70년대 초반 부르라이트 요꼬하마가 한국에서 상당히 인기 있었다. 또한 마에가와 기요시 구르 파이브의 長崎は今日も雨だった 도 상당히 인기 있었지만 - 물론 60년대 말 곡들 이지만 -그건 NHK등 일본 칼라 방송이 잘 나왔던 부산 한정 이었을 수도 있겠고..... 아이러니 한게 이제는 한국의 K Pop이 오히려 일본에서 인기 있다 는 것이다...시간이라는게 참 웃기기도 하고 아이러니 하기도 하다...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Takuro Yoshida / Let's Get Married (KEKKON SHIYOU YO) Released on January 21, 1972 / CBS Sony Japan Words & music composed by Takuro Yoshida / Arranged by Kazuhiko Kato(ex‐SADISTIC MIKA BAND) (English translation of the rough meaning of the Japanese lyrics) When my hair reaches my shoulders and it's the same length as yours We'll get married in a church in this town like we promised. MMMM I'll bring my old guitar and let it play for you When we see the white chapel, we'll invite all our friends to the ceremony, And we'll get flowers from all of them. We,Let's Get Married (Kekkon Shiyou yo) MMMMMM Soon spring will be here with paint on his shoulders, he'll be strolling through a field of flowers to paint it full of colors And you'll open the window and laugh at me, showing me your dimples, And I'll come and snatch you away. We,Let's Get Married (Kekkon Shiyou yo) MMMMM When the rain stops and the clouds part the sun shines brightly I'll be so happy I'll pat my knees We,Let's Get Married (Kekkon Shiyou yo) MMMMM I'll wash the green shirt we bought together And hang them out on the balcony of my house We'll get married, won't we? (Kekkon Shiyou yo) My hair will soon reach my shoulders Takuro Yoshida is a Japanese singer-songwriter born in Kagoshima Prefecture and raised in Hiroshima City. He is one of the pioneering Japanese singer-songwriters, who, in the early 1970s, took folk and rock music from minor to major in the Japanese pop music scene. In April 1970, he was hired by the independent label Japan Elec Records as a contract employee. Although his musical activities were like a continuation of his amateur days, his songs in the style of playing and singing with a single guitar won the support of the core youth of the time, and he gradually became a charismatic figure of the era. There were many singers at that time who were called "Japanese version of Bob Dylan," But Takuro Yoshida was the one who was the most suitable in both name and reality for his musicality, messages, presence, and influence. In January 1972, he moved to CBS Sony Japan and signed a contract as an artist and producer, making his major label debut. Upon the move, he released this song "Let's get married (Kekkon Shiyou yo)" in 1972, which suddenly became a big hit in Japan, reaching No. 3 on the charts and selling over 400,000 copies, making him one of the most famous folk singers in the country at that time. .
