(Guitarist Haruo Kubota & Drummer Masahiro Miyazaki, who has supported Mr. Takanaka)

Casual days
pass by
These feelings
that cannot be put into words

The two of us back then
only hurting each other
but
even with nothing
we could live on

And yet
now
already in the wind
the blowing wind
blows through

Don't stop the love
don't stop it just like this
Don't stop the love
just as it is

Don't stop the love
don't stop it just like this
Don't stop the love
just as it is

( Lyrics, Composition, Arrangement: Junichiro Matsukawa Guitar & Vocals)

Don't stop the love Quite a favorite! ↑

❇️This song features Masahiro Miyazaki, who is very active as Masayoshi Takanaka's drummer, on drums, and Koki Ito on bass.
With Junichiro Matsukawa on vocals & guitar and Haruo Kubota on guitar, it's a mature, relaxed sound that has supported the Japanese music scene.
The guitar solo is quite tasteful and cool!
The guitar playing by Haruo Kubota, who has performed with Haruo Chikada and Bakabon Suzuki, and Junichiro Matsukawa is very tasteful.
I feel a different charm in Mr. Miyazaki's drumming compared to when he is backing Mr. Takanaka.

Junichiro Matsukawa, who handles lyrics, composition, arrangement, vocals, and guitar, was born on February 19, 1961. He is from Mie Prefecture. Like Tsuyoshi Kon, he has long hair.
He debuted in 1986 with Sabbrabells.
After going solo, he performed with Junshi Yamagishi, Fusanosuke Kondo, and others, and after various activities, he has been developing recording and live activities as a band member for super-bassist Koki Ito.

Koki Ito also frequently appears in recordings and live performances with Tsuyoshi Kon.
Everyone is aging beautifully and relaxing their shoulders; I think this is what 'mature ease' is all about.

Connect Mr. Miyazaki is not here at first. Why? ↑

They are by no means handsome, but
everyone has taste and
they are cool!

However, only Mr. Miyazaki is different.
He is cool!

Children
of Ama-chan
won't understand
there's no way they could understand

Children
of Jarinko won't understand
won't understand
there's no way they could understand

It's not a children's song

Children who don't know love
won't understand
there's no way they could understand

Children who don't know bitterness
won't understand
there's no way they could understand

Children who don't know taste
won't understand
there's no way they could understand

No matter how cool you try to look in a suit,
sometimes you can't help but chuckle,
and the performance,
finished with both that adult playfulness and
composure, is simply,
just,
tears.

Truly professionals!

I hope everyone stays healthy and keeps going for as long as possible.⚜️

🎵In another song, 'Koi wa Totsuzen,' it's a wonderful sound that feels like mature composure, warm while being sung in a mellow and sophisticated way.
The combination of Koki Ito and Masahiro Miyazaki, a legend who has supported the Takanaka sound, is something quite rare and very good.

Mr. Miyazaki looks like a refined, wonderful gentleman.

Such adults are singing and playing.

It is truly delightful!

Mr. Miyazaki has had a wonderful experience of pausing his music career at 35 to start farming, and then resuming his music career at 45.
Perhaps that is why Mr. Miyazaki's rhythm feels so natural; no matter how intensely he plays, a calm and gentle breeze flows through.
I feel that especially during the Takanaka sound and this performance with Mr. Ito.
But his playing style now is different again.
It's the playing style of mature composure, having gone through both the bitter and the sweet.

Life has its ups and downs, and I find myself thinking that I want to age gracefully just like these seniors.

Watching their smiles, I can't help but think so.

Let's try to be warm, relaxed, and mellow. ⚜️
