I don’t buy lottery tickets.RC sakuseshon
RC Succession is a rock band formed around Kiyoshiro Imawano.
Even those who aren’t music fans have likely heard their countless classics, led by “Ameagari no Yozora ni.” This is their debut single, released in March 1970, where it all began.
Set to an acoustic sound, it delivers a simple yet powerful message that the greatest happiness is a love that money can’t buy—one that truly resonates.
Though rooted in their early folk style, it hints at the R&B-infused, soulful cries that would later define their rock sound.
The track is also included on the best-of album “KING OF BEST.” When you’re feeling a bit worn out by materialism, this warm song invites you to reflect on what it means to have a rich heart.
