stories to catch up onSuda Masaki

This song, remembered by many as a quintessential winter classic of the 1990s, is included on Masaki Suda’s album “LOVE,” released in July 2019.

Its delicate lyrics, which evoke the chill of winter, blend beautifully with Suda’s clear, translucent vocals, resonating deeply with listeners.

The lyrics skillfully depict winter scenes—like a scarf that was never given as a present, or murmurs in a smoking area on a cold night—reading almost like a poem.

The emotional ups and downs we feel in our interactions with others are contrasted with the cold of winter, striking straight at the heart.

If you sing it at karaoke, a gentle, heartfelt delivery is recommended.

Sing it with your feelings for someone special, and it’s sure to become a song that lingers in their memory.

Eir Aoi’s 16th single, released in August 2019.

It also served as the opening theme for the TV anime Granbelm.

Among singers who showcase high notes, quite a few have thin-sounding voices, but Eir Aoi never loses vocal body even in the upper register—that’s fantastic.

You can really sense her strong fundamental skills as a singer in this track.

The song itself is a very cool, uptempo number, so I especially recommend it to fans of female-vocal rock.

It could also be great for a female-fronted band to cover.

Hit him.aobouzu

A track from the four-piece rock band Aobozu’s first original album, Hiroshige Blue.

Despite its straightforward title, “Nagure” (“Hit Me”), you can sense a desire to face things head-on rather than getting bogged down by hassles.

It’s a song I highly recommend when you feel like you’re about to lose to society.

The lyrics tell the story of a young man striving to become a fully fledged chef and his relationship with the master’s daughter, conveying the old-fashioned spirit toward work and the emotions one feels for someone they admire.

Fujishima’s performance shines with his distinctive singing, blending piercing high notes that cut straight through from the nose to the crown of the head with a rich, resonant low register.

Some of you might be wondering, “What on earth is tsuntsurutenn?” Tsuntsurutenn refers to clothes that have become too short—like when a sweater that fit perfectly this year ends up too small next year and turns into tsuntsurutenn.

It’s a fun song that adorably portrays children’s rapid growth with a comical melody and lyrics.

The story is about knitting a beloved outfit from yarn—only to grow by next year and have it become tsuntsurutenn! It’s a slightly bittersweet yet humorous tune.
