A heartbreak song that was a hit in the 1980s. A classic and popular track in Japanese music.

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Lonely Heart (Japanese Version)CREATION

Creation, a pioneering presence in Japanese rock bands.

In their early days, they were active as a blues rock band and released numerous classic songs.

From Creation’s catalog, I’d like to introduce “LONELY HEART (Japanese Version).” This song melodically expresses the heartrending feelings of a man after a breakup.

There’s also an English version, so you can enjoy comparing the two.
