1 commentI really miss Mikki Takashi作曲家の三木たかし. He was the Japanese Hit maker for teresateng.
He composed "つぐないtsugunai,愛人aijin,*別れの予感wakare no yokan and toki no nagareni miomakase時の流れに身をまかせ"etc.
I also performed his "夜桜お七 yozakura oshichi" and "tsugaru kaikyo fuyu geshiki津軽海峡・冬景色" alot.
He also gave me a special award in 1995 when I participated in Nibbei karaoke taikai-American Japanese karaoke awards in Honolulu, Hawaii.
