DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

Compared to the past, we write and receive letters far less often nowadays.

Still, letters have their own charm, and I think they’re a wonderful way to convey your feelings.

Precisely because of the times we live in, there may be many things that come across better in a letter.

This time, I’ll be introducing songs with the theme of “letters.”

There are many kinds of letters—thank-you notes, love letters, letters to your future self—so there are all sorts of “letter songs.”

Just hearing the word “letter” makes it feel like something filled with heartfelt emotions, doesn’t it?

Since there are letter songs for many different situations, I hope you’ll find a favorite.

A letter with no addresseeTHE ALFEE

It was released in 1981 as The Alfee’s 10th single.

The lyrics and music were written by Toshihiko Takamizawa, and as with the previous single, Sakazaki served as the lead vocalist.

This celebrated song appears on many albums, and its poignant, lonely lyrics—evoking a heartbreaking letter with no recipient—leave a strong impression.

At the time, it was unusual for a man to sing lyrics expressing a woman’s feelings.

The song poignantly conveys the pain of a woman who still has lingering feelings for the man she parted with.
