gentle riverElephant Kashimashi
Included on the album “THE ELEPHANT KASHIMASHI 2,” released on November 21, 1988.
It’s the first track on the album.
Starting quietly, it suddenly unfolds into an intense vocal delivery.
The voice, reminiscent of Kiyoshiro Imawano, is both gentle and fierce.
It’s a song that conjures vivid images and evokes a heart-pounding sensation.
promiseElephant Kashimashi
From the double A-side single released on April 25, 2012.
Over an intro featuring only electric guitar, Hiroji Miyamoto’s restrained yet passionate vocals come in.
The lyrics make a powerful impression of Hiroji Miyamoto’s way of life—always earnest, always giving his all.
Though the song has a quiet tone, it’s a love song that gives you a great deal of courage.
Goodbye to kindnessOf course
It’s a refreshing song that portrays a farewell with someone important while also conveying a sense of hope for the road ahead.
In addition to being included on the best-of album “SELECTION 1973-78,” a version with some lyrics altered was paired as a coupling track with Kazumasa Oda’s solo single “Kimi to no Omoide.” The band’s sound has a gentle atmosphere that leaves a strong impression and evokes an image of quietly facing one’s own heart.
The vocals, with clear dynamics, may seem challenging, but since the melodic range isn’t too wide, it should be relatively easy to sing if you relax and feel the calm rhythm.
Mountain DelicaciesAustrian folk song
When we were little, many of us probably sang this song in kindergarten or elementary school.
It’s a classic about mountains that brings back the fun of picnics.
Even if you don’t know the song by name, I think many people would recognize it when they hear the yodeling in the chorus and go, “Oh, that song!” It’s the kind of tune you can’t help but hum along to.

Ayano Kaneko is a singer-songwriter known for the charm of her simple, unadorned vocals.
“Yasashii Seikatsu” (Gentle Life) is a track included on her album “Muretachi,” released on vinyl in 2017 and on CD in 2018.
The song carries an atmosphere that overlaps with her down-to-earth image, and its lyrics convey a desire to stay true to one’s authentic self.
While its words may not resonate with everyone, for those they do reach, they cut deeply—making this very much a hidden gem of a song.

Gentle DevilCandies
The 13th single, released in 1977, is a song with lyrics by Tadashi Kitajō and music by Takuro Yoshida—listen closely and you’ll hear Yoshida’s signature style burst forth.
With bold costumes designed by Ann Lewis and choreography known as the “devil sign,” it opened up a new chapter.
Try singing it together as a trio of close friends.
Gentle DevilCandies
Lyrics by Tadashi Kitajō, music by Takuro Yoshida.
A song released in 1977 that enjoyed explosive popularity at the time.
Needless to say, its breezy sensuality captivated fans back then.
While Candies are known for their lively and cute image, why not occasionally try delivering a song like this with a more mellow, heartfelt touch?
