This song is included as the first track on the B-side of the second original album "Ningen Nante" released on November 20, 1971. At the time, Takuro Yoshida was living in an apartment next to Myohoji Temple in Koenji, and after drinking in Shinjuku, he came home and listened to a James Brown ballad. It was a strangely melancholic night, and he suddenly wanted to write a song that would touch people's hearts, so he picked up his guitar and wrote it in one go using the chord progression that he was into at the time. A remake version was included on the 1976 album "Ashita ni Mukaide Hashire". This was arranged by Masataka Matsutoya. Lyrics and composition: Takuro Yoshida (Yoshida Takuro at the time) Arrangement: Kazuhiko Kato "Kekkon Shiyouyo" from this album was a big hit. This marked the transitional period from the underground anti-establishment folk music centered on the so-called Kansai folk music to the establishment of the folk music genre, which eventually moved to new music. This was the era when Shigeru Izumiya, Yosui Inoue, Kaguyahime, and others began to sell well. It's sad, isn't it? We're all the same. We're facing the same night. When I walk alone in the wind, the dead leaves whisper on my shoulder. These lyrics at the beginning make me feel a little relieved, thinking, "Are we all the same?" Even the great Takuro can feel sad sometimes, and compared to the loneliness that Takuro felt when he first came to Tokyo in the name of his determination to "make a living through music," I think that the loneliness I feel is nothing. People's hearts are warm. I want to touch them again tomorrow. I'm just talking to myself. Don't pay attention to it. Sometimes I think this, but when tomorrow comes, I close my heart as usual. Here, he says, "People's hearts are warm." And he says that he wants to touch people's warm hearts again tomorrow (I want to be comforted, I want to be treated kindly, I want to be healed). Perhaps this is where the true feelings of humans come out. At the end, it says, "When tomorrow comes, I close my heart as usual." Perhaps these feelings are commonplace, and he suppresses his true feelings every time and closes his heart. Perhaps it is because he is strong that he knows his own weaknesses. But I still choose to be alone. Living makes me wonder, "Why is this so sad?" #Why is this so sad? #Ito Sari
