A selection of Takuro Yoshida’s soul-stirring masterpieces: an eternal, unfading monument of folk music (21–30)
I want to become the wind.yoshida takurou
Takuro Yoshida often uses seasons and nature in his song titles, and that may well be the theme of his life’s work.
I also noticed there are few English titles.
There might be some, but with my limited knowledge I’m not sure.
This song, too, is a moving masterpiece.
If the spring wind is blowingyoshida takurou
It’s a duet with the popular idol of the time, Saori Minami.
Takuro Yoshida is known for his versatility and has provided songs to many artists in addition to performing his own.
You could say he was a pioneer of today’s idol production trend.

A Letter Waiting for Springyoshida takurou
If I remember correctly, this song is from about 30 to 40 years ago.
Among fans, it’s still hugely popular as a hidden gem.
It’s a classic folk song, and because there are no unnecessary sounds, the melody really sinks into your heart and becomes unforgettable.
It’s the feeling.yoshida takurou
It’s simple yet arranged on a grand scale—an outstanding song that goes beyond the boundaries of folk.
You can sense Takuro Yoshida’s breadth of talent in how effortlessly he releases a track like this.
The video also features a beautiful actress, which alone makes it worth watching.
Hiroshima I always used to seeyoshida takurou
The lyrics to this song were not written by Takuro Yoshida; they were penned by the late Osami Okamoto, known for “Erimo Misaki.” I feel it was highly significant that Yoshida, who didn’t sing anti-war songs during the folk boom of the 1970s, released this song after entering the 1980s.
The sorrow left behindyoshida takurou
This was their sixth single, released in 1972.
It’s another quintessential folk song, and its melody—singing of life’s ups and downs and hardships—really sinks in; it’s an outstanding track.
I think people older than me will remember many things when they hear this song.
I also want today’s young people to listen to it.
It might make it in time.yoshida takurou
It’s probably a studio take video from the included DVD.
Only Takuro Yoshida appears on screen, passionately singing with a guitar in hand.
Because of that, there’s nothing extraneous—just the strength of the song itself—which is the appeal.
It’s aimed at fans, but it’s worth it.
