Miyuki Nakajima - Shiawase Shibai (Happy Play) Cover by XXkurage

A song written specifically for Junko Sakurada, who was both a singer and an actress.

It conveys the bittersweet feelings of a woman who, though she has a gentle man who indulges her whims, realizes that she is the only one who harbors romantic feelings.

The title reflects the fact that the happiness was felt only by the woman, while the man was merely playing along as if performing in a play.

I’m totally head over heels for you.Nakajima Miyuki79rank/position

Miyuki Nakajima – Bari Horetónze (Deeply in Love) Cover by XXkurage

This is a song by Miyuki Nakajima that portrays the fiery Hakata woman as imagined by people from other regions.

The slightly hard rock–like arrangement seems to stoke that heat.

The lyrics contain many voiced consonants, which give the song even more drive.

In any case, it’s a song that conveys an unstoppable surge of infatuation.

a gentle woman

A gemlike ballad by Miyuki Nakajima, included on the single “Yūwaku” released in April 1982.

The song portrays a woman who wears the mask of kindness, fears loneliness, yet carries herself with poise.

Its melancholy, piano-centered melody overlaps with the quietly aching truths she keeps inside, resonating deeply in the heart.

The piece was later covered by Yoshie Kashiwabara.

It’s the kind of song that, when listened to on nights when you find yourself putting on a brave face to fit in, can make you feel as though your emotional armor is being gently removed.

Rouge - Miyuki Nakajima [cover]

A song written for the singer Chiaki Naomi.

It portrays the mindset of a woman who followed a man to the city and, little by little, loses her initial innocence, becoming a worldly, mature woman.

While feeling some resistance to turning into such a woman, she still puts on her rouge to get through each day—a song that conjures the image of such a woman.
