Vocal coachKubota Mami
After working as a voice trainer at a studio for seven years, I went independent in 2025. To date, I’ve taught more than 300 students. Honestly, I started teaching out of simple curiosity (lol). When I was job hunting, I stumbled across a listing for a “vocal instructor,” thought, “What is this?!” and applied on impulse. That’s how I became a teacher with zero prior knowledge—so I went through more training than anyone and studied a lot on my own. When I started teaching what I’d learned to my students, their responses were really positive, and that’s when I felt a real sense of purpose. As a teacher, I absolutely love those moments when I’m growing together with my students. As for my musical activities, I’ve been playing bass in a wind ensemble since high school and still do. I’ve also performed live in a band as a singing bassist, and sometimes I’m invited to sing as a vocalist only. Through vocal training, I want to keep using my voice and stay healthy and beautiful for years to come!

This song depicts a powerful determination to live each day desperately in order to make a loved one happy.

After being included on the 1983 album “Seventeen’s Map,” it was also released as a single.

It’s said to be a song strongly influenced by Bruce Springsteen, with ideas expanded from Yutaka Ozaki’s experiences working part-time in poverty.

While the emotionally charged, distinctive vocal delivery is striking, the vocal range isn’t wide, so once you grasp the flow, it should be relatively easy to sing.

It’s a song included as the first track on the album “Seventeen’s Map,” which marked his 1983 debut, and is said to have been written in the early period of Yutaka Ozaki’s musical career.

It depicts a boy stepping out into the town, and powerfully conveys the anxiety of an uncertain future.

One of the song’s major appeals is the sense of determination to move forward without being beaten by new places or by adults.

While the phrasing is distinctive, the melody and pitch are straightforward, so aim to sing it clearly while firmly grasping the words.
