Do whatever the hell you want.sawada kenji

This is Kenji Sawada’s “Do As You Please,” released in 1977.

Even among younger generations, many people probably know this song.

It’s one of Sawada’s signature tracks.

The rugged “manliness” suggested by the title is richly woven into the lyrics as well.

It’s a refreshingly straightforward breakup song from a male perspective, with no lingering attachment or trace of self-pity.

Miss youHoshino Gen

The chord progression is stylish, and it’s a very pleasant ballad to listen to.

Endings and farewells with people are sad, but as Mr.

Hoshino says, they can also be the beginning of something.

So it carries a message to look forward positively and do your best.

The lyrics Mr.

Hoshino writes aren’t straightforward, so they make you think deeply in some way.

The lyrics say it’d be nice if, someday, we could laugh about having argued and not being able to be honest.

If only we could turn a heartbreak into nourishment for life like that.
