On the Footbridge by Takuro Yoshida

The intro felt more like enka than folk, which was an unexpected twist.

Since it’s a studio take video, the sound quality is excellent and it’s very satisfying to listen to.

With Takuro Yoshida, there’s always a certain level of quality, so you can feel at ease no matter the song or the venue.

Setting Sun - Takuro Yoshida

It’s one of Takuro Yoshida’s signature songs, contrasting the image of contemplating life’s long journey with the scenery of the sun setting on the horizon.

It’s also memorable for its many arrangements, including the version used as the theme song for the drama “Ano Natsu ni Dakaretai.” The lyrics, written by Osami Okamoto, are said to be based on his real experiences, and you can feel the authenticity that comes from scenes he actually witnessed.

The gentle, deliberate delivery makes it easy to sing, and it’s important to cherish the words and perform them with care.

After the Festivalyoshida takurou25rank/position

After the Festival - Takuro Yoshida (Yoshida Takuro)

This song sings about the loneliness and emptiness that arrive after a big wave of excitement—a kind of festival—has ended.

It was included on the 1972 album “Genki Desu,” and later appeared as the B-side to the single “Rakuyō.” It’s often described as depicting the atmosphere after the decline of the student movement, evoking an image of turning inward and facing one’s own heart precisely because the major upheaval has passed.

To convey the passage of time and emphasize the loneliness, the key is to sing in a relaxed manner.

With a gentle tempo and a conversational feel, it should be a relatively approachable song to perform.

And yet, my life

This is a rare video that includes a blues harp.

The blues harp is an essential item for folksingers, so it’s surprising there hadn’t been one until this video.

Also, since it’s the young Takuro Yoshida, his long hair gives it a nostalgic feel.

Whenever I arrive, it’s always raining.

With lyrics that convey a mature sense of melancholy and life experience, this song will likely resonate especially with older listeners and male vocalists.

The track itself is under three minutes and on the shorter side, but it gradually builds toward the latter half as the chorus comes in, lifting your spirits.

The overall tone is on the brighter side, so raising your facial muscles and eyebrows while singing makes it easier to hit the pitches and switch smoothly into falsetto.

Another key point is to respect the phrasing—sing each phrase carefully and keep the separations clear.

Don’t force it; relax your shoulders and sing as if you’re speaking.

Takuro Yoshida Might Make It in Time 1992

It’s probably a studio take video from the included DVD.

Only Takuro Yoshida appears on screen, passionately singing with a guitar in hand.

Because of that, there’s nothing extraneous—just the strength of the song itself—which is the appeal.

It’s aimed at fans, but it’s worth it.
