Fans agree that forgetting lyrics is “Julie-like

Julie” is hot right now.

Every time his name comes up, Kenji Sawada (75) is the talk of the town. This year, too, a New Year’s live concert “Koshin Shizukanaru Iwa” was held from January 12 to 31. Tickets sold out immediately and were difficult to obtain, showing that Sawada’s popularity has not waned, and the venue was filled with excitement every day.

Last year, he packed the Saitama Super Arena to capacity, not only taking revenge for the “cancellation fiasco” of 2006, but also due to the recent Showa-era song boom, Sawada has been the focus of much attention.

On January 4, “Kenji Sawada: The Wonderful World of Kenji Sawada, Must Be Preserved Forever! The Complete Collection of Hit Songs” (BS-TBS), which aired on January 4, featured “Shining! Japan Record Award” and “The Best Ten” (both on TBS), the program featured treasured footage from Sawada’s heyday, including “Shiriji Shyagare,” “Samurai,” and “Darling,” to the delight of his fans from the past.

Sawada, who is now 75 years old, still seems to be in high spirits,

It was the last performance, but he sometimes forgot the lyrics or sang the wrong part of a song, and I wondered what was wrong with him.

I wondered what was wrong with her, and I was a little worried about her health.

It is true that she is not as good as she was when she was younger because of her age, and there are many singers who make mistakes in their lyrics at live performances. But if Sawada, who is regarded as a perfectionist, were to forget the lyrics, fans would be concerned.

That’s just like Sawada-san.” During the GS (Group Sounds) boom that took place in the late 1960s, Mr. Sawada had a unique brilliance. Even after the boom passed, he continued to break new ground not only as a singer but also as an actor, and has remained active for a long time. During the heyday of television, there were many singing shows, and the costumes of the singers who appeared on them became the talk of the town, but he always attracted attention with his edgy fashion.

He was always the center of attention for his edgy fashions, and his sexy figure was the reason why he never looked out of place in any flashy outfits. Nowadays, he has become an old man and has lost his old look. But that’s only on the outside. Nothing has changed on the inside.
