Saddest part is that she died regretting her career cause she felt she wasn’t good enough… hope wherever she is, she can see the amount of people that nowadays enjoys her music.

Well not exactly. She felt she wasn't good enough *as a wife* , she realized towards the end of her life that she really should've cared more for her family than her music career which is the real reason why she regretted her career

she's not regretting his career, her regret was she too focus working on singing and forget doing another things outside singing...

This piece has left an exponentially growing ripple in the music industry, although she died thinking she was a failure, she was truly an idol to a lot of people.

This song was released in 1979, so she must have been 20 years old at the time. She died of cancer in 2004 at the young age of 44.

one thing I learned from listening so much Japanese pop/ rock music, is this underlying melancholy. It's not sadness per se, but kind of an " look at the way life is" that they have as a society. Here we look at society as something we need to do the best to ensure It's not going to forget the most important things, and win against ourselves. Japanese people tend to " accept" that life is the way It is, and only THEN find a way to overcome sadness. At least this Is what I took after watching their culture so much.

Natural disasters like typhoons and earthquakes are a constant reminder of us being so little to the mother nature/world with almost no place to escape to. When (not if) the time of survival hits us, our preferences gotta go out of the window. That doesn't necessarily mean unhealthy, but can go into major depression when it becomes extreme. Music is our way to face our feelings to somewhat make sense.

She was such a beautiful woman, a beautiful singer, and a beautiful soul. One thing that always blows my mind is that I only discovered this song, and city pop in general a couple years ago, but this song feels so familiar and nostalgic, it’s as if I’ve heard it all my life - or in another lifetime even. It’s so magical.

This is not a wife song but a girl who is thinking back a lover who left her almost a year ago. From the lyrics 'Stay with Me, banging the midnight door begged not to go home.....And that season is just around the corder...' Miki Matsubara was born in 1959 and died 2004 at age 43. This song was never a huge hit back when it was first released in 1979, maybe a decent hit and more like a one hit wonder kind a song. According to Wiki, she had been working in music industry from after high school to 2001. I am Japanese and lived through those years in Japan but I don't recall her at all. The song got so popular last a few years - probably the most attention and success it ever received.

City Pop always have an uptempo beat with sad lyrics. They’re not always sad but a lot of them are. You should def react to more. I recommend Dress Down by Kaoru Akimoto, Plastic Love by Mariya Takeuchi, 4:00 AM by Taeko Onuki, and Good Bye Boogie Dance by Anri.

There is a Japanese song by Mika Nakashima, composed by amazarashi, called "BOKU GA SHINOU TO OMOTTANOWA" (The Reason I Wanted To Die). It's a very emotional song, but the lyrics are wonderful too.

もう彼女の歌声を生で聴けないと思うと本当に残念です。素敵なリアクションをありがとうございます。

It's interesting to note that there's something in Miki Matsubara's eyes that sings along with the song and is capable of bringing tears to even those who have done little research on it. It's perhaps the most magnetic song in City Pop.

What a beautiful human being she was... I'm lost in the beauty and sadness of this song... May her soul Rest in peace her music will always be remembered.

Iconic song , it so beautiful

I swear to you I'm not making this up I've heard this song Maybe 50 or more times already in my life and I loved it of course but just now it just hit me in like a really strong way the second verse for some reason I was driving I had to pull over I nearly started bawling my eyes out what the actual hell?? Lol why?? Damn that was very strong this song is crazy. It's like nostalgic but also yearning for the future at the same time somehow that's the feeling I get from this song

I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one fallen for this woman, her voice, smile, and presence are amazing. I've listened to this song hundreds of times and never gets old.

Your reaction couldn’t of been more relevant to how i felt abt the song when i heard the original for the first time You deserve my sub 💙

Time to cry. Miki was diagnosed with uterine cervic cancer, which she kept a secret for a long time from people and carried on with her music career. she battled cancer for 3 years. 2 months before her death, miki wished nobody would listen to her music and said she had regretted her music career as a whole, because she spent her life being too focused on making music and didn't live her life fully enough. miki spent the last 2 months of her life with her family, and later passed away at the age of 44. she told her husband that she wished she could restart her life again and live it more fully.

カラオケでこの曲を歌うと松原さんがこの表情になるのがわかります！ メロディラインが心地よくて笑顔になります( ´艸｀) 本当に大好きです！ 私が小学生になった時のリリースでしたが、当時は知りませんでした。 若くて、お元気な、みきさんを拝見できてうれしかったです。 thank you for your video!

Even after listening to this song over and over and now watching this video I couldn't help but to get emotional. The vulnerability in the lyrics just makes it hard to stay unchanged while listening to this song. Such a wonderful song!✨

This song rarely leaves my head

we have the same reaction when i first hear it full song for the first time. i actually hear it sometimes but only some pieces of it like the chorus or some stanzas, but the time i accidentally listen to it full song, it hits differently. i also got teary eyed without realizing it. I feel you man. it hits emotionally..

Absolute Van Gogh moment. Both artists passed feeling like a drop in the pond, tragically, without knowing the absolute WAVES they made in their scene's. RIP, and long live City Pop. Miki's Stay with me is a standard of the City Pop genre.

i feel you bro, listening to this song makes me feel emotional too, maybe because knowing the background and meaning of this song, and she's like begging someone to stay with her, until the end... man... the feels...

For the record, Miki Matsubara made some interesting harmonic choices using Doric mode on the scale she used. This mode is described as adding a melancholic and introspective tone to the melody, wich might explain part of those feelings we all get from it.

First ever heard this song was Marines, from Hololive, cover, and I'm really thankful because it's a true classic.

-Nerissa Ravencroft- Caitlin Myers also has a version of that song that she translated into English.

When this song was released back in 1979, I was a college kid, who didn't know this at all. In either 1979 or 1980, it did not come into the J-pop yearly top 100. It is very interesting to see this song has now become world famous. This sounds like a lost love song anyway. I would recommend you go next to Tasogare My Love by Junko Ohashi hit in 1979 if you like this type of tempo.

Shocked this reaction didn't come ages ago! So excited though

Whenever I see her or hear this song I just feel like crying, just let the tears fall. She was such an amazing person but her end break my heart. Hope she's in a better place where she's happy and she gets all the happiness.

It was a bit of a blind spot that you hadn't reacted to this song yet😫 Other people have written about her sad life, so I'll give you a little trivia from a Japanese perspective 😌 She was the OP of the anime "Gu-Gu Gunmo" in the 80's under the pseudonym "Susie Matsubara". She is also an anime song singer who released the song “Gunmo-Dokitzz!”😁 …And as was the case with Kenshi Yonezu's "Lemon," I respect your high sensitivity for being able to overcome the differences in language and become emotional even though you are not Japanese😭

Oh really? I'll have to check that out 💯

I grew up listening to Jpop, and the resurgence of the genre in recent years makes me very happy. I'm guessing partially in due to Houshou Marine who does citypop style originals and citypop covers.

We will introduce the evergreen "Chuo Freeway" released in 1976 by Yumi Matsutoya (known as Yumi Arai at the time), who has been at the top of the Japanese City Pop scene for 50 years, from the dawn of the city pop era to the present day.🙂 This song is included in Yumi Arai's fourth studio album, "14th Moon." The title comes from the Central Expressway, which runs west from the center of Tokyo and was built for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. The song describes the scenery of the area around Fuchu City, Tokyo, including the US military base in Japan (fully returned in 1974), the Suntory Musashino Brewery, and Tokyo Racecourse, which can be seen when heading from Chofu to Hachioji on the Chuo Expressway. This song is based on the memories of Yumi Arai's future husband, producer Masataka Matsutoya, when he used to drive her to Hachioji on his way home from work. It was also selected as a theme song for the Studio Ghibli film "Kiki's Delivery Service" released in 1989, but was not selected because it contained specific place names in Tokyo and did not fit with the film, which was set in Europe. Another song by Yumi Arai, "Rouge no Dengon," was used instead. Yumi Arai's "Contrail" is also used as the theme song for another Miyazaki Hayao work, "The Wind Rises" 😌

If she cried on you begging not to leave her....yes, you stay with her. Sadly she didn't stay with us. To me, the lyrics sound like that a girl runs across ex-boy fiend from distance on the street and old memory revives.

I highly recommend listening to KIRINJI - 時間がない (Jikanga Nai) (MV). There are no words to express this MV and the song. I'll just quote some of the comments: "The lyrics are about growing old too fast in a busy world, and the visuals are of a salaryman letting out the youth he never got the chance to express. He's alone, but he's in true form"

Hey Luke, I recommend: Mika Nakashima's "Boku ga Shinou to Omotta no wa". The over simplified story of the song is that Mika went close to deaf in the middle of her career and the composer gave her this song. She related to the meaning of the song very much.

Same thing is for me with 4s4ki - 超破滅的思考 song. When I was just listening to it, it sounds as a cute EDM, but when I read the lyrics (also available in the official video) - oh man... Since then, she became one of 4 japanese singers I actually listen to - 4s4ki, Reol, Daoko and Ado.

I hope you get the chance to react to Evangelion "One Last Kiss", keep up the fun videos!

"80's japanese city pop" is one of those wonderful things that pays off while browsing in YT. Miki Matsubara, Mariya Takeuchi, Akina Nakamori, etc.. great female exponents. (This last one I discovered while reading the manga "Slow Motion Wo Mou Ichido")

Awesome reaction to a Japanese classic!! If you are interested in another emotional discovery in J-pop from the same generation, Yutaka Ozaki is a MUST-WATCH. I found the English-subbed videos of "Froget Me Not", "I Love You" and "Graduation". They are all masterpiece.

Miki Matsubara had cancer for quite some time, and hid it from her husband and the industry until she was taken, wishing she had never gone into the industry and instead stayed with her family.

Finally!

The world of City Pop is lovely. Miki Matsubara, Junko Yagami, Mariya Takeuchi, Junko Ohashi, ANRI and more. 🧡

Citypop is a dangerous genre to get into. Found two brilliant artists, Miki bring one, yet both have been dead over a decade.
