“Kanashikute Yarikirenai” by The Folk Crusaders

“Kanashikute Yarikirenai” is the second single by The Folk Crusaders.

It was released in 1968.

Because “Imjin River,” which had been slated as the second single, was pulled from release, this song was created to take its place.

It is said that Kazuhiko Kato composed it by connecting the chords of “Imjin River” in reverse.
