Original Song Lyrics by Yu Aku The lyricist who made a name for himself with hits like "Toki no Sugiyuku Mama ni," "Kita no Yado Kara," "Seishun Jidai," "Atsuki Kokoro ni," and Pink Lady, has accomplished the feat of writing 100 lyrics all at once. This is a new challenge for the author, who has been creating words that capture the times, and a practical theory of song lyrics is being told. The "lyrics" are now revived and shining.

I am constantly amazed by the talent that produces such lyrics one after another. Published in 1997. Kayokyoku (Japanese popular music) had become J-POP, and it was probably no longer the era of Yu Aku. 100 original writings. They come at you rhythmically, with impactful words. You can feel the dilemma that the hit songs of the time were quite different from what he had created, and the frustration that he was no longer in a world where he could express his creativity, even if it couldn't be helped.
