I love this version too, but I’m conflicted now cause I really liked the high pitch version cause I thought that one was the original

[@metalgayrising3912]

The higher pitched version sounds more dramatic to me, while the original is more relaxing and sultry.

２０代前半のころ、それこそレコードが擦り切れるくらい聞きこんでいました。 ジャパニーズ・アダルト・コンテンポラリーの傑作アルバムだと思っています。 耳障りで、雑な楽器音を、不必要に重ねまくって、ホワイトノイズみたいになってる最近の若いJ-popとは別世界の、必要な音しか録音されてない職人芸が、特筆ものの最高傑作です。

“TASOGARE" (Twilight)　 MAI YAMANE Lyrics : Yu Morishita, Music Composition :Kintaro Nakamura Arranged by Makoto Matsushita (AB's) Released on May 25, 1980 (Rough English translation of Japanese lyrics) Can't you see that I'm always there for you? I left a trace of my warmth in your heart I told you that I can't be nice to you all the time for no reason. Words can masquerade as pretenses, so I don't think they're that important. We've managed to keep it together, haven't we? How do you think we've lasted this long? Let's try it again. Just a little more. Trust me again. I don't want to go back to the past even once. You'll understand how I feel and just smile and let me go, won't you? We can't go back to the way we were. A man goes on a journey alone, exposing his heart to the cold wind outside We've managed to keep it together, haven't we? How do you think we've lasted all this time? Let's try it again. Just a little more. Trust me one more time. From her first Album “TASOGARE" Released on May 25, 1980 ( Teichiku Records Japan) Produced by Genichi Kawakami All songs Arranged by Makoto Matsushita (AB's, ex-MILKY WAY) Lyrics :Mai Yamane(2,3,6,8),Yu Morishita(1),Kyoko Matsumiya(4),Kan Chinfa(5),Kazuko Kobayashi(7).

J'ai appris et je continu d'apprendre merci le funk japonais ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Zenkyuu8921]

One thing that I feel people could tap into so much more as rap artists if they spoke Japanese is the specific emotion and topic of the song to bring out more feeling to audiences that don’t speak the language. What people don’t know a lot of the time is that the lyrics aren’t simply depressing. They’re bittersweet with bad feelings and euphoric with good feelings. It’s an optimistic sound in the 80s with music in Japan. More in the 2010s and recent years, it’s a lot more depressing because people are more depressed now, but back then, it was the time of your life. My Japanese professor worked in the same office as one of the most popular Japanese singers in the 90s, and she said the same thing too. I’m telling you, The sounds of Hip-Hop and City Pop can literally change the world with the right words behind the tracks.

I need to ask if someone, if by any chance, feel that this song has the vibes of PS1 game called "Tenchu". I listened all the OST from Tenchu 1 to Tenchu 4 and I confirm there's not a single a City Pop song in the game but I still feel an association with the game. Can't explain it properly why. Composer from Tenchu is Noriyuki Asakura. Don't know who is the producer for Mai Yamane.
