I like this song the most in his repertoire. Three talented musicians have already died in this session. ・Hiroshi Sato(key) died in 2012 at the age of 65. ・Tsunehide Matsuki(g) died in 2017 at the age of 68. ・Shuichi “Ponta” Murakami(ds) died in 2021 at the age of 70. ・Haruomi Hosono(b) has been active take care in the current 74 years old. I'm sure these three are having sessions in heaven by this time. I still miss them. RIP.
“LOVE SPACE”(1977) TATSURO YAMASHITA From his 2nd album“SPACY", Released on June 25, 1977. Music Composed and Arranged by TATSURO YAMASHITA Lyrics: Minako Yoshida, (Rough English translation of Japanese Lyrics) Splattering Love Crush It will reach you soon. It drags its tail (like a comet) and runs through the Space. Until the time when the city merges into one with the night sky The Unchanging Twinkle of the Stars It decorates all for our love Once I grab you, I won't leave you. The two of us are going to fly as high as possible into space. It drags its tail (like a comet) and runs through the Space. The two of us can fly to the ends of the universe.

My Japanese language is not really good (so many kanji I can't read), so I'm assuming that this is a cover of the original song. If that's true, I would say that this is really good! I want to see the band's performance.
The legendary Japanese guitarists; Tsunehide Matsuki and Kenji Ohmura unfortunately passed away some years ago. They were the top guitarists who inspired many young people. We will never forget them.
