Nowadays, when you think of a singer from Hokkaido known for his shaved head and sharp tongue, it’s Chiharu Matsuyama.

Back when he still had a full head of hair, his song “Sing a Song” was chosen as the image song for the 1983 “’83 Coca-Cola” campaign and was also used in a commercial in which he appeared himself.

pinwheel

Released in 1979, this song is one of the pieces where Chiharu Matsuyama, who occasionally writes from a woman’s perspective, makes a woman the protagonist.

It transitions from an emotional introduction into a waltz-like 3/4 time that feels like a windmill turning.

Then comes a dramatic 3/4 chorus that really leaves an impression.

Among Chiharu’s songs, the arrangement has a strong Showa-kayō (classic Showa-era pop) vibe.

For karaoke, the key is to consciously contrast the languid feel leading up to the chorus with the intensity of the chorus itself.
