Sparklers / Track from 'Kikyōrai' # Masashi Sada

Flying Plumsadamasashi40rank/position

Dazaifu Tenmangu, Tobiume, Masashi Sada

This song, Tobiume, is included on Masashi Sada’s 1977 album Kazamidori.

Set at Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine in Kyushu, it looks back on a past romance.

The title Tobiume comes from the name of a plum tree—the sacred tree—at Dazaifu Tenmangu.

While love feels fun and full of happiness at first, the song gently conveys the growing ache as the couple’s feelings start to miss each other and something begins to feel off.

If you’re familiar with Dazaifu Tenmangu, it’s a song that will surely bring its scenery to mind.

October ~Lily Casablanca~ Masashi Sada

Ever since his debut and even now, Masashi Sada has enjoyed overwhelming support.

When it comes to his poignant songs, “October ~Lily Casablanca~” stands out.

It’s a very simple piece centered on piano and vocals.

The lyrics, which recall a past lover, express feelings just as they are.

The unforgettable ache captured in the words, his beautiful voice, and the delicate piano are a perfect match.

It’s a classic that brings back the slightly lonely days of October spent with someone dear.

Parody of ‘Kanpaku Sengen’: ‘Koki Sengen’ (Seventieth Birthday Declaration)sadamasashi42rank/position

Koki Declaration — Parody Song “Kanpaku Declaration” OZSONG.88

Let’s try singing a parody of Masashi Sada’s massive hit.

Here’s an idea for “Koki Sengen” (Seventieth-Birthday Declaration), a parody of “Kanpaku Sengen” (The Regent’s Declaration).

While “Kanpaku Sengen” is characterized by lyrics that demand a husband’s authority yet reveal weakness and dependency, expressing clumsy affection, “Koki Sengen” humorously sings about things that may happen in the life ahead—messages to share before reaching one’s seventieth birthday.

Some of you might even feel, “Hey, this is about me!” Give it a try and make it your own.
