Besides the mentions about Wada Kanako (和田加奈子) (this song's singer and lyricist) and Nakazaki Hideya (中崎英也) (this song's composer), I would like to also shout out to the arranger of this song, Toriyama Yuji (鳥山雄司). He is one of the famous musician, producer, and arranger in the world of Japanese music in the 80s. He works with many artist and released fusion-style albums of his own within the City Pop-era (those songs can be check on RUclips and Spotify). More then arranging, he played electric guitar (Toriyama's guitar cutting sounds and styles was quite signature on his own) in this song as well.
I hope you are all aware that you are listening to one of the greatest pop songs ever made. No idea about the lyrics (yet), but the music, production and singing is just absolutely second to none. Edit Ok, back with a quick Google Translate of the lyrics. Feel free to improve: *Birthday is minus 1* The same today Third BIRTHDAY Favorite cake party Very HAPPY One year younger with him As many as CANDLE Minus 1 for birthday Tonight, two people, pray Minus 1 for birthday Do not turn off the light of love I think everyone Cute little brother "No, it's my boyfriend." I couldn't say very much A little bit BLUE to me HEART, you said Minus 1 for birthday Just between the two Minus 1 for birthday I won't erase it forever Minus 1 for birthday Just one CANDLE Minus 1 for birthday Do not turn off the light of love ---------------- Brilliant, simple and evocative.
Also, in certain parts of this song, you can hear what sounds like influence from Let's Groove, by Earth, Wind and Fire. It sort of begins here 2:25. Or maybe I'm just crazy.
Letra: Hoy es igual para los dos Tercer cumpleaños Mi fiesta de tarta favorita Estoy tan feliz, pero Soy un año más joven que él Estoy tan lejos de él como el número de velas Cumpleaños menos uno Esta noche rezaremos juntos Cumpleaños menos uno No dejes que tu amor se apague Todos piensan en ti Como mi hermano pequeño "No, es mi novio" No pude decirle que no Soy un poco azul Corazón, dijiste Los cumpleaños son menos uno Entre los dos Cumpleaños menos uno No lo borraré para siempre Cumpleaños menos uno Aunque sólo sea una vela Cumpleaños menos uno No apagues la luz del amor Cumpleaños menos uno Sólo una vela Cumpleaños menos uno No apagues la luz del amor Cumpleaños menos uno Sólo una vela Cumpleaños menos uno No apagues la luz del amor Cumpleaños menos uno Sólo una vela Cumpleaños menos uno No apagues la luz del amor
the English lyrics are posted in the comments. The title could be roughly translated as "birthday minus one", which is a reference to the singer having a boyfriend who is exactly one year younger than her
シティポップブームに乗って80年代邦楽の独特の雰囲気の虜にされている現代アラサーです。この曲も物寂しげながらもお洒落なアレンジがたまらなくて、独りでに黄昏てしまいます。アフターコロナはこれを聴きながら華金の夜に繰り出したい。
I think Kanako Wada has the most beautiful voice of all the Japanese singers.
One of The 80's Masterpiece !
I can’t explain how catchy this is
懐かしくて探してしまった。アルバム聴いてたなぁ。
Não importa a nacionalidade os anos 80 era mágico! ❤

I'll add this info to the video description. Thank you!
優しいイントロから始まるメロディーラインは海外でもウケる傾向にあるんだよね。
ズバリ最高.。o○
Gotta love this song, it has a nice groove
0:20 - 0:35 how to sum up the 1980s in 15 seconds :)
Love when the rhythm guitar kicks in at around 0:35 to underscore her vocals.
Gotta love it tho
イントロがデイヴィッド・フォスター調で良いですね
I love this song 🖤
名曲！
This song is dedicated to the Jedi Master,
Obi Wan
. . . is this a reference?
@@questioningespecialy9107 The song is called "birthday minus one", so it's a play on "wan" sounding like "one", and I appreciate it immensely xD
I reread this comment and had a legit LOL XD

I always love this song, it has funny lyric.
6년 전이었나, 시티팝에 입문할 수 있도록 해준 고마운 곡. 지금 들어도 좋음!
My kind of music!

*Birthday is minus 1*
The same today
Third BIRTHDAY
Favorite cake party
Very HAPPY
One year younger with him
As many as CANDLE
Minus 1 for birthday
Tonight, two people, pray
Minus 1 for birthday
Do not turn off the light of love
I think everyone
Cute little brother
"No, it's my boyfriend."
I couldn't say very much
A little bit BLUE to me
HEART, you said
Minus 1 for birthday
Just between the two
Minus 1 for birthday
I won't erase it forever
Minus 1 for birthday
Just one CANDLE
Minus 1 for birthday
Do not turn off the light of love
----------------
Brilliant, simple and evocative.
Oh, I agree. It’s a certifiable gem.
The Google translation isn't very good but from listening to the words I guess it's a song about how her boyfriend is younger than her loool
It's only one candle ~~~~ so cute I love it ❤❤❤
Oh yes...that's the good stuff right there
Finally found it

Blessed song

Hella smooth, slick like butter
No se si esa canción en sí es buena, o solo me gusta porque marcó una época en mi vida mientras la escuchaba.
Letra:
Hoy es igual para los dos
Tercer cumpleaños
Mi fiesta de tarta favorita
Estoy tan feliz, pero
Soy un año más joven que él
Estoy tan lejos de él como el número de velas
Cumpleaños menos uno
Esta noche rezaremos juntos
Cumpleaños menos uno
No dejes que tu amor se apague
Todos piensan en ti
Como mi hermano pequeño
"No, es mi novio"
No pude decirle que no
Soy un poco azul
Corazón, dijiste
Los cumpleaños son menos uno
Entre los dos
Cumpleaños menos uno
No lo borraré para siempre
Cumpleaños menos uno
Aunque sólo sea una vela
Cumpleaños menos uno
No apagues la luz del amor
Cumpleaños menos uno
Sólo una vela
Cumpleaños menos uno
No apagues la luz del amor
Cumpleaños menos uno
Sólo una vela
Cumpleaños menos uno
No apagues la luz del amor
Cumpleaños menos uno
Sólo una vela
Cumpleaños menos uno
No apagues la luz del amor
Amo esta canción 🥰
I plan to make an anime op with this it has that hook
Absolute bop
I can almost tell this was the inpiration when Yasutaka Nakata wrote Ijiwaru Na Hello for Perfume…. The melody is almost identical.
Nice

Oh somehow I never knew who composed this song, I will have to check out his other stuff! thanks for the info

何か、今井美樹の「雨にキッスの花束を」みたいな感じがします。
だけど発売されたのは、こっちの曲が先なんですよね。
ドリカムが歌ってそうな感じもします。
でも、こっちの方が先なんですよねｗ
どことなくドリカム感

Everyone likes good music! Hello from a Canadian 🇨🇦
sound quality sucks
how so?
@@JerryZard I think it’s good sound quality tbh
@@andrewrivera8955 hah i think so too... i am genuinely curious to hear what the flaws could be. i think it came from a 320 kb/s mp3
its either your sound system or your ear
