Released in January 1990, this song is Shizuka Kudo’s ninth single.

The lyrics were written by Goro Matsui, with composition and production by Tsugutoshi Goto, and it can be seen as a track that symbolizes her evolution from idol to mature vocalist.

Its retro sound, reminiscent of Group Sounds and Showa-era kayōkyoku, pairs perfectly with lyrics depicting the tug-of-war between sweet temptation and reason.

The single topped the Oricon weekly chart and ranked eighth on the year-end chart, becoming a major hit that helped usher in the 1990s J-pop era.

It was also performed at that year’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, where her cool delivery left a strong impression.

Recommended for those who enjoy husky, sultry vocals or want to soak in the atmosphere of a nostalgic era.

The title Kurumi, which is “future” spelled backward, symbolizes hope for the future and conflict with the past.

The song’s overall vocal range is quite wide, from E3 to F5, so it’s very important to switch between the quiet sections and the powerful ones.

That said, the tempo is relaxed, so if you sing each melodic phrase carefully, you should be able to handle it well.

Sing with the feeling of pouring your emotions into it, and your expressiveness will improve, letting the song’s quality shine through! For the intricate melodies in the chorus, make sure to lock in the rhythm.

I recommend fitting the rhythm of the melody first—using any syllables rather than the actual lyrics—and then singing it with the lyrics.
