In the Rain of RemembranceFukuyama Masaharu

Tsugaru YearningFukuda Kouhei
Kohei Fukuda, who is also skilled in Tsugaru folk songs.
When he sings about the familiar Tsugaru, it feels like his emotions are especially deeply expressed, doesn’t it? This piece is a very peaceful and beautiful work that portrays the scenery of Tsugaru.
Among Kohei Fukuda’s songs, this one is particularly easy to sing, characterized by a relaxed tempo and a vocal line with gentle contours.
That said, it does include some moderately difficult kobushi (ornamental turns), so an intermediate or higher skill level is essentially required.
If you’re accustomed to enka, be sure to add it to your repertoire.
to spell; to compose; to write (e.g., a letter or journal); to bind together (pages)Hata Motohiro
It’s a song included on Motohiro Hata’s fourth single, “Signed POP,” released in 2013.
The lyrics are about writing a letter to a beloved person for after one’s own death.
It’s a song that conveys ultimate love—a warm piece I’d want to give to my dearest after I’m gone.
Stroll through Tsumoyuki Parkinamuri
Mr.
Inamuri, a rising Vocaloid producer who began his activities in 2022.
His sixth released track is “Tsumoyuki Park Stroll.” He came up with this piece while walking through a snowy landscape.
Set to a quiet, music box–like melody, Kaai Yuki and Kasane Teto sing about happenings on a winter day.
They harmonize throughout the entire song, but it’s interesting that each of them expresses the feelings of a different character.
And the structure culminates with the two meeting at the end.
Soldier, run.Inaba Kōshi (B’z)
Koshi Inaba, the vocalist of B’z—one of Japan’s leading rock units—was born in Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture.
In 1985, he entered the Being vocal school and pursued activities such as singing and doing chorus work as part-time gigs.
Later, after guitarist Tak Matsumoto, who had been striving to form a band, heard Inaba’s demo tape, B’z was formed.
They made their major debut in 1988 with the simultaneous release of the single “Dakara Sono Te wo Hanashite” and the album “B’z.” Beyond his work with B’z, Inaba also launched a solo career, releasing the album “Magma” in 1997 and collaborating with Slash, the guitarist of Guns N’ Roses.
His distinctive, high–toned voice continues to shine, resonating undimmed by the passage of years.
Desert of the Moondōyō
“Tsuki no Sabaku” (The Desert Under the Moon) is one of the most beloved classics among Japanese children’s songs.
Written by Masao Kato in 1923 with music composed by Suguru Sasaki, this piece beautifully depicts a fantastical scene of a prince and princess riding camels along a moonlit sandy shore.
Its gentle melody and lyrical verses create a world that softly envelops the listener.
With a comfortable vocal range and a relaxed tempo, it’s a recommended song even for those in their 90s.
Please try singing it while reminiscing about your treasured memories.
Please give me wingskami fuusen
It’s a classic graduation song that’s been covered by so many artists you can almost lose sight of the original.
Maybe it’s more of a “graduation ceremony song” than a general graduation song.
Back when there weren’t many songs themed around graduation, it felt like every school sang this one.
The original was released in 1971 by Akai Tori, the folk group that was the predecessor to Kami Fusen.
What’s more, it was put out as the B-side to “Takeda no Komoriuta,” which just goes to show you never know where a hit will be born.
Besides Kaori Kawamura’s 1991 cover, it’s recently gained attention for being used as an insert song in Evangelion.
