Solo Journey with the Tsugaru ShamisenSaisei
Ayasei, a young enka singer from Hokkaido, is drawing attention.
In June 2019, at just 16, he made his debut with the single “Ginjiro Tabigarasu,” bringing a fresh breeze to the enka world.
Beyond his vocal ability, he excels at both Tsugaru shamisen and shakuhachi, showcasing his talents as a triple-threat artist.
Only six months after his debut, he won the New Artist Award at the 61st Japan Record Awards, proving his solid credentials.
With songs that modernize traditional enka elements, he’s presenting a new, approachable style of enka for younger generations.
Expanding his activities beyond music, including an appearance in the NHK morning drama series “Yell,” he is a rising star of the enka scene whose future is highly anticipated.
Tsugaru Shamisen StorySaisei
This is a warm-hearted song themed around the shamisen rooted in the land of Tsugaru.
Written and composed by Ikuzo Yoshi, it was released in February 2025.
It’s an enka number that gently weaves together the protagonist’s feelings toward their parents and pride in the shamisen, having chosen a path away from their hometown.
A modern, rock-like arrangement and effective use of electric guitar shine throughout.
Ayasei’s emotionally rich vocals, singing of gratitude to father and mother and a longing for home, and the shamisen’s evocative tones that resonate like memories, sink deep into the heart.
The scenic descriptions are superb, such as the scene of looking up at the stars on a blizzardy night while thinking of home.
It’s a song that offers comfort to those living apart from their families and hometown.
Moon and Melodywakusei gokko
The fluffy sensation soothes the listener’s ears.
Gokko Planet’s “Moon and Melody” offers a leisurely pace that puts the brakes on our hectic days.
Among their songs, this is the one I want to listen to while watching the gentle winter snowfall.
Moonlit Night Sea Bathingwakusei abunōmaru
It’s a song that overflows with a sickly, unstable vibe while still bursting with a sense of speed, just like in the music video.
What’s striking is how it’s sung from two perspectives: the man’s, telling her to choose either to love herself for eternity or die; and the woman’s, saying that if he wishes for death, she’ll offer her life at any time—yet she won’t say that out loud, because admitting it would make his feelings grow cold.
Wings ~Hoping for the FUTURE~Oshio Kotaro
Kotaro Oshio’s music, crafted on a single guitar to evoke the sounds of various instruments, continues to produce richly expressive pieces.
With phrasing that conjures the image of soaring on wide wings, this wonderful track fills your heart with the urge to leap out into the world right now.
The Far Side of the MoonSaitō Kazuyoshi
Singer-songwriter Kazuyoshi Saito’s “The Far Side of the Moon.” A ballad that begins quietly with piano and vocals, its gentle singing voice seeming to seep softly into the heart.
Then, in a complete turn, it grows gradually more dramatic toward the chorus, and with powerful strings, it suddenly plunges into another world—a mysterious song indeed.
It’s as if you’re flying to the far side of the moon.
