Released in 1988 as the B-side to Takako Okamura’s 10th single, “Kurisumasu no Yoru” (Christmas Night).

Takako Okamura - Only Son

A track from the debut album “Yume no Ki” (“Tree of Dreams”).

It’s, in a sense, a very Takako Okamura-like, unconventional love song that portrays the bittersweet feelings of a woman who, it seems, had to choose to part ways because the person she fell deeply in love with was an only son—and the various entanglements that came with that.

The gentle, soothing melody is deeply moving.

A track from Takako Okamura’s second album, “A Breeze Within Me.” Despite its cute, idol-like up-tempo melody, the strikingly biting lyrics make it a memorable breakup song.

You can’t help but be impressed by how deftly she portrays such a twisted view of love.

Among her many songs, this one stands out with a sharp, spicy presence.

The protagonist is a woman who can’t quite rejoice in the happy moments with her loved one—a slightly negative-leaning character—making it a cleverly twisted love song characteristic of Okamura.

A classic that represents the early period after her solo debut.
