Morning of PartingPedoro & Kapurishasu

Pedro & Capricious’s “Wakare no Asa” (Morning of Parting) was released in 1971 and is known as one of the group’s signature songs.

The original is “Was Ich Dir Sagen Will” by Austrian singer Udo Jürgens, to which Rei Nakanishi added Japanese lyrics for this version.

The sound leans strongly toward kayōkyoku, giving it a different vibe from the original, and over this powerful arrangement the sorrow of parting is sung.

Because the song conveys a kind of strength that tries to shake off loneliness, when it’s used in commercials it tends to create an impression of emphasizing the power to move forward.

Sexual Violet No. 1Kuwana Masahiro

Masahiro Kuwana’s “Sexual Violet No.

1” was released in 1979 and is one of his signature songs.

The lyrics have a sexy vibe, seemingly singing about a man–woman relationship, and combined with the guitar-driven, powerful sound, they convey a unique, forceful image.

One reason the song became a hit was its use in a Kanebo commercial, which is said to have boosted Kuwana’s popularity.

The structure, with the title repeated in the chorus, leaves the song name firmly imprinted in your mind.

1978 Shiseido

Time, stop.Yazawa Eikichi

Eikichi Yazawa’s “Tokiya Tomare” (Stop, Time) was released in 1978 and is a highly popular song that has been covered by various artists.

An interesting point is that after the catchphrase “Stop, time” was decided, Shiseido set out to create a campaign song, which led to the request being made to Yazawa.

The gentle band sound layered with vocals that carry a touch of sadness conveys a sensual atmosphere.

Given its origins as a Shiseido campaign song, the structure strongly evokes images of romantic relationships, which leaves a striking impression.
