Tokyo RhapsodyIchiro Fujiyama

Tokyo Rhapsody, nostalgic song, Tokyo
Tokyo Rhapsody Ichiro Fujiyama

A classic song representing 1936 (Showa 11) was born in a work set in Ginza, Kanda, Asakusa, and Shinjuku, portrayed in a pure and light foxtrot style.

Ichiro Fujiyama’s beautiful voice elegantly sings of urban scenes and a love story.

This piece, which vividly brings to mind the bustling districts of Tokyo at the time, became a massive hit, selling 350,000 copies.

It was Fujiyama’s first release after moving to Teichiku, and a film of the same title was later produced, cementing its status as a beloved song that symbolizes the Showa era.

It’s a perfect track for a calm moment or when reminiscing about the past.

Enjoy a heartwarming time discussing what Tokyo was like back then together with older listeners.

In the distant Showa era...Akira Kobayashi

When it comes to Akira Kobayashi, his expansive high notes are striking, aren’t they? Of course, that’s part of his appeal, but his charm isn’t limited to the high register.

In “Tōki Shōwa no…,” you can fully savor the depth of his low tones.

As it’s a later-career work, his high notes were starting to fade, but that makes the low range all the more pronounced.

Simply removing long sustained high notes lowers the difficulty considerably, and on top of that, this piece has relatively little contour in the vocal line, making it an easy song to sing from multiple angles.
