Another Sunday J-pop time! It has been sunny days and I enjoy the Sun which just makes me happy all the times!! Today’s Japanese pop is one of songs from Noriyuki Makihara. A song called [NO 1] from the album called [Self Portrait] in 2012.

He is a Japanese pop singer-songwriter. Sad story about his was that he was arrested for alleged illegal stimulant possession in 2018 and was sentenced to 2 years in prison, suspended for 3 years. I am sure he will compose wonderful songs again.

NO 1

The lyric and music by himself.
