Kindness Picture-Story ShowMizutani Yutaka
This is the seventh single by Japanese singer and actor Yutaka Mizutani, released on July 21, 1980.
It was the theme song for the second series of the hugely popular drama Netsu Chu Jidai: Kyōshi-hen, in which Mizutani himself starred.
As mentioned, the drama was extremely popular at the time, so as of 2022, many people now in their fifties likely watched it with great enthusiasm.
With its somewhat bittersweet melody and lyrics, it’s a highly recommended track to revisit now, evoking childhood nostalgia.
Enjoy it while reflecting on your own boyhood days.
YAWARAMariko Nagai
At the time, the theme song was sung by top singer Mariko Nagai.
The theme songs for this anime were unusual in that they changed every short cour, and Miki Imai also performed one.
I realize anew how amazing this anime is.
The songs are easy enough for men to sing as well, so why not give them a try?
From Yamato with lovesawada kenji
This was Kenji Sawada’s 24th single, released in August 1978.
It also served as the ending theme for Farewell to Space Battleship Yamato: Warriors of Love, which could be called a landmark in Japanese animated film released that same year.
Now, speaking of Kenji Sawada, wouldn’t you say he’s a singer with an irresistibly appealing voice, rich with distinctive higher overtones? Pay close attention to the low register in the A section of this track.
You’ll notice the pitch of the low notes is solid and resonant, yet the low voice doesn’t get buried in the backing track.
That’s proof he’s producing a proper chest voice.
