Rekishi’s Greatest and Popular Songs (11–20)

From hunting to rice cultivationrekishi

From Hunting to Rice Cultivation / Rekishi (with Lyrics)
From hunting to rice cultivationrekishi

A song where history and music blend, themed around the transition from the Jomon period to the Yayoi period.

It depicts changes in ancient Japanese lifestyles, singing about the shift from hunting and gathering to rice cultivation.

An interesting point is how it symbolically portrays the transition of eras through romance.

Included on the album “Rekitsu,” released in March 2011, the track was also chosen as the theme song for the 2020 film Crayon Shin-chan.

At live shows, the sight of the audience waving rice stalks is particularly memorable.

It’s recommended not only for history enthusiasts but also for anyone looking for a song that portrays romance from a unique perspective.

LOVE Rekishirekishi

It’s a Rekishi live show.

I really want to go—his back-and-forth with the audience looks so much fun.

And I think it’s incredibly cool that someone so talented and skilled throws themselves wholeheartedly into this silly kind of play.

I can’t get enough of his voice.

A Tale of Somehow Moving the Capitalrekishi

Dogenka Capital Relocation Story (MUSIC VIDEO)
A Tale of Somehow Moving the Capitalrekishi

A mellow, old-school disco vibe that makes you want to sway.

Rekishi’s falsetto is truly pleasant to listen to.

It’s really hard to sing at karaoke.

Falsetto is tough to pull off unless you’re a really good singer.

Hey, Badiarekishi

Negicco “Hey, Badia” MV
Hey, Badiarekishi

A song provided by Rekishi for Negicco, a three-member idol unit based in Niigata.

It’s finished with a groove that’s a bit characteristic of Rekishi.

He’s really good at making upbeat, catchy tracks.

The intentionally cheap-sounding drums are a nice touch.

Let’s go to the kofun!rekishi

As you can guess from the title, it’s a song themed around ancient burial mounds (kofun).

It’s another dance tune that seems influenced by old disco songs.

It would be perfect as a theme song for Saga Prefecture, which has many kofun.

The musical style feels quite similar to Dance Man.

Yuko Ando / Apple Murder Case (feat. Takafumi Ikeda)rekishi

This is a collaborative track by Rekishi and Yuko Ando.

It’s that super-famous song once sung by Hiromi Go and Kiki Kirin back in the day.

The tune is now even more upbeat—a dance number that makes you move without thinking.

This duo is a perfect match.

Sanada Memorial Dayrekishi

I mean, not just probably—I’m sure the title “Sanada Memorial Day” is a play on “Salad Memorial Day.” The guest is Kazuyoshi Nakamura from 100s.

His high-tone vocals, combined with the echoing effect, give it a really nice finish.
