Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

The song that became the theme for the movie “GeGeGe no Kitaro: The Millennium Curse Song” has a storm-like power and intensity, doesn’t it? We often say a favorable situation is a tailwind and adversity is a headwind, and in this song, a headwind appears.

No matter how adverse the circumstances, the way it faces them head-on with strength is truly inspiring.

Be sure to listen to the powerful vocals that seem to connect with the film’s story.

Cat allergy that vanishes into the wind

Telling lies to hide the truth, wishing those lies had never happened, things you want to forget, things you don’t want to forget, things you can’t forget… When you listen to the words woven into these lyrics, surely there will be at least one or two parts you can relate to.

This song is filled with those complex emotions that everyone has faced.

In it, the wind is depicted as a force that wipes everything away, heightening the song’s sense of poignancy.

It’s a song about a life that keeps journeying on despite various setbacks, suffering, and inner conflict.

The distinctive high-toned vocals are strikingly memorable, standing out in contrast to the song’s heavy theme.

In the lyrics, which declare that as long as we are alive we will live on, embracing both hardship and joy, the wind is positioned like a guidepost and depicted as a symbol of hope.

Yuzu - Spring Breeze

Harukaze, Yuzu’s 23rd single, released in 2007.

In this song, Yuzu delivers beautiful harmonies that evoke an unforgettable love whenever you feel the spring breeze.

There are things you can’t say while you’re in the midst of love, but after it ends, you can often express them honestly, aren’t there?
