安全地帯 - Friend (English Lyrics + Romaji)

I do not own any of the music or images in this video.
A gorgeous composition by singer Tamaki Koji performed by the band Anzen Chitai, with Tamaki as the vocalist of the group. This song brings out emotions of sadness yet joyfulness as this song has many interpretations, as quoted by Tamaki himself. This song can either mean separation from a loved one or ending a friendship to become something more. Up to you to decide how to interpret the song for yourself, but nevertheless, bask in the beautiful instruments and chords in this song.
I hope you enjoy!

さよならだけ言えないまま２０歳で亡くなってしまった彼。この曲聴くと泣ける。35年経つのにね。悲しみはそのまま。切ない。

[@user-ox6qw4yb6s]

「４分」と言う短い楽曲の中に、凝縮された、切な過ぎる程の、憂いに満ちた感情の波🌊が、美しいメロディーに乗って押し寄せて来て、心の心底に突き刺さる歌声は、涙して聴くしか無く、胸をギュッと★ギュッと★締め付けられる想いで一杯になってしまいます😢😭本当に、日本人に生まれ【玉置浩二さん】の世界観に触れられた事に感謝するしかございません🙏国境を越え、世界中の方々が【玉置浩二さん】を絶賛し、言葉が分からずとも「心」で、その素晴らしさを感じ取り、涙する姿がそこにあるとは★★★やはり、玉置さんは、神がこの世に授けた音神としか思えません🙇また、近年に至っても尚【玉置浩二さん】の楽曲の数々は、全くと言って良い程、色あせる事無く、新鮮で日本語を大切にした曲を作る人が居るでしょうか‼️🙇🙏🤗💕世界に誇る、唯一無二の存在が【玉置浩二】そのものです‼️👍😍💕🤗🌺

Anzen Chitai is one of the best 80s Japanese band. Very nostalgic

[@randyabapo3770]

thank you for posting this. been looking for this so long. i first listened to this when I was 16 years old, now im 43. it was a cassette tape that time that my cousin brought from japan. im not a japanese nor been to japan.i just loved the song though i really dont know the lyrics, the meaning. it just the melody that touched my soul. now thanks really, at last i know the meaning of this song. kudos.

Una hermosa canción y maravillosa interpretación. Pero me llena de alegría que una canción cantada en un idioma tan distinto pueda tocar los corazones de tantas personas que hablamos diferentes idiomas. Amo ver sus comentarios en distintos idiomas. Gracias al Sr. Koji Tamaki y a los maravillosos musico.

I love this music together with Ikinaide!

[@hidetankobu]

I'm not so good at English, but "From this day on, Friend..." has deeper meaning. I think they are married couple or lovers but have to break up by any reason. So from this day on they are not married couple or lovers but the man want to be a good friend with her. This song is elegy of parting.

I am Korean. In the 90s and 2000s, many Korean singers plagiarized Japanese songs. I'm plagiarizing even now. Many Koreans already know this fact. So K-pop is just a subclass of J-pop. That's how great JAPAN POP is.

Kouji Tamaki's voice is very emotional. It's very nice ; -)

[@bibilu2007-man]

安全地帯Ⅴは、３枚組のレコードを持っていました。 今でもアナログで聞くことあります。 ほこりがノイズを拾って、プチという音もありますが、何とも言えないものがあります。 またこの歌をカラオケで歌うと、心も入りフォルテッシモになってしまいます。 マイクなしでも響かせる。この歌のすごさを感じます。
