I linked to this song once before back in 2008. But that was just as a "link of the day", and not as a full post. So I thought I'd give it its own separate post, and add it to my "Sharing Music I Like" project.
This is a 1971 song by the band Off Course. It's a pretty obscure song even within Japan. The band "Off Course" was famous (Wikipedia article HERE) but this wasn't one of their bigger hits.
Nevertheless, I stumbled upon it while listening to a compilation album for Off Course, and I fell in love with it.
To quote myself from 2008:
This is perhaps my favorite Japanese song ever (in so much as it is possible to have a favorite song, since it always depends on your mood at the time.) Yoyake o Tsugeni by Off Course.
I have this song on one of my mixed tapes, and it's one of those songs where when I'm driving, I'm constantly stopping the tape and rewinding so I can hear it just one more time.
