Songs with titles starting with “Ke” (61–70)
slopeMiyuki Nakajima
This song begins with a heavy, solemn intro.
The protagonist is an old woman.
In the bright, upbeat chorus it says, “Growing old is a wonderful thing, being forgetful is a wonderful thing,” but in the end, when it says, “If the number of sad memories exceeds the level of saturation, isn’t there nothing left to do but forget?” it becomes painfully clear just how much sorrow those words carry.
I feel that around this time Miyuki-san began moving away from breakup songs and started writing songs that focus on “humanity.”
Firefly LanternFuyumi Sakamoto
Released on March 27, 1996 (Heisei 8).
On this day, two other songs—“Sayonara Komachi” and “Tokyo Kakurenbo”—were released simultaneously, for a total of three tracks.
Among the three, this song sold the best.
That said, its peak was No.
50 with 35,000 copies.
The lackluster sales may have been due in part to traditional enka fans not embracing it.
After all, it has a reggae feel.
Lyrics by Yuu Aku, music by Ryudo Uzaki.
It was an unprecedented world for her.
It won the Lyricist Award at the Japan Record Awards.
Its musicality was clearly recognized, and at Kōhaku she closed out the Red Team, delivering a splendid performance of “Yozakura Oshichi.”
healthTamio Okuda
It was released in 1992 as the B-side to Tamio Okuda’s solo debut single.

partingMaria Asahina
This is “Ketsubetsu” by Maria Asahina, whose father is Italian-American and mother is Japanese.
It’s a very old song, but I think it’s a classic that people of that generation will recognize.
The beautiful singing and spoken parts are incredibly sensual and captivating—an unforgettable masterpiece.
The Decisive Three MinutesRingo Sheena
A track included on the self-cover album “Gyakuyunyuu: Kouwan Kyoku,” released on May 27, 2014.
Originally written for Chiaki Kuriyama in 2011.
This piece shares the same concept as Tokyo Jihen’s song “Noudouteki Sanpunkan” (exactly three minutes in length, 120 BPM).
In live shows, you can catch a glimpse of a performance using the megaphone that has become synonymous with her stage presence.
Poem of KeyakizakaKeyakizaka46

The intro and interludes quote Mendelssohn’s Wedding March.
