Stripping away showy performance elements, it’s a ballad featuring a rich, heavy low-end.

Kenji Sawada – LOVE (I Want to Hold You) [stage mix]

After a heartbreak, some people may actually feel down but find it hard to show their true feelings.

LOVE ~Dakishimetai captures that kind of complicated love.

It’s a song released by Kenji Sawada in 1987, also known for being performed on the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s a slow-tempo ballad, almost like an acoustic solo, so beyond vocal ability, acting and expressive power are crucial.

Try singing as if you were the protagonist of the song.

It will surely stir the hearts of both listeners and the person singing.
