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.

Chiharu Matsuyama Graduation Photo

As you know, Chiharu Matsuyama is that male singer.

In his cover of “Graduation Photograph,” he makes it his own right from the beginning.

In a good way, there’s no longer a trace of Yumi Arai.

Instead of a grand, sweeping ballad, Matsuyama’s gently and tenderly sung ballad is utterly mesmerizing.
