Hideki Saijo - Season of Love

The debut single by singer Hideki Saijo, who became a top male idol of the 1970s with his overwhelming vocal power and singing ability—so impressive he was dubbed a “belting” type.

Released with the tagline “Wild 17,” the song also drew attention when fellow member of the ‘New Big Three,’ Hiromi Go, covered it in 1975, three years after its release.

His voice, which conveyed both the clarity of a teenager and a maturity beyond his years, made a shocking impact on the pop scene despite being a debut track.

It’s an essential number when discussing male artists of the 1970s, and one that showcases the charm of classic kayōkyoku.
