The Mysterious Relationship Between Music and Law
Recently, while discussing music with friends, we brought up the topics of Seiko Matsuda and Momoe Yamaguchi. Personally, I have a special connection to Seiko Matsuda’s songs. I remember studying diligently
during my student days while listening to her “Akai Sweet Pea.” The melody and lyrics provided me with a great sense of strength at that time.
A Memorable Song
The song that stands out the most to me is “Aoi SangoshÅ.” Whenever I hear that song, it reminds me of summer by the seaside. There was a time when I went to the beach with friends, and we sang this song at karaoke. Everyone joined in for the chorus, creating an atmosphere like a concert. That moment is a treasure for me.
Encountering Momoe Yamaguchi
As for Momoe Yamaguchi, I find her songs to be incredibly beautiful. Although I wasn’t a fan, “Ii Hi Tabidachi” particularly resonates with me. During a university class where her music was discussed, the professor passionately spoke about her life and dedication to music. It was then that I first realized the depth of her artistry.
