ANZEN CHITAI

My 'introduction' to Anzen Chitai happened 10 years ago in Hong Kong.
I was walking in a crowd of Mongkok, accompanying my sister shopping when my ears heard a beautiful song in Japanese played from a small cd shop.
I come near to the shop and ask the shopkeeper what song was being played.
He showed me a cd of 'Anzen Chitai'.
Its cover is in black, with several man standing looking straight seriously.
I do not have any clue of the band, never heard about them.
Even so, I did not need longer time, I decided to buy the cd.
At the hotel room, I played the cd, and instantly falling in love to their music.
It is very rare for me to like the whole songs recorded in a CD, usually only several songs that I really like.

On the way back to Indonesia, we stopped in Singapore. It was my lucky time, I got another album of Anzen Chitai at Kinokuniya.

But today, somehow, I was thinking of Anzen Chitai when the idea to search it thru youtube. And I found it! Please enjoy.





Anzen Chitai is a Japanese band that was formed in 1973 by 5 talented musicians in Asahikawa, Hokkaidō, Japan and debuted in 1982 in Tokyo, Japan. They are considered as the proteges of the "King of POP" of Japan.

ALL BY MYSELF - ERIC CARMEN

My post titled "ALL BY MYSELF - A PLAGIARISM" was commented by somebody from www.ericcarmen.com

The person wrote as follow:
"'When I was writing that album, I was listening to my favorite music which was Rachmaninoff. "All By Myself" incorporated a melody from his 2nd piano concerto as the verse.

I thought that it's a crime that there are some spectacular melodies in classical music that the general public doesn't get exposed to. I thought this was a way for me to bring some of the classical music that I love, incorporate it into a pop song for a new decade of kids, and introduce them to those beautiful melodies that they might not otherwise hear.'

I think he's also said he thought they were in the public domain when he used them, but ended up paying the Rachmaninoff estate. "

I really like the song. The lyrics just blended into it! Watch below - Celine Dion's version!
