Freezing Point

Hailing from Asahikawa, Hokkaido, Koji Tamaki—active both as the vocalist of Anzen Chitai and as a solo artist—released his third single, “Hyoten,” in 1989.

The song was used as the theme for the TV drama adaptation of Ayako Miura’s novel Hyoten.

Its quiet melody, like droplets falling from icicles, matches the scenery of the Foreign Tree Species Forest in Asahikawa, the story’s setting, and its simple yet profound lyrics capture the novel’s worldview.

It’s a perfect song for Hokkaido’s piercing, biting cold.

Koji Tamaki 玉置浩二 Rookie

This song carries a message of encouragement, standing by those on the verge of losing heart and rousing the courage to move forward.

It’s said to have been composed with an image of Yoshinobu Takahashi, who was then a rookie shining with the Yomiuri Giants.

The blend of light, buoyant sound and uplifting words leaves a strong impression, gently reminding us that it’s important to keep a sense of enjoyment in any situation.

Its smooth melodic line makes it easy to sing, and I recommend riding the breezy rhythm and letting a cheerful feeling carry your performance.

Mika Nakashima “Hanataba” Music Video — Theme song for Fuji TV’s Thursday drama “Otona Joshi.”

It’s the theme song of the Fuji TV drama “Otona Joshi,” sung by Mika Nakashima.

Koji Tamaki himself also performs it at concerts, and the opening part is a cappella in a high register, making it difficult to catch the pitch.

The lyrics, which express joy and gratitude for the simple, everyday life we have now, have moved both listeners and performers.

A gem of a song whose deep, rugged vocals by Koji Tamaki and Ayaka’s gently enveloping voice resonate through your whole body, gradually warming even the deepest places in your heart.

The lyrics, which strikingly depict swearing eternal love to a precious person and then setting off toward the sky, are memorable.

While the heartfelt words are wonderful, the real highlight is the collaboration between the two vocal powerhouses, Koji Tamaki and Ayaka.

As you listen to their voices—combining strength with delicacy—you’ll feel the weight of sorrow in your heart gently lift.

Yosui Inoue × Koji Tamaki - Harmony at Summer’s End

When it comes to harmony songs by a male duo, isn’t Yosui Inoue and Koji Tamaki’s “Harmony at the End of Summer” the quintessential example? There are many acoustic performances out there, but the a cappella and orchestral versions are both stunning as well.

They really highlight the beauty of the piece.

Koji Tamaki Roman

Koji Tamaki, the vocalist of Anzen Chitai.

He’s also an artist who has been highly active as a solo performer.

His greatest appeal, above all, lies in his distinctive, resonant voice.

This song, “Roman,” is a work where his individuality truly explodes.

While it maintains a calm melody throughout, there are standout moments placed at key points.

It’s the kind of song that still sounds good even when sung loosely, so definitely give it a try! There aren’t many high notes either, making it very easy to sing.

Mr. SunTamaki Kōji17rank/position

Mr. Sun (LIVE 2015 Asahikawa)

This song gently sings of feelings directed toward the sun that is always shining on us.

It’s included as the opening track on the 1997 album “JUNK LAND.” The simple sound of percussion and acoustic guitar highlights the message of the lyrics and the vocals.

The way the words are packed in and the way the line endings are delivered is distinctive, but overall the vocal style is more of a level, conversational melody with little dramatic rise and fall.

Imagining yourself casting your feelings out into the distance may make it easier to sing.
