Self ControlAsaka Yui
A 1990 classic whose highly polished arrangement shines—sitting squarely between the vibe of 1980s hard rock, 1990s visual-kei rock, and the long-running tradition of Showa-era idol songs.
In the early Heisei years, the aftereffects of the American women’s liberation movement still lingered in Japan, making it a time when works featuring strong female figures stood out, and when messages like “believe in yourself” began to proliferate.
It’s a song that seems to reveal the resolve of people moving beyond the frenzy of the bubble era and into the next age.

Inspired by the protagonist Cécile from the film “Bonjour Tristesse,” the lyrics delicately portray the subtleties of human relationships and the process of growing up.
The vulnerability of becoming an adult and the yearning for a love beyond friendship resonated with many.
The song is characterized by a relatively narrow vocal range and a very simple vocal line.
