If You Leave Me NowCHICAGO
It’s a tear-jerking love ballad by the American band Chicago.
The Japanese title “Ai Aru Wakare” (A Loving Parting) gives the impression that a breakup is a foregone conclusion, but the lyrics actually pour out the feeling: “I can’t even imagine being apart from you!” For Chicago, who had been active since the ’60s with their brass rock sound, this 1976 release became their first song to reach No.
