There’s always tomorrowRe:Japan

A song covered by Yoshimoto comedians that was originally a worldwide hit released by Kyu Sakamoto in 1963.

The original lyrics of “Ashita ga Arusa” were supplemented with new verses by the original lyricist, Yukio Aoshima, and its depiction of contemporary everyday life is incredibly uplifting.

DESIRE -Passion-Nakamori Akina

When the single was released in 1986, the liner notes included a warning that said, “Please play this record at the highest possible volume,” and, indeed, blasting it at full volume is the ultimate hype.

Akina Nakamori—both cool and charming—will always be someone to admire, no matter how old we get.

Suddenly, SinbadSakamoto Fuyumi

This is a sensational video of enka singer Fuyumi Sakamoto performing Southern All Stars’ debut song “Katteni Sindbad.” Sakamoto looks as beautiful as ever in her kimono, and her live performance—even doing call-and-response—is outstanding.

I never imagined I’d get to hear “the hip-sway that sets the heart aflutter” sung with such a beautiful voice.
