Kazuyoshi Saito’s masterpieces and popular songs

She said.Saitō Kazuyoshi

Kazuyoshi Saito 'She Said (with Lyrics)' covered by Shimpei

A laid-back yet cool number where lyrics that expand and shrink in scale dock perfectly with a classic, straightforward, large-scale three-chord song in the so-called “Summer Time Blues” vein.

But these kinds of slightly clumsy-leaning lyrics are common with Kazuyoshi Saito—doesn’t his wife get mad at him? Yay!

I’ll walk home.Saitō Kazuyoshi

Walk Home YouTube

This song was used as the opening theme for Ponkikkies, so it’s probably a familiar number to many people.

From the intro, it already has a phrase that lifts your spirits, and on a day when “the clouds drift lazily,” it makes you want to walk home even if it’s a little far.

It’s a track that feels like it can blow away your small worries.

Kazuyoshi Saito – Heredity [Music Video Short ver.]

The first single of 2017 is the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “Gekokujō Juken.” It’s a warm folk number characteristic of Kazuyoshi Saito.

The music video is staged like a period drama, featuring that famous actor as well.

Saito himself appears wearing a sandogasa (a conical traveling hat), giving him a drifter-like look.

Line Dance “Let’s Walk Home”Saitō Kazuyoshi

Noa Girls / Line Dance “Let’s Walk Home” (Performance by Parents)

As a performance, the popular dance “line dance.” While syncing the timing can be a bit tricky and requires practice, it’s a visually appealing dance even without difficult moves, so anyone can enjoy taking it on as a casual entertainment.

Dancing in kids’ costumes would likely be a hit, too!

Kazuyoshi Saito “Sakura” Cover

It’s a beautiful song that conveys the bittersweet feeling of a slightly chilly spring through its music.

The lyrics and guitar are a perfect match, and when you listen to it when you’re a bit tired, it feels like your fatigue melts away.

The melody is very easy to listen to, and I highly recommend it.

2020 DIARYSaitō Kazuyoshi

Kazuyoshi Saito – 2020 DIARY [Music Video]

Singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito, whose subtly wistful vocals and melodies have earned him support across generations.

The track “2020 diary,” included on his 21st album “55 STONES,” is, as the title suggests, a number that recounts events of 2020 from a musician’s perspective.

Its lyrics, which reflect on the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic that threw the world into turmoil and ask what we should be doing now, feel calm and on point when viewed from the vantage point of time passed.

It’s a soulful pop tune that, precisely because of difficult times, prompts each of us to consider how we ought to be.

BoySaitō Kazuyoshi

Kazuyoshi Saito – Boy [Music Video]

This is the 14th digital-only single by Kazuyoshi Saito, released on March 10, 2021.

Given that Saito is known for his very “masculine” vocals, it’s naturally a great karaoke pick for men who can deliver rich low tones.

However, to sing the chorus coolly, you’ll also need a powerful high tone in chest voice, which might make it a bit of a high hurdle as a karaoke choice.

By all means, make the most of your proud low range while showing a performance that doesn’t rely on falsetto for the high notes!
