Kazuyoshi Saito’s masterpieces and popular songs

Let me introduce some songs by the hugely popular singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito.

Kazuyoshi Saito shot to fame when his song “Aruite Kaerou” was used as the opening theme for the TV show Ponkickies.

His appeal undoubtedly lies in his vocals and the gentle atmosphere of his music.

He has moving classics like “Utautai no Ballad” and “Wedding Song.”

Saito is also a big cat lover; for the jacket of “Yawarakana Hi,” he used a photo he took himself of his beloved cat.

The tune is pure, down-and-dirty blues, but the lyrics are so psychedelic that it doesn’t go down easy.

It depicts things like harassment through silent phone calls, and it’s said to be based on a true story—apparently someone actually poured mayonnaise into their mailbox.

Singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito, who has released numerous timeless hit tunes such as “Aruite Kaerou” and “Utautai no Ballad,” has penned a new song for Asahi Super Dry × THE FIRST TAKE collaboration web commercial Vol.

3, titled “Tension & Release: Kazuyoshi Saito.” The track, “Ashita Daisuki na Rock ’n’ Roll Band ga Kono Machi ni Yattekurunda” (“Tomorrow, My Favorite Rock ’n’ Roll Band Is Coming to This Town”), features a funky ensemble that really sticks in your ears.

The way he downs a beer after the recording may make even those who don’t drink think it looks delicious.

It’s an emotional CM song where his smoky vocals resonate with the beer’s bittersweet taste.

This commercial uses a gentle animation depicting scenic drives to show how ENEOS supports a wide range of drivers.

Alongside conveying the joy of driving, it introduces EneKey and speaks to how easy and convenient it is to use.

The relaxed mood expressed in the visuals is further enhanced by Kazuyoshi Saito’s song “Oretachi no Circus.” Its light rhythm, featuring acoustic guitar, is memorable, and the soft vocals also convey a sense of relaxation.

For those who find it hard to hit high notes or feel uncomfortable singing at karaoke, many tend to choose songs by male artists.

This song, “Zutto Suki Datta” by Kazuyoshi Saito, is very easy for women to sing as well, and its relaxed tempo makes it a great choice even for people who aren’t confident at karaoke.

Released in 2010 as Saito’s 38th single, it also drew attention for its music video, which pays homage to real Beatles footage.

It’s definitely a song that will get the crowd going if you sing it at a reunion!

This is an anti-nuclear song in which singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito rewrote the lyrics to his own track “Zutto Suki Datta” (“I’ve Always Loved You”).

It delivers a biting message satirizing the nuclear accident from the Great East Japan Earthquake and the government’s response.

I’m astonished that Kazuyoshi Saito chose to film and distribute this piece on his own initiative.
