biting my lipTakuro Yoshida
It’s a song with a nostalgic atmosphere that evokes images of one’s hometown scenery and connections with people there.
It was written specifically as the theme song for the film “Detective Story,” in which Tetsuya Takeda not only starred but also served as the original author and screenwriter.
A major feature of this piece is that it’s sung in the Hiroshima dialect, and the lyrics gain depth precisely because they’re rendered in the natural words that fit Takuro Yoshida’s own voice and body.
The sound, which blends the strength of rock with the nostalgia of folk, also highlights the message of the lyrics.
Once you get a feel for the Hiroshima dialect, you’ll likely find it a very singable song with a gentle, unhurried tempo.

Takuro Yoshida is a pioneering figure among Japanese singer-songwriters.
As an artist who brought folk music into the mainstream, I believe he has many fans even among men in their 60s.
Among his songs, the one I particularly recommend for aiming at a high score is Rakuyō (Sunset).
Although the song spans a fairly wide vocal range for a male vocalist—mid1 B to hi G—its tempo is an unusually relaxed BPM 87, making it, overall, a song that’s relatively easy to score highly on.
Humans, you know…Takuro Yoshida
Takuro Yoshida is a singer-songwriter who represents Japan’s folk scene.
In addition to orthodox songs, he also created many introspective, edgy tracks characteristic of the folk scene of the time.
Among Yoshida’s works, the one I particularly recommend for men in their 50s is Ningen Nante (“Humans Ain’t Much”).
It features a decadent melody, and the vocal range is fairly standard.
You might feel it’s a bit high, but even at the highest points it stays in the mid-to-high range, so there shouldn’t be any issues with vocal production.
Its rough, rugged vocals are a hallmark, and the fact that it still sounds reasonably complete even when sung a bit loosely is part of what makes it easy to sing.
In conclusion
From Takuro Yoshida’s songs, I’ve introduced some that are relatively easy to sing.
I selected mainly tunes with simple melodies, so please listen to each one and try humming along to find the songs you personally find easy to sing! I hope this article helps you enjoy karaoke to the fullest.
