Carol, the daughter of the coffee shop owner

The song “Coffee Shop Girl,” included on the self-cover album TEN YEARS AGO produced to commemorate the 10th anniversary of his solo debut.

Originally from his days with the band Carol, it features lyrical guitar phrases and a relaxed, comfortable shuffle beat.

With a low key and a narrow vocal range, it’s easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident in their vocals.

In addition, its leisurely tempo and short length make it an easy number to try at karaoke.

Awesome Rock You!Yazawa Eikichi84rank/position

Awesome 'Rock You'! / From the new album 'TWIST'

The moment the intro guitar riff rings out, it blows away the dullness of everyday life—an exhilarating rock number.

This track opens the album “TWIST,” released in June 2010, and was also used in a commercial for Lotte’s “Xylitol Gum.” The protagonist taunts an unmotivated opponent and confidently declares they’ll show their very best.

That straightforward, powerful message stirs up excitement as if your soul were being shaken directly at a live show.

When you feel stuck, listening to this song might make you feel like, “I’ve still got more in me,” giving you a push forward.

Eikichi Yazawa “Ibasho” 2007 ver. Guitar Cover

The song “Ibasho,” included on ONLY ONE, the 29th album whose release also drew attention for its remix edition issued on July 6, 2011.

Its lyrics tell a story of needing nothing as long as you’re with someone precious, and together with a cool, saxophone‑featured ensemble, they really move the heart.

There are many challenging parts—such as the sudden leaps into high notes that are very characteristic of Eikichi Yazawa—but because the melody doesn’t move around much, it’s actually quite singable.

If the key doesn’t suit your voice, try setting your karaoke machine to match the higher notes.

Time, stand still — Eikichi Yazawa

Mr.

Rockstar, Eikichi Yazawa.

Used in a commercial, it became a hot topic, turned into a massive hit, and stands as one of his top-selling songs—a classic of summer.

In any case, it’s smoky.

Cool.

Recently, he performed an acoustic version live, and that, too, had a mature appeal.

No matter how old you get, people who are cool stay cool—always.

Set to a thrilling guitar riff, this is a classic by Eikichi Yazawa that cries out a thirst for freedom.

Released as a single in July 1984, it was also included on the masterpiece album “E’” released the same year.

Long Journey – Eikichi YazawaNagai Tabi – E. Yazawa

A song released in 1978.

Lyrics by Keisuke Yamakawa, music by Eikichi Yazawa.

It appears at the end of the album Gold Rush, which includes the track “Jikan yo Tomare.” Even if you’re not a Yazawa fan, it’s a love song you’ll want to use at a wedding.

It would be the ultimate happiness to have the groom sing a song like this.

You can feel the love at maximum intensity.

Although Mr.

Yazawa is strongly associated with rock, his smooth and sexy ballads are really cool too.
