This is the memorable debut single of Momoe Yamaguchi, born from the show “Star Tanjō!” The lyrics were written by Kazuya Senke, with composition and arrangement by Shunichi Tokura.

It was a launch that carried the full weight of expectations as “the big Sony, the big new star.” The refreshing melody that evokes a sea breeze and the lyrics about a 14-year-old girl’s pure feelings of first love are a perfect match.

The moment you become aware of the one you like, the world suddenly looks more vivid—this song brings back that fresh, innocent sensation.

Precisely because this song existed, the shift in her subsequent works toward the slightly darker ‘Aoi Sei’ direction may have appeared all the more dramatic.

This is the theme song from the 1975 drama “Akuma no Yōna Aitsu,” starring Kenji Sawada.

Those who watched the series at the time may find it nostalgic.

The song portrays a deep sense of life’s melancholy and the quiet act of surrendering to the flow of time together with a loved one.

When you want to push forward but your heart can’t keep up, its melody doesn’t force encouragement; instead, it gently stays by your side—a tune that truly resonates.

escapadeimase

In recent Japanese pop music, there’s been an increase in songs that use a lot of falsetto.

Since falsetto isn’t an easy technique, such songs generally aren’t ideal for aiming for high scores.

But Escape is different.

Renowned as one of imase’s masterpieces, this track has falsetto parts that are independent from the other sections, allowing you to attempt falsetto once your voice is properly prepared.

It’s also very slow in tempo, so as long as you can track the falsetto pitch, it’s possible to aim for a high score.
