth, quietly seep into the heart.

It’s a work so characteristic of Takehara, carefully picking up the small feelings found in everyday life.

Listening to it might remind you of friends you haven’t seen lately.

It’s a perfect track for sleepless nights—or nights when you mustn’t fall asleep.

From Father to Daughter ~A Letter from a Saya Samurai~Takehara Pisutoru19rank/position

From Father to Daughter ~ Letter of the Scabbard Samurai ~ full

The theme song of the film “Saya Zamurai,” in which Pistol Takehara himself also appears.

As the title suggests, it’s a message from a father to his daughter.

Some listeners may find themselves in tears at this story of a strong bond in which the two have supported each other.

Takehara Pistol’s warm singing voice is also deeply moving.

TOKIOTakehara Pisutoru20rank/position

In a commercial featuring track and field star Usain Bolt that aired in 2016, the song used was “TOKIO,” a signature hit by Kenji Sawada released in 1980.

However, the vocalist isn’t Kenji Sawada—it’s singer-songwriter Pistol Takehara.

In contrast to Sawada’s voice, which exudes a suave masculine allure, Takehara’s intensely rugged, passionate vocals are his greatest appeal.

When the performing artist changes, the atmosphere of the song can sound quite different, can’t it?
