Totoko Sugawara, known for her distinctive, wistful vibrato, was called the Queen of Elegy and is also famous as the very first singer to perform on NHK’s Kouhaku Uta Gassen, which everyone knows.

She moved to Tokyo at the age of nine for an audition, where her talent blossomed, and together with her father, the composer Akira Mutsu, she released numerous masterpieces.

Her signature song, “Tsuki ga Tottemo Aoi Kara” (Because the Moon Is So Very Blue), became a million-selling hit in an era when the music market was much smaller than it is today, making her a household name across Japan.

For many seniors, it’s a song right at the heart of their youthful days, so it could be a great choice for recreational activities or background music in senior care facilities.

“Onna no Scorpion,” the 25th single by Kenichi Mikawa, was released in 1972.

It’s distinctive for beginning with the word “iie” (“No”), and it’s one of his most widely recognized songs.

According to one interpretation, the lyrics that start with “No” convey: even if you tell me to break up, my answer is no.

If you think I’m an easy, understanding woman, you’re gravely mistaken.

You may think this is just a fling, but I won’t end it.

You might find it strange, but I’m single‑minded to the point of staking my life on it.

If that’s the intended meaning, it fits remarkably well and feels convincing, doesn’t it? Taking time to savor the lyrics is one way to enjoy a song, so give it a try if you like.
