Love Is Blue / Love is Mizu-iroVicky

Vicky Leandros’s 1967 song “L’amour est bleu” has since gained worldwide recognition and continues to be loved for its poetic lyrics and melody that portray the many shades of love through the color blue.

From its appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest to Paul Mauriat’s instrumental version reaching No.

1 on the Billboard Hot 100, it has exerted a cultural impact that goes beyond just a song.

Notably, the French lyrics trace the shifting emotions of love as they come, while the English version, “Love Is Blue,” focuses on the sorrow of love.

This delicate gap in emotional expression is precisely what keeps drawing so many listeners to the piece.

It’s recommended for moments when you want to quietly savor the depths of emotion or be soothed by a nostalgic melody.

Scorpio womanKenichi Mikawa

“Onna no Scorpion,” the 25th single by Kenichi Mikawa, was released in 1972.

It’s distinctive for beginning with the word “iie” (“No”), and it’s one of his most widely recognized songs.

According to one interpretation, the lyrics that start with “No” convey: even if you tell me to break up, my answer is no.

If you think I’m an easy, understanding woman, you’re gravely mistaken.

You may think this is just a fling, but I won’t end it.

You might find it strange, but I’m single‑minded to the point of staking my life on it.

If that’s the intended meaning, it fits remarkably well and feels convincing, doesn’t it? Taking time to savor the lyrics is one way to enjoy a song, so give it a try if you like.

In conclusion

As mentioned at the beginning, people now in their 70s spent their youth in Japan during the late 1960s to mid-1970s, a time when Western music was incredibly popular.

Many of the songs from that era are timeless classics that artists continue to cover today.

If you’re a younger person who might have the chance to go to karaoke with relatives in their 70s, definitely keep this in mind!
