Kaze Theater (Remastered 2022)

This song is included on the 14th album, Tokyo Night, released in 1986.

It’s a medium-tempo number with a sweet melody.

The upbeat lyrics, right in the middle of the bubble era, really evoke the times.

The lyrics tell of someone who’s been stood up by his girlfriend at a hotel and has been waiting for two days, wondering where she might be now.

The depiction of the jet lights seen from the hotel terrace feels like a scene lifted from a film, conveying a poetic beauty and a sense of storytelling.

Enchanting Makeup (Remastered 2022)

This song is included on HEART, the 21st studio album released in 1993.

The lyrics were written by Tetsuya Chiaki, who has worked on many Yazawa songs.

It’s a rock ’n’ roll number with a lavish stadium sound.

The album came out around the time he was appearing in BOSS commercials that became a hot topic, and shortly after he starred in the drama “Ari yo Saraba,” marking a period when his household name recognition surged.

Maybe it’s precisely because he’s the legend of the rock world, Yazawa, that he can sing a song that asks questions like this.

Office workers do live in a competitive world and may be under control in some ways, but there are reasons why they can’t just quit so easily.

Still, to blow off steam, listen to Eikichi and think, “If I really want to quit, I’ll quit!”

ROCKIN’ MY HEARTYazawa Eikichi79rank/position

A cool, mellow slice of West Coast rock that blends into the flowing scenery of the nighttime highway.

Despite its sophisticated sound, it sings of the loneliness and longing of a city dweller thinking of a lover far away.

You can picture the glittering city lights only heightening the sense of solitude.

Released in October 1982 as the 13th single, it was featured in a commercial for a Pioneer stereo system and became widely known.

It was also released in the United States, earning high praise from Billboard magazine—a song that symbolizes Eikichi Yazawa’s challenge to take on the world.

Rendered in a light, witty poetic touch, it portrays a man who betrays his beloved and descends into the sweet trap of an affair, and expresses—through stylish sound—the story of a hot yet fragile bond with a poisonously alluring woman.

This masterpiece is Eikichi Yazawa’s “SOMEBODY’S NIGHT,” released in 1989.
