Imperial Regent Declarationsadamasashi

Sadamasa-shi’s signature song, The Declaration of a Lord of the House (Kanpaku Sengen), needs no introduction.

Its matter-of-fact, narrative-like melody leaves an unforgettable impression after just one listen.

The old-fashioned “lord of the house” attitude is becoming less acceptable today.

Hearing this song makes you feel the change of the times, but perhaps the reason it has been loved for so long is that it isn’t simply a one-sided boast from an overbearing man; it portrays wishes born from loving one’s partner.

Even though the delivery is subdued, there are plenty of points to watch for—subtle shifts in pitch in the melody and leaps in the chorus, for example.

Start by practicing in a key that’s comfortable for you.

Naomi Chiaki, who debuted in 1969 and has created timeless classics, performs a poignant ballad themed around snow titled “Yuki” (Snow).

It’s a track included on a 2000 release, depicting a dramatic moment in a woman’s life.

While not much is explicitly stated, the story seems to be that she visits her ex-lover’s apartment only to find he is already living with a new partner.

The way her feelings in that moment are interwoven with the imagery of snow is masterful.
