We appreciate your understanding. *Onna Desu Mono Naki wa Shinai* (As a Woman, I Won't Cry) by Reiko Yukawa The author's first autobiography, revealing personal memories that have never been told before! Insightful commentary that leads the Japanese Western music scene, and heart-wrenching lyrics. Behind it all, there was always a painful love. A serious love affair while engaged, the men who helped her succeed, marriage, childbirth, divorce—the author's turbulent life, who has been at the forefront of the music industry, is written with significant additions to the highly acclaimed "My Resume" in the Nihon Keizai Shimbun. This is her first autobiography. Confessions of her life that produced "Roppongi Shinju," "Koi ni Ochite - Fall in Love -," "Runaway," and more.

Led Zeppelin went wild in the dressing room. Robert Plant attacked John Bonham. Who does Paul McCartney want to take a picture with? Ringo Starr! George Harrison took it for him. The Beatles wanted security guard armbands. The day after the Great East Japan Earthquake, I received a call from Cyndi Lauper. From Reviews Reiko Yukawa, what a turbulent life! What I paid the most attention to was that Reiko Yukawa was a child of her later years. Born in 1936, before the war, with a father of 51 and a mother of 41, I think it was even later than it feels now. People born to parents in their later years, like the five siblings of Natsume Soseki and Jinsai Ito, often succeed.
