Song of Yoshida Townyoshida takurou
This song was composed in 1991 at the request of the volunteer group “Wakamono Republic” in Yoshida Town, Niigata Prefecture, who approached him because of the shared name Yoshida and asked for “a song that would be a source of hope and nourishment for the townspeople’s hearts.” It has none of the festive feel of a typical town-promotion song, and perhaps Takuro Yoshida even overlaid elements of the life he himself has carried.
Song of the DawnYoshino Hisashi, Tamori Atsuya (iisutan yūsu)
eastern youth is a rock band formed in 1988 in Sapporo, Hokkaido.
Guitar and “voice” member Hisashi Yoshino is from Obihiro, and drummer Atsuya Tamori is from Rebun.
A few years after forming, they launched their own label, Sakamoto Shoten, and expanded their activities by not only performing in Japan but also joining overseas artists on tour.
They later released music with several major record companies, and since 2015 they have been active on their independent label Hadashi no Ongakusha.
Yoshino’s role is credited as “voice” rather than “vocal” because his singing performance sometimes borders on a scream, which led to that specific credit.

The sharp band sound built around a four-on-the-floor beat pairs perfectly with Wada’s husky vocals—it’s really cool! It’s a great pick when you want to amp up the energy at karaoke.
It’s a female artist’s song, but the key is low, so I think it’s easy for men to sing too!

The Yokan coupleWada Akiko
This song stands out for its humor-filled lyrics.

It became a hot topic in 2021 when the track was played during an episode featuring Downtown as guests.
Hitoshi Matsumoto wrote and composed it, reportedly to celebrate Masatoshi Hamada’s 60th birthday.
The metaphors using various kinds of “yokan” warmly depict the love between spouses as felt in everyday life.
It’s a perfect song for livening up a karaoke session or expressing gratitude to someone special.

Since it’s a duet, you’ll want to find a partner before tackling it at karaoke.
Whether you can pull off the spoken-line sections will likely be the key.
