Night of 15Ozaki Yutaka

Yutaka Ozaki - Fifteen's Night (with lyrics)

This is the debut single by Yutaka Ozaki, released in 1983 alongside the album “Seventeen’s Map.” It portrays the rebellious spirit and pursuit of freedom felt by a 15-year-old boy, and has long been loved as a song that speaks for the feelings of young people.

The structure, which builds gradually from a quiet, piano-centered atmosphere toward the chorus, evokes a rising swell of emotion.

The relatively low pitch and steady, unbroken lyrical tempo make it easy to sing, and the key is how you pour emotion into it.
