Yokohama TwilightItsuki Hiroshi

This is the song that Hiroshi Itsuki released in 1971 as his re-debut single after changing his stage name four times.

It’s a rare type of song in which, aside from the final phrase, all the lyrics are composed of single words, making it particularly memorable in that regard.

Along with “Blue Light Yokohama” and “Minato no Yoko, Yokohama, Yokosuka,” it is cherished as a Yokohama-themed local song.

As a song widely known among the public, it likely enjoys enduring popularity in karaoke as well.

This song, which proceeds mostly through spoken narration except for a single chorus line—much like a play or musical—is one of the most innovative and striking numbers in the Down Town Boogie-Woogie Band’s catalog.

It effectively marked the lyric-writing debut of Yoko Aki, who was the wife of the band’s leader, Ryudo Uzaki.

When the song became a hit, it inspired numerous answer songs.

Because you don’t have to worry much about pitch, it’s recommended even for those who aren’t confident in their singing but are comfortable delivering spoken lines.

The music duo CHAGE and ASKA have left behind many great songs.

Among their works, “Boku wa Kono Hitomi de Uso wo Tsuku” is renowned as a masterpiece.

Although its uptempo nature might make it seem challenging, the range spans mid1 F to hi A# and isn’t particularly wide.

Moreover, the average pitch centers around mid2 F, which is a comfortable range for male singers, making it far easier to sing than it sounds.

Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
