Keisuke Kuwata – Shiroi Koibito-tachi (Short ver.)
White LoversKuwata Keisuke

A gem of a ballad, richly expressing the bittersweet feelings of winter love, has been delivered by Keisuke Kuwata.

It’s a moving piece that looks back on warm memories of love, as if wrapped in snow, with a sense of blessing.

Rather than lamenting a past romance as a mere failure, it impressively celebrates the moments of that love from the heart.

Accompanied by a beautiful, resonant melody, it conveys a gentle warmth within the chill of winter.

Released in October 2001, the song was featured in a Coca-Cola commercial and sold 520,000 copies on the Oricon weekly chart.

It’s a perfect choice for winter karaoke with family and close friends when you want to share heartwarming memories.

This is a gem of a masterpiece by Koji Tamaki, depicting people who, while facing the weaknesses and conflicts hidden within, live with strength.

The song richly portrays life as it is: a solitary soul kicking a stone, eyes gazing at the night sky in prayer, and an oil-stained back fallen silent.

Its melody gently teaches the importance of not overreaching, but simply taking one step at a time and steadily doing what you can.

Released in July 1996, the song was used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Coach” and became a major hit, reaching No.

2 on the Oricon charts.

It’s a track I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who feels lost or anxious in daily life, or who is searching for a way of living that is true to themselves.

AMERICA

AMERICA Shogo Hamada
AMERICA

This is a refreshing song that portrays the ordinary, everyday life spent in America, a place approached with a sense of longing.

It’s included on the 1986 album “J.BOY.” The American scenery depicted through country-tinged sounds and lyrics is striking, evoking a strong image of the America you see in films.

The vocals unfold as if slowly looking back on memories, so relaxing your shoulders may help both with ease of singing and with creating the right mood.

It might also be important to focus on singing as if sending your feelings to a faraway place.

Indigo-colored Letter

Indigo-Colored Letter – Shogo Hamada
Indigo-colored Letter

This song, themed around a letter from someone dear, evokes reflection on the past and hope for the future.

It was included on the 2001 album “SAVE OUR SHIP,” and is said to be a rewritten version of the song “Hiruyasumi” (Lunch Break).

Precisely because of its simple arrangement of piano and vocals, the feeling of quietly facing one’s own heart comes through vividly.

The lyrics invite you to imagine the story behind them, which is a defining feature of the song, so how you convey emotion in the lyrics is a crucial point.

With its very slow tempo, it seems like a piece you can sing calmly.

Another Saturday

Another Saturday (We are still on the road.)
Another Saturday

It’s a bittersweet song that portrays episodes of a possibly unrequited love and the intensifying emotions that come with it.

Released in 1985 as the B-side to the single “LONELY – Ai to Iu Yakusokugoto,” it gradually became one of Shogo Hamada’s signature ballads despite not being the title track.

The progression, centered on piano with layered strings, accentuates the heartache and poignant atmosphere.

Its gentle, conversational tempo makes it easy to sing; conveying emotion while delivering it quietly and tenderly is key.

A Painting of May

May Painting - Shogo Hamada

This song portrays the rediscovery of long-forgotten love for one’s family and the various emotional shifts that accompany it.

It’s included on the album “Journey of a Songwriter,” and serves as a sequel to “Hanabi” from the previous album “My First Love.” The story follows a man who abandoned his family and reunites with his daughter, depicting a complex mix of joy and regret.

The arrangement is simple, layering acoustic sounds with vocals to create a relaxed atmosphere.

Its gentle, conversational tempo makes it easy to sing, and you should be mindful of how to infuse tender vocals with emotion.

The road I walked with you

The Road I Walked With You – Shogo Hamada
The road I walked with you

This song looks back on the road the singer has walked so far and talks about how satisfied they are with their life.

It was released as a single ahead of the 2005 album “My First Love,” included as the B-side to “I am a father.” The simple arrangement of acoustic guitar and percussion seems to highlight the gentle message of the lyrics.

The vocal line, with its modest melodic range and conversational delivery, makes it easy to sing, and performing it in a relaxed manner will likely bring out the song’s atmosphere even more.
