The speed at which a suicidal person jumps onto the tracksyakozen
After a decade of activity, the folk duo Yakozen was active in 2009.
Since their breakup, I often hear the vocalist, Pistol Takehara, thriving as a solo artist on TV and radio, but even back in the duo days, his powerful, message-driven style was unmistakable, and his straightforward singing is deeply moving.
There’s nothing false about the way he pours his whole being into those raspy, full-throttle vocals—it’s a wholehearted fight song.
