Tribute to Yutaka Ozaki Japanese legend and writer of I love you
Many people mistaken that the song I love you original singer was Aaron Kwok. I did some searching and found more history to the original singer Yutaka Ozaki. He was Japanese legend
who died of young age of 26 leaving behind wife and son.
Found this posted by a Japanese fan:By taka(Japanese (Tokyo, Japan) - See all my reviews
His name Yutaka Ozaki..
If there may be not some American who know about him. But he have the greatest populality from Japanese youngsters even now. The reason that I wrote "even now" is for that he is not alive. Ozaki passed away in such young age as twenties. The cause have not been known even now, alcohlism, suicide or death by violence..
He had gotten great populality in Japan music scene, however by such sudden death, he became a legendary singer. In those days after he died, the fan's suicide broke, he had the influence so much.
His singing style in live performance was simple with a acoustic guitar only except for some cases. In addition to that, his song words included very deep message, especially for teenagers, the resistance to schools, the contradiction to society, teen's life future or the mean that teen life even.
Honestly, I can not say that he is a great singer on the point of singing well or bad. But one time, he sing shouting, another time sing like wispering or crying. He sing as he felt and thought freely. And by using simple way like guitar only, his singing,sometime crying was conveyed to teenagers heart directly.
I think that everybody is troubled about their life especially at teen age is common thing over the world. If you listen to his cd, at any costs, I wish that you listen to the cd with understanding his words, or the cd may finish just a noisy sound. The half of his charms are his strong message.
Thank you for reading poor English.
