RomanceSuzuki Hiroshi
Hiroshi Suzuki is a trombonist who excels across a wide range of jazz styles—from modern to free—and is so highly regarded in the Japanese jazz scene that people say, “If you want a great performance, make sure you’ve got that trombone player.” Recorded while Suzuki, who had moved to the United States in the early ’70s, was briefly back in Japan, his album “Cat” is a classic beloved even by generations into rare groove.
Featuring members of the legendary jazz combo Freedom Unity, the album was recorded in 1975 and released the following year, 1976.
The tracks blend funky, soulful, mellow, and spiritual elements, all executed at the highest level, generating an effortlessly cool, irresistibly slick groove throughout.
The jacket design—an intense close-up of Suzuki’s face mid-performance paired with a subtle cat silhouette placed just so—is a perfect touch.
Listening to an album like this makes it clear that in the 1970s there were jazz players creating grooves of truly exceptional quality.
RomanceSuzuki Akiko
It’s a timeless masterpiece whose beauty still resonates today, letting you truly feel the rich tone of the Rhodes piano.
Sampled widely both in Japan and abroad, its gorgeous Rhodes loop is one of a kind, and the meticulous attention to the drum drop-ins and the airy sax makes it a truly supreme track.
Lost starsSuzuki Emiko
Singer Emiko Suzuki, whose father is a musical theater actor, has been performing live since childhood as a member of the family-formed gospel group Sugimoto☆Family.
Her digitally released single “Lost stars,” the second in her series of monthly releases, stands out with its airy track and clear, high-tone vocals.
Many listeners will likely relate to the lyrics that depict the heartbreak and scenes of a broken romance.
It’s an emotional number with a sentimental melody that stirs the heart.
Lonely ChaplinSuzuki Kiyomi Suzuki Masayuki
A duet song by Masayuki Suzuki, leader of the chorus group Rats & Star, and his older sister, singer-songwriter Kiyomi Suzuki.
Although it was originally released as the B-side to Masayuki Suzuki’s third single “Liberty,” the track later drew attention through album inclusion and a re-cut release.
The siblings’ naturally compatible vocals and expressive power come together as a collaboration between top-tier musicians.
It’s a classic male–female duet number—master it at karaoke and you’ll be a hero with any generation.
Six Trillion Years and a Night’s Tale (kemu)kōhei
They mainly post cover videos of anime songs and original VOCALOID tracks, and also upload videos such as their own original VOCALOID songs and Yukkuri-style explainers.
They play guitar and handle songwriting, composition, and arrangement—truly multitalented.
They generally seem to prefer metal-style sounds.
LoserNagabuchi Tsuyoshi
It’s a masculine message song that spits out, “I’m a loser,” as if sneering.
It’s a track by Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi, the musician behind numerous masterpieces like Tonbo and Kanpai, released in 2017 as his 51st single.
The lyrics, drawn from real-life experiences, are blistering and pierce the heart whether you like it or not.
At the same time, it sparks a fighting spirit—“No way I’m going down!”—making it a highly charged number.
Interpretations will vary, but I’d recommend it as an uplifting, motivational song.
It’s nothing good.Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi
Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi, whose songs about burning manly passion are supported by men of his generation.
His track “Rokuna Mon Ja Nee,” released in 1987, became a major hit as the theme song for the drama Oyako Zigzag, in which Nagabuchi himself starred.
It’s a well-known song that many people have heard, not only those who remember the era but also thanks to its huge success.
It creates a rugged, cool vibe yet also gets everyone fired up as a karaoke song—by the chorus it turns into a big sing-along.
It’s a number I highly recommend to anyone who’s been feeling stressed out lately.
