“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.

Sharam Q “Single Bed” (Music Video)

A melodious ballad that poignantly portrays the feelings of a man who, after heartbreak, can’t bring himself to step into a new love.

The single bed etched with memories of his beloved now stands as a symbol of lonely solitude.

The simple, everyday happiness they once shared, and the aching longing for someone who has now become distant, tighten the chest.

Released by Sharam Q in October 1994, this song was used as the ending theme for the anime D·N·A² and is also included on the album “Inferiority Complex.” It’s a song that gently supports those who are trying to move forward while looking back on a past love, and those who have experienced parting with someone dear.
