This song was featured as the CM tune for “Maruchan Akai Kitsune to Midori no Tanuki” in 2021 and was released as a digital single.

It’s a ballad that tenderly yet warmly portrays the changing seasons and the passage of time.

It’s perfect for when you want to sink into a nostalgic mood.

Chianti's Song

This piece suddenly brings back memories from when I was little.

“Kanty no Uta” was originally the ending theme of the anime Andersen Monogatari, which aired starting in 1971, and Saito covered it.

It’s included on her 20th album, 202020, released in 2020.

Perhaps because of the soothing melody and vocal work, I naturally find myself reflecting on life, overwhelmed with emotion.

If we’re going to perform it, I’d like to sing as gently as possible to capture that atmosphere.

tremolo

If you want to make a moist, mature ballad your own, this is the song for you.

Tremolo is a track from the twelfth album, I ♥ ME, released in 2007.

It’s a heartfelt love song that pairs gently swaying guitar sounds with Saito’s tender vocals, drawing you in with its clear, transparent atmosphere.

As it’s a ballad, the melody is, of course, on the relaxed side.

You should be able to sing it calmly while seated.

BoyKazuyoshi Saito13rank/position

Kazuyoshi Saito – Boy [Music Video]

This is the 14th digital-only single by Kazuyoshi Saito, released on March 10, 2021.

Given that Saito is known for his very “masculine” vocals, it’s naturally a great karaoke pick for men who can deliver rich low tones.

However, to sing the chorus coolly, you’ll also need a powerful high tone in chest voice, which might make it a bit of a high hurdle as a karaoke choice.

By all means, make the most of your proud low range while showing a performance that doesn’t rely on falsetto for the high notes!

Little Painter Ragtime Blues (Saito Mix)Kazuyoshi Saito14rank/position

Included as the B-side on the 21st single “On the Other Side of the Moon,” released in 2001, is “Little Painter Ragtime Blues (Saito Mix).” Its warm message—“Let’s paint just the way we want”—soothes both heart and body.

It has a charm that makes you want to close your eyes and listen.

Since the melody is basically a repetition of short phrases, you’ll probably be able to remember a good portion of it after a few listens.
