“Onna no Scorpion,” the 25th single by Kenichi Mikawa, was released in 1972.

It’s distinctive for beginning with the word “iie” (“No”), and it’s one of his most widely recognized songs.

According to one interpretation, the lyrics that start with “No” convey: even if you tell me to break up, my answer is no.

If you think I’m an easy, understanding woman, you’re gravely mistaken.

You may think this is just a fling, but I won’t end it.

You might find it strange, but I’m single‑minded to the point of staking my life on it.

If that’s the intended meaning, it fits remarkably well and feels convincing, doesn’t it? Taking time to savor the lyrics is one way to enjoy a song, so give it a try if you like.

The song, which sings of a blazing love lasting only a single summer, has since been covered by many musicians.
