Beyond the Goodbye

Momoe Yamaguchi, the legendary songstress who blazed through the idol scene of the 1970s.

Released in August 1980 as her 31st single, this work is an eternal ballad that mirrors her feelings just before retirement.

The beautiful melody by the golden duo of Yoko Aki and Ryudo Uzaki, along with lyrics that convey gratitude and a resolve for the future, truly move the heart.

Her final act at the Budokan concert in October 1980—singing this song last and laying down the microphone—is famously iconic.

Also included on the album “Legend of the Phoenix,” it seems to reflect her stance of saying farewell while continuing to live on as a legend.

Listening to it during spring farewells or when taking a new step forward can inspire a quiet courage.

It is an unfading masterpiece, passed down and sung by many artists.
