当時、ラジオで聞きましたが その頃はラジオのリクエストっていうのがはやってて 拓郎さんも自分の曲を売り込むために
やりたいことがあるって すばらしいです、いくら田舎から出て来ても もともと東京じゃなくっても やりたいことがあって行動すれば、どこにいたって人間はいっしょ、そのへんの平等性を実践してくれる すごいです。
拓郎のオリジナリティがすごい。

Takuro Yoshida from “Let’s get married” Japan’s Bob Dylan, the top of the Japanese folk world.
folk song era
There was a folk singer named Takuro Yoshida who really took the world by storm.
However, there are still many things we do not understand. It was the era of folk songs, and until then, Ryoko Moriyama and Mike Maki-san, the folk songs she sang on TV, were somehow anti-war songs. Perhaps, due to the influence of America, he felt like a new version of local country music like Joan Baez or Peter Paul and Marie, but maybe Takuro and others came out with “Bob Dylan”. Is it because I was in America?
After all, it’s interesting that it exists, and when you see Baez pushing Dylan, you can see that it’s a new wind.
And I can somehow understand why Takuro-san came out under the influence of that atmosphere.
Takuro has the ability to plan and take action.
It’s amazing how you sing like Dylan’s song.
I feel like she was at that time, when American latecomers started selling anything in Japan.
Yosui Inoue feels like he has a Beatles-like melodiousness, but Takuro feels like it’s Takuro-bushi, but… However, the planning and how to use mind as a folk song pioneer Matome. The power of action is amazing.
At that time, I heard it on the radio, but at that time radio requests were popular, and it seems that Takuro borrowed his friend’s name and sent quite a lot of request postcards every week in order to promote his own songs. I remember saying that my song was played and it was a hit. Even after being well-received, he has a wonderful ability to act in projects such as “Tsumago”, “For Life”, and composing.
After all, I always think that people who have things they want to do are amazing.
It’s wonderful that he has things he wants to do. No matter how much he comes from the countryside, he’s not originally from Tokyo. He is amazing.
Takuro’s originality is amazing.
At that time, there were many people who liked Takuro Yoshida, especially in the countryside, and when it was said that it was popular in Tokyo, elementary school and junior high school students had the feeling that they could not open up because they were behind the trends. It was an era when people would get on board, so it might be pretty easy to do, but that’s a strategy.
I can’t quite understand that part, where? I thought. After all, humans are original and powerful. Capturing the waves of the times is also a talent, and no one can imitate your individuality, so in this area, do you feel like you’re winning?
But Takuro looks good and has a good voice.
I feel like I have enough elements to sell, so I guess that’s the case. I was on a radio program, but when I made For Life Records, I often played shogi with Yosui Inoue on a daily basis. He did, but he must have a sense of responsibility and must also have business talent, so in that sense he must be an amazing person. Also, Takuro-san often says, “I’d rather play an instrument in the background than sing a song.”
Speaking of Takuro Yoshida, is he putting his soul into his singing style?
It’s great that he’s doing his best, and he feels that the song is coming in. Originally, he sings and he is, for example, a singer is like that.
