Ringo / Takuro Yoshida ’88 Live at POWER STATION

This is a video from a 1988 live performance.

It seems the song has a live-specific arrangement, and the comments section is full of praise.

I’m not very familiar with this song, but even after just a few listens, its appeal comes through—it’s a simple, powerful track.

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.

Hold me tight, all of me

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.

Embrace Everything 2005 Version

It’s a song that was performed on a Kinki Kids show, and Kinki also sang it, but when you hear it in Takuro Yoshida’s signature style, it feels much more fitting.

It’s a song that really suits being sung with lots of people.

When you can embrace everything and walk with someone special, everyone sings it with energy.

Uniform Takuro

This is a famous song by Takuro Yoshida that sings of the hopes and bittersweet sorrow of young people who moved to Tokyo from rural areas through group employment.

It’s a track included on his album “Kusazoshi,” released in June 1973.

Lyricist Osami Okamoto’s story, which begins in the bustle of Tokyo Station, is breathtaking.

The narrator’s perspective moves through the past and future of girls in their school uniforms: family evenings back home, loneliness in the big city, and days spent clutching a small paycheck while waiting for the weekend.

The way they end up hiding the harsh reality and telling little lies to their hometown is just so heartrending.
