adieu Takako Okamura

A track from her sixth album, “Kiss ?a cote de la mer?.” Set to the kind of bright, up-tempo melody that has become Takako Okamura’s trademark, she casually sings about the end of a sad romance—an Okamura-style ‘breakup song.

’ She even shows a fair amount of lingering attachment, saying, “I don’t care if you resent me—just let me stay in some corner of your memory.” Still, the overall impression of the song is that of a positive goodbye.

Takako Okamura - Time of the Angels

This is Takako Okamoto’s 12th single, released in 1989.

She debuted with “Matsuwa” at Popcon as part of the duo Amin.

After Amin disbanded, she has been active as a singer-songwriter.

“Tenshi-tachi no Toki” is a Christmas song.

It’s an impressive love song with rhythmic, dramatic melodies and lyrics that express the desire to cherish the time spent with your smiling self.

The refrain is very effective, making it a highly polished track.

Takako Okamura - Maze

From the title alone, “A Sash to the Future” is such a stylish phrase, isn’t it? I have to say, that’s just like Takako Okamura.

The two people singing this song look so perfect in dappled sunlight.

How does one become someone who suits the future or hope? It’s so wonderful, and I really admire them.

The song I plan to play when my dad dies (lol).

A solo number by Takako Okamura included on Aming’s 2008 original album “Mirai e no Tasuki,” released when the duo resumed activities after 24 years.

Okamura penned the song as an expression of longing for her father, who passed away that same year.

Its poetic lyrics and simple, beautiful melody make it a moving piece that can’t help but loosen the listener’s tear ducts.

Takako Okamura - Refrain

Released in 1988 as the B-side to Takako Okamura’s 10th single, “Kurisumasu no Yoru” (Christmas Night).

It was a newly written song for that year’s Christmas concert tour, and according to Okamura, “the first song I wrote that warms the heart.” This beautiful love song, perfect for Christmas, portrays a woman’s heart wishing for eternal love on a night spent with someone precious, and carries a solemn, graceful atmosphere.

Takako Okamura - Only Son

A track from the debut album “Yume no Ki” (“Tree of Dreams”).

It’s, in a sense, a very Takako Okamura-like, unconventional love song that portrays the bittersweet feelings of a woman who, it seems, had to choose to part ways because the person she fell deeply in love with was an only son—and the various entanglements that came with that.

The gentle, soothing melody is deeply moving.
