Which platform is for the train to Osaka?yoshida takurou
A medium-tempo tune whose lyrics, depicting the transience of life and love, gently sink in.
It’s included on the classic 1984 album FOREVER YOUNG.
While the song has a sentimental yet bright atmosphere that wraps around you, and it may seem very easy to sing, in reality its wide vocal range and sharp rises and falls in pitch make it quite challenging.
Even so, the confessional style of singing feels approachable, and with a bit of teamwork among fellow fans or friends, it can become easier and more fun to perform.
It’s a song that can strengthen bonds and inspire the feeling of taking a fresh step forward!
