Southern All Stars – Beware of C-Key Words

Let me introduce a pop song about adult romance: “C-chō Kotoba ni Goyōjin.” Here, “C-chō” doesn’t refer to the musical key; it’s a phrase meaning someone who’s glib or smooth-talking.

The song’s storyline portrays the romantic entanglements between a smooth-talking man and many women.

Although the man is depicted as glib, the song’s appeal lies in how you can also sense the innocence and loneliness behind his behavior.

When singing it, watch out for the spots where the key suddenly jumps up.

That said, the overall melody doesn’t move up and down much, so it should be relatively easy to sing.
