May Wind part II

This is the kind of track you’ll want to listen to in that season when you feel like heading out for a drive with a refreshing breeze on your face.

Featured on Takuro Yoshida’s concept mini-album “Radio no Yume,” released in November 2024, this piece is actually a song he originally co-wrote with Kazuhiko Kato in 1993, which he newly re-composed himself and recorded.

The band sound crafted by Satoshi Takebe is wonderfully comfortable, and it conveys a palpable sense of adult innocence and wistfulness.

Its worldview—where past quarrels fade away like a heat haze—will undoubtedly resonate deeply with listeners who have lived through many chapters of life.

How about taking a ride through fresh greenery while letting your mind wander to nostalgic memories? It’s a warm, highly recommended song that feels like a gift for everyone who loves radio.

Humans, you know…

This work offers an experience that overwhelms you with the tremendous energy of repeated words.

It’s the opening track of the album “Ningen Nante,” released in November 1971, and is known as one of Takuro Yoshida’s signature numbers.

It began as a short, stripped-down performance, but became legendary through live shows.

At the 3rd All Japan Folk Jamboree in August 1971, he kept singing through serious sound troubles, and the entire venue was swept into a frenzy.

In 1991, MICA covered the song, and it gained attention as the tune for the “Torabayu” TV commercial.

It’s a track you should listen to on nights when you want to get fired up without overthinking, or when you want to awaken emotions deep inside your heart.

This is a live video of their signature song, Kusa Zoshi.

The way he plays the guitar is striking, as if Eric Clapton has possessed him; that alone makes it worth watching.

It’s a recommended song and video that adults can listen to with peace of mind.

My Path

The straight, powerful classic “Boku no Michi” (“My Path”).

As the title suggests, it’s filled with the resolve to “live your own way,” “not be swayed by others,” and “keep moving forward,” expressing a distinctly masculine outlook on life.

It’s also recommended for when you want to switch your mindset or when you’re feeling down—the key is believing in your own path.

The vocal range isn’t high, so many people should find it easy to sing.

And since it’s a bit long at around six minutes, don’t go all-out from the start—pace yourself to keep balance to the end.

If you project your voice at the key moments, you’ll add contrast and keep the song engaging without letting listeners lose interest.

This song was written as the theme for the TV show “LOVE LOVE Aishiteru” and has continued to be widely loved.

Born from a collaboration with KinKi Kids, it features warm lyrics about embracing everything about the one you love, which really resonates.

Its easy-to-remember melody and clap-along rhythm feel great, making it a lively pop number that brings the whole venue together at concerts.

It was included on the album “Minna Daisuki,” released in November 1997, and in July 1998 KinKi Kids released it as a single, which became a million seller.

Originating from a TV show project and spreading from there, it’s a masterpiece whose different versions remain vivid in many people’s memories.

It’s the perfect song to lift your spirits when you’re feeling down, or to sing joyfully with friends at karaoke.
