Songs with titles starting with 'Tsu'. Introducing masterpieces from the Showa to Reiwa eras! (41–50)
MoonlightMasahiro Kuwana
Masahiro Kuwana has produced numerous classic songs.
In his younger days, his voice had a rock-tinged quality that exuded masculinity, and as his hair began to turn white, a richer, more mature timbre emerged.
Eventually, he captivated many fans as a quintessential low-voiced singer.
A track where you can fully savor that deep voice is Tsuki no Akari (Moonlight).
It’s a poignant song that portrays masculinity, and Kuwana’s low vocals match it exquisitely.

Love me sinfullyChara
Chara is a female singer-songwriter who gained popularity with a musical style that incorporates elements of Black music.
Many women in their 40s still listen to her songs from time to time, don’t they? Among Chara’s tracks, the one I especially recommend is “Tsumi Fukaku Aishiteyo” (“Love Me Sinfully”).
While the low range stands out a bit, the vocals stay within the low to mid range, so the overall range isn’t very wide.
And although it draws on soul music, it doesn’t use advanced techniques like vocal runs, making it easy to sing naturally even for those not accustomed to singing Western-style music.
The strong and fleeting onesCocco
For those in their early 40s, songs from the 1990s are likely more memorable than those from the late 1980s.
Among female singer-songwriters who made a big splash in the ’90s, one track by Cocco that I especially recommend is “Tuyoku Hakanai Monotachi” (“The Strong and the Fragile”).
This piece features a rhythm with a bounce reminiscent of reggae, while the vocal line maintains an ennui-like quality.
The song has a relatively narrow vocal range and contains no phrases that require sudden jumps in pitch, making it easy to sing for people with any kind of voice.
Twin-tails until I’m 20♡Try making a cute 'kyururin' pose.
This is a bittersweet yet charming song themed around the end of youth and the transition into adulthood.
Released in November 2023, it’s a track written, composed, and arranged by Ryuji Seiyō.
It was first performed at a solo concert in July, and the music video garnered attention by surpassing 300,000 views within a month of its release.
On TikTok, the sound has been used over 1,400 times, making it particularly popular among the social media generation.
The lyrics, which portray a girl’s changing feelings as she grows older, leave a strong impression.
It’s a recommended track for those who resonate with “mass-produced” culture or who want to look back on their youthful memories.

Leon Niihama, an enka singer from Shiroi City in Chiba Prefecture, is known for his tall 180 cm stature, fresh looks, and emotionally rich vocals.
His father is enka singer Yasuo Takashiro, and he grew up in an environment immersed in music from an early age.
He made his debut on May 1, 2019—the first day of the Reiwa era—and reached No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Enka/Kayō chart.
He has received numerous honors, including the New Artist Award at the 61st Japan Record Awards and Best Enka/Kayō New Artist at the 34th Japan Gold Disc Awards.
While cherishing the appeal of traditional enka, he blends contemporary arrangements with an approachable singing style, earning support even from younger listeners who were previously unfamiliar with the genre.
His collaborations with Noritake Kinashi and George Tokoro have also drawn attention, and with his first appearance at the 75th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, expectations are high for him as a leading figure in the next generation of enka.

MAISONdes’s new song, set in a uniquely crafted world where reality and fantasy intersect, quietly stirs the listener’s heart.
The collaboration by Issei and Isekaijoucho, who have newly moved into the fictional six-tatami-and-a-half apartment, beautifully marries delicate, dark soundscapes with ethereal vocals.
It vividly expresses the desire to escape reality and the longing for salvation.
Since its release in May 2025, it has drawn attention on social media, ranking among trending keywords.
As another milestone for MAISONdes—whose total streams have surpassed 600 million—expectations for their future work are rising.
This piece resonates with those burdened by real-life regret and emptiness, and it’s also perfect as a soundtrack for solitary nights or quiet walks home.
