Alice [ALICE LIVE ALIVE 2009] (5) Farewell to the Days of Youth

Alice, the folk group that stirred up Japan’s 1970s music scene with their distinctive musicality.

Their 10th single, “Saraba Seishun no Toki,” released in 1977, can rightly be called a masterpiece that resonates deeply with men in their 50s.

With lyrics and composition by Shinji Tanimura, the song conveys profound emotion and a strong message, depicting the end of youth and the hope of a new beginning.

A powerful sense of moving forward without looking back permeates the entire piece.

It’s also a song often performed with audience participation at live shows, so the vocal lines in every part are simple.

Give it a try.

This is a song by the folk group Alice.

It conveys a calm atmosphere centered on acoustic guitar.

You can fully enjoy the group’s hallmark powerful harmonies by Shinji Tanimura and Takao Horiuchi in this track as well.

The lyrics, which seem to depict the emotions surrounding a departure, are striking—along with a sense of loneliness, you can also feel the resolve to set out.

The powerful voices of each singer overlap to create a remarkable harmony.

Each AutumnArisu14rank/position

Each Autumn

Alice, known for their wide range covering pop and rock, delivered this song that leans more toward confessional, novelistic folk.

I think many people would say this is their favorite.

The arrangement features Hiromi Yasuda—who has worked on songs by Yosui Inoue and Miyuki Nakajima—and, incredibly, the one and only Katsuhisa Hattori.

That’s quite a lineup! The lyrics, recited calmly as if reading a novel, prompt the listener to recall the ups and downs of their own life.

It feels like a paradoxical kind of encouragement: “Life isn’t all fun—but…” How do you feel about it? It’s an Alice classic that comes to mind when autumn arrives.
