To the Sky（SORA E）/Carmen Maki _Maki Annette Lovelace Lyrics by Tsuyoshi Kajiki, Music composed by Hirofumi Kasuga (English translation of the rough meaning of the Japanese lyrics) Like a cloud floating vaguely in the sky From the time when I wanted to wander the wide sky too Your singing voice whispering from afar has always supported me Someday, I'll surely fly high in the sky like you You sing that “you should live your life the way you like” Your blues sing so from a worn out record “It's no one's fault that you were born without a clear purpose” I was following in your footsteps, searching for my dreams with my hands Your singing song from afar has always supported me Someday, I'll surely fly high in the sky like you I'm sure that tomorrow I'll be flying high in the sky just like you 〇Carmen Maki / Maki Annette Lovelace Maki was born in Kanagawa Japan in 1951. Her father is American and her mother is Japanese. In 1969, age 18, she made her debut as a solo singer in Japan with "Sometimes Like a Child Without a Mother" (lyrics: Shuji Terayama, music: Michiru Tanaka). It suddenly became a million hits in Japan, and she participated in NHK's KOHAKU annual song contest at the end of the year,and she became famous singer in Japan. But next year in 1970, she declared turn to Rock Singer, and next in 1971 she released an album "Carmen Maki / Blues Creation" with "the Blues Creation" led by guitarist Kazuo Takeda. The collaboration ended with the release of only one album. On this album, she made it clear that she was a Rock Singer, not a folk singer. In 1972, she met guitarist Hirofumi Kasuga who was 18 years old at the time and formed "Carmen Maki & OZ". Three years later, they released their first album in 1975, their second "Closed Town" in 1976, "Carmen Maki & OZ III" in 1977, disbanded in October 1977, and released their live show as "Carmen Maki & OZ LAST LIVE" in 1978. The OZ’s first album attracted attention due to Maki's name recognition in Japan, singing ability and charisma, and became an unusual million hit for a Japan rock album of that time. OZ played more modern rock in the 70's than “Blues Creation”, with heavy, hard, and progressive songwriting rather than the sound of Kazuo Takeda's blues-rock tendencies, partly due to Hirofumi Kasuga composition. It's surprising that OZ was already born in Japan before the NWOBHM movement and Metal genre were born in the World. It was very unfortunate that they couldn't have the opportunity to be released in Europe and the United States, for world market at that time, ended up buried only in domestic sales Japan. In Japan Maki has continued to influence the power vocal styles of later “Show-ya / keiko Terada” and current Japanese female Metal Bands Vocal style. Keiko Terada is a fan of Carmen Maki, and their song “I am storm / ARASHI” is a famous answer to OZ's “I am wind/ KAZE”. “Japanese Female Metal Rock history has Started with the arrival of “Queen” Carmen Maki..”
空へ captured me from the first hearing. Her voice is divine. Unfortunately I can't find the lyrics so I don't know what is about. This is the LP version. Thank you for your comment Mr. Muramatsu
年のせいなのか、これを聞いて泣けてきました。
あなたのコメントに感動しました。この世界にはあなたのような人が必要です。🙏
中学生のころ、ロックに目覚めた私が母に「これ買って」とねだったのが、「私は風」が収録されていたアルバム。
「時には母のない子のように」のカルメン・マキのつもりで買った母は、いきなり大音響で「私は風」が流れ始めたものだから、肝をつぶしました。
でも、自分で買ってやった手前、何も言えず。マキさん、素晴らしい！
美しい思い出！
共有してくれてありがとう! 🖖
@@akaHako 今はこの曲をカラオケで熱唱すべく、練習中です。
@@晶子黒田 うわー、それはとてもエキサイティングです！
幸運を！🎤🙏
@@akaHako 月一で顔を出す居酒屋さんの息子さんが日本人としては珍しいファド歌手で、キーの調整はお願いしています。本場ポルトガルでも評価が高く、ファンが沢山いますが、このご時世で３年ほど行かれてないようです。
あと常連さんで同年代の女性がカルメン・マキさんのファンで、頑張り甲斐があります。
応援ありがとうございます！
@@晶子黒田 ポルトガル語とその音楽も大好きです！
その情報は私を笑顔にしました:)
ファドを歌う日本人歌手がいると聞いてワクワク！
可能であれば、彼の声が聞こえるように彼の名前を教えてください。
私はあなたがとても楽しいことを願っています!

でも、曲のキーを変える方法がわかりません。
ミュージシャンがあなたを助けることができると思います

Lyrics by Tsuyoshi Kajiki, Music composed by Hirofumi Kasuga
(English translation of the rough meaning of the Japanese lyrics)
Like a cloud floating vaguely in the sky
From the time when I wanted to wander the wide sky too
Your singing voice whispering from afar has always supported me
Someday, I'll surely fly high in the sky like you
You sing that “you should live your life the way you like”
Your blues sing so from a worn out record
“It's no one's fault that you were born without a clear purpose”
I was following in your footsteps, searching for my dreams with my hands
Your singing song from afar has always supported me
Someday, I'll surely fly high in the sky like you
I'm sure that tomorrow I'll be flying high in the sky just like you

thank you! 🙏🙏🖖
この歌は、神を感じ阿弥陀如来を感じた歌なのかも、、、。😊
お前では無く実は御前
おんまえかも、、、。
一瞬一瞬の感情を私は受けとる、、。
30年以上前にマキさんを知るきっかけの曲です。その後、あの『私は風』に衝撃を受けるのですが、齢半世紀を越えた現在では『空へ』は前向きな気がします。
ちなみにこれはＳＰヴァージョンかな？
