Jpop Recommend #159 Missing by Toshinobu Kubota

missing　


久保田 利伸 Toshinobu Kubota


Released in September 1986, this song was originally recorded as a one of the songs in his first album, "SHAKE IT PARADISE".  But this song became one of the best known songs for this unprecedented great singer.

 This is a love song about an extramarital affair.  But his sweet voice and the tune sounds like a true love song of a man's one-sided love.

Your wavering eyes was telling me

I have been in love many times that only made my heart jump
こんなに切ないのは きっと初めてなのさ

But I've never been in love that made my heart ache so badly

Wrapped around the color-changing sky
