Yukiko Okada - First Date

[@DuwangKaizer]

Fun Fact: Mariya Takeuchi of the Plastic Love Fame wrote this song!

[@mangarda]

Why is there so much attention to Mariya Takeuchi now? I have always known the legends of 80s Jpop to be Onyanko Club, Yoko Minamino, Seiko Matsuda, Shizuka Kudo, etc. I didn't know who Mariya Takeuchi was, until maybe 2 years ago. Did they use her song in a movie or something?

Okada's manager eventually arrived and took her to nearby kita Aoyama Hospital ja , where her injuries were treated. The reason for the suicide is still unknown.

初めてデートに誘われた純情な女のコの気持ちがよく出てる曲でした。

[@jessepinkmansimp6090]

English Lyrics (I wrote them! based heavily off the translation): You're the guy who's nice to everyone But you asked me out to the movies I'm excited but still doubtful as I barely stand out from the other girls Are you sure it wasn't an impulse? But I'm so excited, WAKU WAKU! My heart is pounding so fast, I can't breathe! I'm so excited to have this chance! You're the one I've been dreaming of Next Saturday... feels like years away! Nothing else is on my mind now But why didn't you choose anyone else? I'm so average, nothing's special about me Everything feels dream-like, a pink haze is surrounding me Because I'm spending my first date with you! The day arrives and I'm stressed as can be At dusk you pick me up and we see a movie We're walking home and I'm so nervous, I'm trembling! People will talk, and there will be rumors If we're lucky, we can be together peacefully When I see you, I get nervous but your gentle smile puts me at ease I'll feel like I've started a new page in my life when I get the chance to confess my love to you It feels almost bittersweet to share this secret with you You'll always be the one from my first date!

Kanye West actually sampled Yukiko Okada on a song titled "Never see me again" :(. One of Kanye's most famous lines from his song "POWER" states "Now this would be a beautiful death.. jumping out the window, letting everything go.." Both of these songs were created around the same time, however, Kanye never released "Never see me again". . I'm glad Ye didn't jump out any windows. RIP Yukiko. ♥

Most Japanese idols from this era had this stare as well, including Akina who tried to commit suicide as well by cutting her wrist when at her ex apartment, for who she brought a house for but he instead married another woman and lived with her at the house Akina brought for him.

Try getting rejected by someone. She was very brave to ask to be in a relationship and she was crushed by the rejection. Poor girl was dedicated and jumped after being transferred to a hospital.

Esta bela música foi gravada antes de 1986!!! Ela viveu apenas 18 anos. NASCEU em 22/08/1967 e MORREU em 08/04/1986. Ela suicidou-se aos 18 anos de idade. Talvez no Mundo seja a cantora mais jovem a suicidar-se em todo o Planeta. Sabemos que o suicídio faz parte da cultura japonesa, um país onde NÃO se admite errar, falhar, um país perfeccionista demais onde até políticos que erram se suicidam. Nós, latino americanos jamais entenderemos esse tipo de cultura de suicídio que é tão comum no país mais moderno do Mundo.

An irl princess! 💗

[@X3lfl3X]

She fell in love with a sound engineer who announced that his wife and himself are to expect a child together on national TV .. is when she was found in the closet crying with wrists/gas.. after this incident she was taken to hospital but was bizarrely let out under the supervision of Hideyoshi Aizawa.. whilst at the sun music building.. I assume the new revelations were obvious to her that her entire world has ended at the hospital, all the things she loved are now gone.. during her time as an idol Sato Kayo was completing school, practicing/staring for The network, also doing advertisements, stared in a drama show and making studio recordings! as well as outdoor appearances .. how is she ever to sleep.... however love was her undoing.. at the age of 18 as a female I believe these times are perhaps the most crucial point in their lives emotionally... I too now 20 years ago lost a great friend who also was at this age... I wish there was someone for Sato when she was going through these times... but she had no one.. She knew what her world was about.. knew what she wanted.. perhaps she was let on.. then lied too. Delicate Flower.. we all miss you.
