Rules of the RoadOzaki Yutaka
This is the opening track featured on the 1985 album “Through the Broken Door.” Its driving band sound and densely packed layers of words are striking, strongly conveying a sense of urgency.
It’s said to draw on Yutaka Ozaki’s experiences staying in New York, embedding themes of racial discrimination and economic disparity.
You can feel a will to overcome suffering in both the sound and the vocals.
The melody’s pitch changes are gentle, so as long as you lock into the rhythm, it should be a relatively easy song to sing.
