“PEPPERMINT BLUE” by Eiichi Ohtaki Included in his original album “EACH TIME” released on March 21, 1984. Lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto , Music composed by Eiichi Ohtaki Produced by Eiichi Ohtaki illustration : Hisao Kwada direction : Nobutaka Yoda (English translation of the rough meaning of the Japanese lyrics) You are on a south-facing balcony, gazing sleepily at the sea, bronzed by the sun. The soft curls of your bangs cover your melancholy eyes. The breeze seems to carry the scent of peppermint. A glass of blue soda water swaying under your fingertips. I chose the chair diagonally across from you because you look so good from this angle. Shells sparkle in the water, silent in the depths Yes, I haven't told you the important thing yet I can hear the whistle of a cruise ship in the distance It invites me to travel, but I will not move from here the wind seems to carry the scent of peppermint instead of sweet the days of my life with you seem to burst from this glass of soda I whistle in harmony to your humming of an old song The overlapping sounds of the two of us melting into one and fading away The waves on the seashore are like sand that gently rolls in and out of time I wish we could have loved each other like that forever I wish our hearts were as clear and transparent as clean water When I try to hug you, you run away from my hands while making excuses like “the sun burns too much, it hurts too much”. The wind seems to carry the scent of peppermint instead of sweet A glass of blue soda water is swaying at your fingertips The glass of soda water and the blue sea are moving away from me leaving only the memory of your bashful smile.

日々秋の深まりを少しずつ感じながら、この時季に聴く「ペパーミント・ブルー」もいいですね…。本当に素晴らしい…。まあ、私は季節に関係なく、師匠の曲は色々聴いていますから、全く違和感なしですww…。主様ならではのレア動画…。つべでは初公開の音源にいつも感謝しています…。ありがとうございます(*^-^)…。
この曲を聴くとアロングバケーション以来のニューアルバムということで凄く嬉しかったのを思い出します。
自分は大瀧詠一の甘く歌う唄い方が大好きです…日本はビートルズから始まった悲しい現実が有りますが彼にはエルヴィスプレスリー↔アメリカンポップの流れを継いでくれた歌手です……貴重なポップ歌手でした😂
大瀧詠一さんは残り少ないと勝手に思っている私の人生の同伴者です。
心癒される 優しい声と素晴らしい音楽が私をいつも包んでくれます。
永遠に大ファンです。感謝してます。

(English translation of the rough meaning of the Japanese lyrics)
You are on a south-facing balcony, gazing sleepily at the sea, bronzed by the sun.
The soft curls of your bangs cover your melancholy eyes.
The breeze seems to carry the scent of peppermint.
A glass of blue soda water swaying under your fingertips.
I chose the chair diagonally across from you because you look so good from this angle.
Shells sparkle in the water, silent in the depths
Yes, I haven't told you the important thing yet
I can hear the whistle of a cruise ship in the distance
It invites me to travel, but I will not move from here
the wind seems to carry the scent of peppermint instead of sweet
the days of my life with you seem to burst from this glass of soda
I whistle in harmony to your humming of an old song
The overlapping sounds of the two of us melting into one and fading away
The waves on the seashore are like sand that gently rolls in and out of time
I wish we could have loved each other like that forever
I wish our hearts were as clear and transparent as clean water
When I try to hug you, you run away from my hands
while making excuses like “the sun burns too much, it hurts too much”.
The wind seems to carry the scent of peppermint instead of sweet
A glass of blue soda water is swaying at your fingertips
The glass of soda water and the blue sea are moving away from me
leaving only the memory of your bashful smile.

素晴らしい優しい名曲！さすが山下達郎と竹内まりやの師匠です！
人生最後の時この曲聴いたら多分思い出の日々がグラスから弾けてる多分このフレーズ聴いたら俺の人生色々あったけどそんなに悪くなかった、と思って静かに消えていけそうな気がする
大瀧詠一、山下達郎の系譜は今も続いているのでしょうか？
あいみょんや米津玄師さん辺りでしょうか…
私がspotifyで 大瀧詠一さんばかり聴いてたら マーチンは当然ですが 米津げんしが 突然出てきました。 系譜なんですね😅
@@Nifami 「前の世代からの引用」という点で見るとVaundy辺りも大滝詠一や渋谷系の流れを汲んでいるのではないかと個人的に思ってます
