A bluesy pop song that sings of the passion of Naniwa
This album features Osaka-based singer Takajin Yashikin's signature song, "Yappa Sukiyanen," which could be considered an Osaka standard.
His vocals are husky and raspy, and are imbued with a passion that speaks directly to the listener's heart. While his songs are based on Japanese pop songs, they are arranged with strong influences from blues and soul music. In "Yappa Sukiyanen," he sings in straightforward words about his lingering feelings for a former partner, and his emotional singing style resonated with many. This is an important work that established his musical individuality.
