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.

It was the song from the Kirin Dry Beer commercial featuring Gene Hackman.

As a kid, I looked forward to seeing that commercial.

The chorus is unforgettable once you hear it.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but looking back, it was the perfect song to capture the refreshing feel of summer beer.

It’s a song with lyrics entirely in English, which I think was quite rare for its time.

With a gentle melody and lyrics celebrating life, Masayuki Suzuki sings with a clear, expansive voice that gives the feeling of listening to a hymn.

It’s a song that conveys Suzuki’s great kindness.

Our Love Is SpecialSuzuki Masayuki

It’s the B-side track of the single “Love Overtime.” The lyrics are entirely in English, and the song has a somewhat romantic tone.

It has such a Western pop feel that it wouldn’t seem out of place on an international hit chart, and perhaps because Masayuki Suzuki liked it as well, it was included on his best-of album “MARTINI.”

In Noriyuki Makihara’s song “Fuyu ga Hajimaru,” Maki Nomiya, a Shibuya-kei singer, performs a duet with Masayuki Suzuki on her cover album.

A trailer has been released online where you can catch a brief glimpse of their duet.

KuunaSuzuki Masayuki

It’s a song that portrays women from the bubble era.

I think it’s a very tasteful track that you never get tired of listening to.

Even now, when I’m feeling down, it lifts my spirits.

To me, it feels like a hymn to women, with Masayuki Suzuki gently speaking to and encouraging them.

The trumpet adds a really nice touch.

This is the first collaborative single with The Gospellers.

The song was composed by Kaoru Kurosawa of The Gospellers, and members of the group participate as chorus singers.

Its gentle melody conveys Mr.

Suzuki’s deep affection.

The Gospellers’ supportive chorus and harmonies are also not to be missed.

This is a duet that came to fruition after Hitomi Shimatani asked to sing with Masayuki Suzuki, whom she greatly respects.

Suzuki also accepted because he holds Shimatani’s vocal ability in high regard.

While “Shibuya de 5-ji” with Momoko Kikuchi felt like a blend of motion and stillness, this track is a high-energy tune where motion and motion intertwine and soar together.

Shimatani’s vocals are astonishing as well.
