Will you come with me?Kobayashi Akira
Although Akira Kobayashi is known for his tough-guy image, this song “Tsuite Kuru Kai” is a classic example of Showa-era kayōkyoku with lyrics that captivate both men and women.
It sings of how women wish men would be, and how men wish women would be.
The world doesn’t go the way songs do, though…
Will you come with me?Kobayashi Akira
Kobayashi Akira’s classic “Tsuite Kurukai,” marked by its poignantly sorrowful melody, is impressive.
As is typical of Kobayashi’s songs, the vocal range is on the wider side, but in this piece the only true high-tone section is the long note right before the chorus, so it shouldn’t pose a major obstacle.
However, there is one instance of kobushi in the middle of the chorus, which calls for attention.
The kobushi here is closer to a Western-style vocal riff than to an enka-style kobushi, so some familiarity with that approach will be necessary.

Its glamorous melody, opening with strings and chorus, leaves a vivid impression.
Riding on a brisk, upbeat rhythm, his freewheeling vocals unfold to full effect.
With a danceable beat that fits any driving scene from morning to night, it’s irresistible music that makes your body and heart sway—a dance classic loved across generations.

Speaking of Kobuchi, he’s known for the go-to joke about always being called “the smaller one in Kobukuro,” saying, “It only looks that way because Kuroda is too big” (lol).
In Kobukuro, he handles the lyrics and composition for most of their songs, and they’re practically the quintessential male duo with fans across a wide range of demographics.
