Masayuki Suzuki’s greatest and most popular songs

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.

hurricaneSuzuki Masayuki

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.

RunawayMiura Daichi & Suzuki Masayuki & Kawabata Kaname

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.

kissSuzuki Masayuki

This is a cover by Masayuki Suzuki of a classic song by Original Love.

Tajima Takao of Original Love sings “Kiss” with a sultry, seductive allure, which is fantastic, but Suzuki changes up the arrangement quite a bit, making this a track I’d love people familiar with the original to hear.

Compared to Tajima’s version, it feels lighter; it keeps a jazz flavor while also carrying a hint of country music.

My wishSuzuki Masayuki

This is a work produced by Kazumasa Oda, following “Wakare no Machi.” It’s a dreamlike ballad that truly feels like an Oda production.

Because of its quiet tone, Masayuki Suzuki’s voice comes to the forefront almost like a cappella, giving the impression that the melody serves as an underpinning.

It’s a track you’ll want to sit back and listen to carefully.
