Help me to identify old japanese singer! 2014/11/30 07:29
Hello, everyone. Would you be so kind to help me with identifying some old japanese songs of 60-70s? I'm really tired of searching, and I will be very grateful if someone will assist me.
I have 2 songs, here are the links:

If these link won't work - let me know, I will reupload somewhere else.
At least, thanks for trying! ;)

The singing is, I think Tsunehiko Watase.
Maybe, it is the theme song of the yakuza movie.
Once upon a time, it seems to have many appearances.

Tsunehiko Watase is an actor much much more than he is a singer. I think he has only released two songs, as far as singing is concerned.

Thanks everyone for replies. Voice is really very similar, but I don't think it's him. Nowhere is stated about his music career besides some CM songs. But these songs, I attached - ripped from audio cassete (brought in 80s from Japan by my father) full of this artist's songs in this style.
I want not just to know the artist, but to find all his songs. Unfortunately I don't know japanese at all and it makes the problem.
I would be very GRATEFUL for ANY HELP!

Watase's the old days was out to many gangster movies.
However, now it is known in the criminal role of drama called "omiyasan".
Japanese is understood that the meaning of the roughly in translation software.

I am sure that this is Tetsuya WATARI. He is a well-known movie and TV drama actor, and also a very nice singer.
Here is the link to the Wikipedia page.
And, you know, he is an elder brother of Tsunehiko Watase !!!

For his songs, please check out on amazon store. I don't know, however, whether it's possible to command out of Japan.
For your help, here is his name in kanji characters.

“n “N–ç (Watari Tetsuya)
