2:49 When the other two heard him say, "I'm Suzuki Kiyomi," they all lost their composure. "Suzuki Kiyomi" is the older sister of Suzuki Masayuki, who is also famous as a proud soul singer in Japan.😊 Naturally, she has known the band members since childhood, and released a duet with Suzuki Masayuki called "Lonely Chaplin" in the 80s, which is still regularly ranked among the top karaoke duets today.😌 And my favorite song by Masayuki Suzuki is "Yume de Aetara (If I could meet you in my dreams)" ✨🕶

Rats & Star (Did you notice? It's a palindrome 🤭), led by Masayuki Suzuki, is a vocal group that specializes in American soul music, especially doo-wop, which was popular in the 1950s 😌 After the war, there was a group in Japan called The King Tones, who were also called the original Japanese doo-wop and spread doo-wop in Japan, and the Chanels (the predecessor to Rats & Star) were said to be their successors. Nowadays, they are often accused of cultural appropriation, but they originally sang with their skin painted black to show their pure admiration and respect for black music. If you actually listen to the song, you will understand what a deep expression of love it was 🤗
