Let me introduce some songs by singer Masayuki Suzuki—also known as Martin—who previously found success as part of Rats & Star.

Masayuki Suzuki is famous for classics like “Koibito,” and his greatest appeal is undoubtedly his overwhelming vocal ability.

He has a captivating power that makes you want to stop and listen closely.

It seems he was quite the delinquent in his school days, and he’s said to have been friends since high school with Masashi Tashiro, who was also a delinquent.

Who could have imagined that the two of them would one day become nationally beloved singers?

Now then, please enjoy the music of Masayuki Suzuki, one of Japan’s leading singers.

Masayuki Suzuki’s greatest and most popular songs (11–20)

No, that’s not it.Suzuki Masayuki

This is Masayuki Suzuki’s 14th single, released in the winter of 1994.

From the very beginning of the song, he pleads with his lover, saying, “No, no, that’s not it!” to clear up a misunderstanding.

Even now, the opening part is often used on variety shows.

Tsuda from the comedy duo Diane does an impression based on this song.

GuiltySuzuki Masayuki

This is Masayuki Suzuki’s fourth single, released in the height of summer in 1988.

It’s a luxurious collaboration with music by Tatsuro Yamashita and lyrics by Mariya Takeuchi.

The song portrays the agony of an affair—falling for a woman who is already married and being unable to stop seeing her.

Gospellers, a special unit formed in 2005 with members selected from Rats & Star and The Gospellers, led by Masayuki Suzuki.

The first track on their debut album “Gospellers” features Rats & Star’s classic hit ‘Hurricane.’ Even though it’s an old song, I think it’s been arranged into a fun number that doesn’t feel dated.

“Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You” is the song known in Japan by its Japanese title “Kawaranu Omoi,” included on George Benson’s 1984 album 20/20.

It’s a classic that has been covered by many artists, so you’ve probably heard it at least once.

In the Legacy commercial, it was sung by Masayuki Suzuki.

Masayuki Suzuki, the soul singer known for his trademark sunglasses and mustache, hails from Tokyo and is affectionately nicknamed “Martin.” He made his major debut in 1980 as a member of Rats & Star (formerly Chanels), leaving behind timeless hits such as “Megumi no Hito.” He launched his solo career in 1986 with “Garasu Goshi ni Kieta Natsu,” and has since performed many classic ballads—including one of his signature songs, “Koibito”—earning him the title “The King of Love Songs.” He is also known for numerous cover performances and frequently appears on music programs.

Continuing a remarkably versatile career, in the 2020s he drew major attention as part of the “Double Suzuki” duo with Airi Suzuki—hailed as a “major newcomer in the anime song world”—and for his cover of YOASOBI’s “Kaibutsu,” brimming with fresh interpretation and discovery.

Influenced by his sister, singer Kiyomi Suzuki, he grew familiar with R&B, and his soulful, emotionally rich, beautiful voice captivates listeners.

He is truly a vocalist Japan can be proud of.

In 1980, a group called “Chanels” made their debut with the song “Runaway.” Masayuki Suzuki was also a member of this group.

“Runaway” was aired on TV many times in commercials for the now-nostalgic boomboxes.

Adam NightSuzuki Masayuki

This is a number by the husband-and-wife duo who worked on Momoe Yamaguchi’s “Playback Part 2”: lyrics by Yoko Aki and music by Ryudo Uzaki.

It’s a song that suits Masayuki Suzuki so well—it’s quintessential Martin.

A track brimming with mature allure.

The lyrics, which depict an adult romance using Adam and Eve as a motif, are also interesting.
