Strange WorldImawano Kiyoshirō

Kiyoshiro Imawano — Strange World

This is a song from the album “KING.” It’s from 2003, but it somehow resembles the current situation and it hurts.

The same circumstances have continued for years without moving in a better direction at all.

I’m lamenting the strange world we live in, where people really just want an ordinary life.

Shogo Kuwata of Southern All Stars released this as his seventh solo CD single, “Shiroi Koibitotachi” (White Lovers).

It has now become a classic winter (Christmas) ballad.

The image of Kuwata singing while playing the piano is striking, but I’ve heard that the piano on the CD recording was actually played by his wife, Yuko Hara.
