Masayoshi Yamazaki Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

A Picnic with YouYamazaki Masayoshi41rank/position

Kimito Picnic

A song by Masayoshi Yamazaki whose soothing slide guitar tones and rhythmic wordplay are a delight to the ear.

Rather than chasing the meaning, the lyrics make you want to surrender to the flow of sounds—light and buoyant, like footsteps on the way to a picnic, lifting your spirits as you listen.

This track opens the album “Atelier,” released in June 2003.

Its charm lies in the handcrafted feel of the sound that Yamazaki reportedly built over about half a year in his home studio.

The acoustic groove of this piece heightens that sense of freedom you feel under a blue sky.

It’s a refreshing song you’ll want to play out in nature, favorite sandwich in hand.

Recollection TrainYamazaki Masayoshi43rank/position

Kaisou Densha

This is a song written by Masayoshi Yamazaki, a singer-songwriter who also works as an actor, for Kintetsu (Kinki Nippon Railway)’s commercial “The Ise-Shima You’ll Want to Talk About.” He himself appeared in the ad.

Inspired by a pilgrimage to Ise Jingu, the guitar and percussion rhythms pleasantly evoke the sound of trains like the limited express Shimakaze rolling along the tracks.

The gentle lyrics, which can also be read as a metaphor for life, soothe minds and bodies worn out by the day-to-day.

With its laid-back mood, it’s a perfect number to soundtrack an autumn trip.

A town with sloping streets

This song is said to be about the time when Masayoshi Yamazaki moved to Yokohama right after coming up to Tokyo.

Since it’s from before he became popular, I feel the lyrics are very real and relatable.

Listening to this song, performed with just a single guitar, makes me feel somehow very nostalgic.

It earnestly sings about everyday feelings, like reading aloud from a diary.

Thinking that even people who’ve become big and famous had times like this makes me feel a bit relieved.

Summer MonologueYamazaki Masayoshi45rank/position

New York: A Summer Monologue

The words I left behind at summer’s end have become memories that still continue even now, and the line about the one I loved “hiding their tears” may be because we were caring for each other.

Still, the part that says “I never managed to say what mattered most,” even after time has passed, is that one phrase you only realize after losing it… surely words of love.
