“Suzhou Nocturne” is a masterpiece in which Hamako Watanabe’s beautiful voice and the lyrical richness of the words resonate deeply in the heart.
Set against the backdrop of the scenery of Suzhou, a foreign land, it portrays a fleeting romance.
Released in 1940, it became a massive hit and was also used the following year as an insert song in the film ‘China Nights.’ This song, which captivated people in Japan during wartime, continues to be covered and cherished by many artists today.
Let’s listen together and share our wonderful memories.

PENGUIN RESEARCH is a five-member rock band formed around vocalist Takashi Ikuta and bassist Akita Souda (Shota Horie).
Known for their high energy and strong, message-driven performances, their songs have been featured in anime such as Magi: Adventure of Sinbad, ReLIFE, and Zoids Wild.
Ikuta, originally from Kochi, had been active in a local band as a guitarist and vocalist.
Although he once found employment as a childcare worker, he couldn’t give up on music; in 2014 he set his sights on becoming a full-time band musician and formed PENGUIN RESEARCH in 2015.
He is also interested in voice acting and works as a voice actor as well.
Tokiwadisco Minato-machimachi akari
Akari Machi’s musical style is uniquely her own, evoking both the populism and diversity of Showa-era kayōkyoku.
Released in March 2024, this track captivates with its freewheeling disco sound.
It’s included on the album “You Can Ban Me from Earth ~ Disco Akari DISCO Machi Akari.” The pop-leaning groove will have your body keeping time before you know it.
Another intriguing point is that Beni Ninagawa from Wagakki Band plays the shamisen.
It’s a production I can recommend not only to disco lovers but also to fans of classic Japanese pop.
I want to see that smile.Fukuyama Masaharu
“I Want to See That Smile” is a track included on the 2015 album “I am a HERO.” Its cozy, heartwarming melody and the dance-like rhythm in the chorus make it a joy to listen to.
While the lyrics express a wish to always love one’s present self, it’s actually “someone’s smile” that becomes the driving force.
It’s a positive number that lets you imagine someone’s smile and, in turn, smile warmly yourself.
It might even be a song about Masaharu Fukuyama himself.
His pre-song MCs at live shows are also energizing!

Two years later, they made their major-label debut with the mini-album “Country Road.” In recent years, they’ve also become known for a successful show at Nippon Budokan and an appearance on the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
Let’s keep an eye on their future success.

Aside from his variety show appearances, Sosina of Shimofuri Myojo has also achieved major success on YouTube and as an artist.
His signature song, “Soraburarin,” combines popularity with ease of singing.
The track strongly features punk rock elements and maintains a powerful atmosphere throughout.
However, there aren’t any parts that require belting; it’s sung in the mid to low range from start to finish, making it a song that even those who struggle with high notes can aim to score a perfect 100 on.
