Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi – Kanpai [With Lyrics]
Cheers, Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi

This is a renowned song that has continued to resonate with many as an anthem celebrating life’s new beginnings.

Originally released in September 1980 on the album “Kampai,” it vividly depicts a celebratory scene lit by candlelight and carries a warm message of encouragement for a friend taking their first step forward.

Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi’s powerful vocals deliver hope and courage for the future.

In 1988, it was re-recorded and released as a single, becoming a major hit that reached No.

1 on the Oricon charts.

In the early 1990s, it was also featured in commercials for Kirin Lager Beer, further boosting its recognition.

To this day, it remains a timeless song passed down through the years, often chosen to convey heartfelt feelings to loved ones at important milestones in life, such as weddings and graduation ceremonies.

This is the major-label debut single by X JAPAN, a five-member rock band renowned worldwide for their unique musicality, spanning from aggressive metal tunes to classical ballads.

Although it’s a metal number, it won the Best New Artist award at the Japan Cable Radio Awards, and it has become a signature rock tune for X JAPAN.

While the beat is quite fast, the melody is relatively relaxed, making it easier to sing; however, the overall key is high, so if you don’t adjust the karaoke key to suit your range, you might wreck your voice in just one song.

If you sing it in a comfortable key, it’s a great track to kick off a karaoke session—give it a try!

Written as the theme song for the TV drama “Kiken na Aneki,” it was produced in response to a request for a “historic love song.” Even within its sprightly melody, Hirai’s signature edge voice shines through—a nuance you’ll definitely want to recreate in karaoke.

With no tricky leaps or sudden pitch jumps and a breezy arrangement, it’s an uplifting track that’s perfect for kicking off a karaoke session and getting the crowd going.
