The discography of Japanese singer Masayuki Suzuki includes 14 studio, 6 compilation, 4 cover albums (including 1 tribute album), a live album, 10 video albums, and 36 singles. Inspired by Western R&B acts and doo-wop songs, Suzuki formed a band Chanels in 1975, along with his friends and released their debut single "Runaway". Chanels would later be renamed to Rats & Star. In 1986, Suzuki made his solo debut through Mother of Pearl.^[1]

His 1995 release, Martini II became his best-selling effort in Japan, peaking at number one on the Oricon Albums Chart and getting certified Million by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ). Suzuki released his third cover album, Discover Japan II in September 2014.^[2] He is often likened to as the "King of Love Song" (ラヴソングの王様, Rabusongu no Ōsama).^[2]
