12th graderFunaki Kazuo
This lyrical song is filled with memories of youth, and Kazuo Funaki’s fresh vocals in a student uniform make a striking impression.
Set to a march-like, approachable melody, it gently recounts the joys and loneliness of school life and the partings with friends.
After its release in June 1963, the work achieved astonishing sales and won the New Artist Award at that year’s Japan Record Awards.
It was also adapted into a film, starring Kazuo Funaki himself, with scenes shot in his hometown of Ichinomiya City, Aichi Prefecture.
It’s a song meant to be hummed together as you reminisce about nostalgic youthful days.
Let’s sing along with cheerful handclaps.
Just as there are stars in the skyAraki Ichiro
Ichiro Araki was a multitalented performer who was active in various fields, including acting, singer-songwriter work, musicianship, and novel writing.
Among the many songs he created, the one I especially recommend for men in their seventies is Sora ni Hoshi ga Aru Yō ni (As There Are Stars in the Sky).
While the slightly Hawaiian-tinged timbre is striking, the song as a whole is arranged as orthodox J-pop, and its vocal range is relatively narrow.
For that reason, it’s a particularly singable piece for those who find it difficult to produce high or powerful notes.
