"Recommend team B" by AKB48

("Team B Oshi")

AKB48's songs are easy to sing, easy to memorize and easy to be forgotten.
This is a song of last year.
But noone sing it anymore.
Because their songs are fashion but not art.

I think so.

"Sad color, isn't it?" by Masaki Ueda

("Kanashii iro ya ne") by 上田正樹

Masaki Ueda is singing,
"Osaka sea is sad color, isn't it?
'Cause everyone come here to throw away their farewell."

I like Osaka song, because I was born in Osaka.

"Separating in 22 year-old" by Kaze

(Nijuunisai No Wakare)

Kaguyahime that I introduced yesterday broke up in 1975.
Then Syouzou Ise who was a member of Kaguyahime formed a folk duo
with Kazuhisa Ookubo.
They named "Kaze" which means "wind".

This is their first single record.
Sad song

"Aka-Chouchin (Red Lantern)" by Kaguyahime


Kaguyahime who sang  this song was a male folk song trio.
I feel strange that they named it,
because "Kaguyahime" means "Princess Kaguya".
They are not gays.

It's often that red paper lantern is set in front of Japanese old type bar
instead of a neon sign.
This is the song heroine is remembering that she sometimes went to bar
with her ex-boyfriend.
Is she happy or not now?
I don't know.

"Runner" by BAKUFU-SLUMP


Sunplaza Nakano who is the vocalist of BAKUFU-SLUMP is a gay.
When he come back his home, his male wife is cooking dinner for him.
It isn't uncommon in USA, but
I am somewhat repulsed by it.
But he has a nice talent to write songs and I respect him.
How about you?
