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
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
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!
Happy Birthday to you!Saitō Kazuyoshi
This song is packed with the spirit of celebrating birthdays.
Set to a powerful rock sound characteristic of Kazuyoshi Saito, it sings of blessings and gratitude for the person celebrating their birthday.
The lyrics, filled with hope and anticipation for the year ahead, are sure to resonate with listeners.
Included on the album “Kazuyoshi,” released on October 23, 2013, this track is a meaningful piece commemorating the 20th anniversary of Saito’s debut.
Play this song when celebrating a loved one’s birthday, and it will surely become a special memory.
As a side note, Tatsuya Nakamura played drums and KenKen played bass on this recording!
Little Painter Ragtime Blues (Saito Mix)Saitō Kazuyoshi
Included as the B-side on the 21st single “On the Other Side of the Moon,” released in 2001, is “Little Painter Ragtime Blues (Saito Mix).” Its warm message—“Let’s paint just the way we want”—soothes both heart and body.
It has a charm that makes you want to close your eyes and listen.
Since the melody is basically a repetition of short phrases, you’ll probably be able to remember a good portion of it after a few listens.
Over the SeasonSaitō Kazuyoshi
This song was featured as the CM tune for “Maruchan Akai Kitsune to Midori no Tanuki” in 2021 and was released as a digital single.
It’s a ballad that tenderly yet warmly portrays the changing seasons and the passage of time.
It’s perfect for when you want to sink into a nostalgic mood.
The expansive, richly layered sound arrangement is another highlight.
Since it isn’t a word-heavy piece, don’t rush—sing it while cherishing the meaning of each word.
