Your Past ~ Miyuki Nakajima ~ Cover

Memories are beautiful for everyone, but for those who have a partner, there are times when you don’t want to hear about your loved one’s past, yet you can’t help being curious.

Especially if you’re compared to someone like their first love, some people might think there’s no way to win if you’re measured against time that’s already gone by.

This is a song that evokes those feelings.

Or is she just putting on a brave face? In any case, it’s a song that conjures up the image of a woman who is charming in her own way.

Released in May 1995 as the 32nd single and the theme song for the television drama “A Homeless Child 2,” which sparked a social phenomenon, “Tabibito no Uta” sold about 1.03 million copies, becoming a million-seller.

Song Journey — Miyuki Nakajima Concert Tour 2007 Digest Trailer (Official)

A song used as the theme for the drama “Juken no Kamisama” (The God of Exams).

It was created when TOKIO, a Johnny’s idol group, asked Miyuki Nakajima to write a song.

The melody has a kayō-rock style similar to “Sora Fune,” also composed by Nakajima.

The lyrics portray a person who, though clumsy, lives earnestly within society.

The words evoke images reminiscent of old-time samurai or the rugged ‘bankara’ spirit.

A song that likens a person’s life to a jersey number.

No matter how famous you become, time will make people forget you, and even vows made with a loved one may go unkept.

In a world full of such uncertainties, the lyrics sound like a proud declaration that one’s own existence is one of a kind.
