A Nighttime EncounterIshihara Yūjirō / Yashiro Aki

A duet song by Yujiro Ishihara and Aki Yashiro.

Yujiro Ishihara’s low, gentle voice captivated many women.

It’s a song you can sing with full mood, and the chorus really soars, so both the singer and the listeners will likely feel a sense of nostalgia.

It lifts your spirits—definitely a song worth remembering.

Listen to it over and over until you’ve learned it, and be sure to perform it confidently in front of everyone!

As expected of Aki Yashiro, who can master not only enka but also jazz—she’s remarkable.

The stylish tone of the trumpet and her quietly conversational yet powerful singing are truly compelling.

But when I think of Aki Yashiro singing, for some reason I picture a hotel at Tokyo Station rather than New York or Chicago.

She sings about the superficial human world from the perspective of an alien.

Hometown... Aki Yashiro

Aki Yashiro’s enka song “To My Hometown…” is a heartrending piece about the inner struggle of recalling a hometown’s sorrowful past.

The lyrics, which express the idea of “finding the strength to live by holding onto the hope of returning home, even in hard times,” will likely resonate with those working hard in the city while dreaming of someday going back.

In particular, the song is written from a woman’s perspective, so I especially recommend it to female listeners.

Yashiro’s sorrowful yet somehow gentle voice may just move you to tears.
