Eikichi Yazawa 'YOU' 1996 WILD HEART ver. Guitar Cover

This is a romantic rock number by Eikichi Yazawa, distinguished by a buoyant shuffle beat.

Even knowing he might get hurt, he can’t help but see her—he sings this love that transcends reason straight from the heart, with his signature sexy, emotionally rich voice.

The protagonist’s sweet yet heartrending feelings are enough to make your chest tighten.

Though the song had already been performed at his 1989 Tokyo Dome concert, it became widely known after being included on the best-of album “E.Y 80’S,” released in October 1997.

On sleepless nights when your feelings for someone special are overflowing, listening to this track just might give those emotions a powerful sense of affirmation.

If you’re interested in moody songs, I recommend “Tokyo.” Works like this demand rich expressiveness, yet they tend not to require powerful volume or sustained long notes.

This piece is no exception: it doesn’t call for long tones or big projection.

So even when your voice starts to tire at a second party, you should still be able to sing it comfortably.

Rather than aiming for a pristine delivery, it actually shines more with deliberately husky, slightly blurred pronunciation—give it a try.

You’ll probably be surprised at how young Yazawa looks in the video.

He’s got a great figure and looks really cool.

Many artists are unexpectedly short and not very good-looking, but Yazawa both looks good and has a great voice.

The impressive thing is that he’s attractive even from a man’s perspective.

MARIAYazawa Eikichi18rank/position

A straightforward love song by Eikichi Yazawa, whose powerful yet gentle vocals resonate in the heart.

Released as a single in May 1996, it also became well known as the song for Suntory BOSS commercials.

In July of the same year, an acclaimed album bearing this song’s title, “MARIA,” was released.

This piece sings of a timeless bond of fate to a cherished person smiling in a faded photograph.

It is said to reflect his feelings for his real-life partner, and its earnest expression of love is deeply moving.

Its universal message of love reminds us to feel grateful for those we hold dear.

The third single, released in 1976.

Although it appears on best-of and live albums, it was not included on any original studio album.

This song, a dramatic portrayal of heartbreak, is a poignant love ballad whose repeated arpeggios evoke the nuance of rippling waves.

The sound design brilliantly conjures up the image of an ebb tide along the seashore at dusk.

“Thank You, My Lady” / Singing Eikichi Yazawa_6068 by Daily Gratitude for Nature’s Blessings

Included on the 2012 album “Last Song.” Born in 1949.

A singer-songwriter from Hiroshima Prefecture.

The wet, mellow, tear-jerking guitar tone is pleasing to the ear, and with the slow-tempo groove, Eikichi singing sounds so cool.

Once again, I was impressed by how he’s truly someone who can create his own world even when singing someone else’s song.

This is a mature rock number whose rebellious edge and wistful vocals by Eikichi Yazawa seep into the heart.

Released in September 1988 as his 27th single, the track appears on the London-recorded masterpiece “Accomplice.” It also became well known as the theme song for Ginza Jewelry Maki’s Camellia Diamond commercials.

The lyrics portray a worldview where frustration at being unable to stop someone from leaving mingles with resignation.

That aching emotion meshes perfectly with the sound—brisk yet tinged with a certain dampness—and with Yazawa’s distinctive vocal delivery.
