Southern All Stars -from JAPAN :-)
Led by Kanagawa-born lead vocalist and guitarist Kuwata Keisuke and bass player and background singer Kazuyuku Sekiguchi, the Southern All Stars are one of Japan's top rock bands. Their album Kamkura" sold more than 1,000,000 copies and their many hits include such Keisuke-penned tunes as "Hoshi No Eri," "Minna No Uta," "Sayonara Baby," "Erotica Seven," "Mampy No G Spot," and "Paradise." The genesis of Southern All Stars traces back to a fateful day in 1974, when Keisuke and Sekiguchi met as students at Aoyama Gakuin University. The following year, they teamed with Hara Yuko, Nozawa Hideyuki, Omori Takashi, and Matsuda Hiroshi to form the Southern All Stars. While each band member has released at least one solo album, Keisuke has released six albums of his original songs.
and here's one of my favourite songs...
Namida no kis :-)
Ima suguatte mitsumeru soburi oshite mite mo
Naze ni damatte kokoro hanarete shimau
Nakanaide yoru ga tsurakute mo ame ni utareta hana no you ni
Maji de okotta toki hodo sugao ga itoshikute
Tagai ni motto wakari aeteta tsumori
Ikanaide mune ga itamu kara hoka no dare ka to deau tame ni
Namida no kisu mou ichido dare yori mo aishiteru
Saigo no kisu mou ichido dake de mo kimi o mune ni daite
Itsumo warata omoide darake no futari ni mo
Yokaze ga sotto koi no owari o nageru
Kanashi mi no toki wa sugiru kedo kitto ashita no yume wa minai
Namida no kisu mou ichido dare yori mo aishiteru
Saigo no kisu mou ichido dake de mo kimi no tame ni okuru
Furareta tsumori de ikite yuku ni wa
Dame ni nari sou na hodo kanashimi ga kienai
Namida no kisu mou ichido dare yori mo aishiteru
Sayonara wa kotoba ni dekinai sore wa natsu no sadame
Namida no kisu mou ichido dare yori mo aishiteru
Saigo no kisu mou ichido dake de mo kimi o daite itai
