Popular Songs by Eikichi Yazawa | A curated selection of gems from the Boss of Japan’s rock scene! (71–80)
Sweet WinterYazawa Eikichi
“Sweet Winter,” a track included on ONLY ONE, the 29th album released to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the artist’s solo debut.
The spacious ensemble featuring piano and acoustic guitar, together with lyrics that paint a sentimental Christmas scene, truly moves the heart.
The melody is relaxed and the key isn’t too high, making it relatively easy to sing; however, be mindful of the sudden interval leaps and the slightly laid-back phrasing, which can easily cause you to fall out of rhythm.
It’s a hidden gem that’s perfect for karaoke in the cold season—one you’ll definitely want to add to your repertoire.
I love you, OKYazawa Eikichi
After the rock band Carol—who enjoyed great popularity—broke up, Eikichi Yazawa released “I Love You, OK” in 1975 as his solo debut single.
It’s a song you’ll want to listen to alone at night, quietly and reflectively.
Yazawa has mentioned in interviews that it’s a deeply personal piece he composed in his teens before forming Carol.
Unlike the straight-ahead rock ’n’ roll of the Carol era, this is a ballad meant to be listened to, and it’s often regarded as a mature song that has ripened even more now than at the time of its release.

The track “Yuudachi,” included on the 6th album KAVACH—which also drew attention when a remastered edition was released in 2022 to mark the 50th anniversary of the debut—features a melody woven with a bluesy ensemble and a gritty, mature vocal that really sticks in your ears.
The melodic flow is quite relaxed, and the key is low with a narrow vocal range, so it should be relatively easy to sing even for those who aren’t very confident singers.
However, there’s an arrangement in the middle where the vocal feel shifts dramatically, so don’t let your guard down and keep your focus through to the end.
Time, stand still.Yazawa Eikichi
Mr.
Rockstar, Eikichi Yazawa.
Used in a commercial, it became a hot topic, turned into a massive hit, and stands as one of his top-selling songs—a classic of summer.
In any case, it’s smoky.
Cool.
Recently, he performed an acoustic version live, and that, too, had a mature appeal.
No matter how old you get, people who are cool stay cool—always.
Just like back then, forever…Yazawa Eikichi
Included on the 2010 album “TWIST.” A singer born in 1949 from Hiroshima City.
For this song, he took part in writing the lyrics to convey his current feelings.
With a simple, moody rock-tinged rhythm and a smoky melody, his timeless vocal style makes this a superb track.
