Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 28, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2021 Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi - Ippiki No Samurai (Lone Samurai) Inventor of and Japan's leading purveyor of "yakuza music". Basically country rock with lots of macho lyrics about "the life", i.e. violence, revenge, bravery, etc. It's frequently joked that most Japanese women hate Nagabuchi, because they've all had an ex at some point that was a massive fan of his. (I'm guessing my exes are no different.) Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Lowering the mood a little with ultra depressive Russian post-punk(?), Roman Sidorov had a few equally despairing projects that went seemingly unheard until his suicide in 2003.

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted March 28, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted March 28, 2021 No love for Jacques Brel? He did some great stuff, a fair bit of which was adapted into English. I'm particularly keen on Le Moribund, which was translated into Seasons In The Sun, and lost all sense of the original's tone and meaning https://youtu.be/h02pNUKInBo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Is a dead language considered 'foreign'? What a tune though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted April 1, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 1, 2021 (edited) Half that song's in French, though, so it wouldn't matter. But Latin's not 100% dead anyway. And yes - fuggin' classic. Edited April 1, 2021 by Carbomb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
