Description

[Machine Translation] At a time when folk songs were taking the world by storm, the strange song "Let's Join the Self-Defense Forces" became a topic of conversation. It was Takada's debut song, which was typical of his style: "I like to sing about ordinary things while sprinkling spices such as sarcasm and ridicule on top of them. Since then, he has sung aloofly with a glass in his hand for the past 40 years, without pandering to the latest fads. This is the story of the drunken life of folk singer Wataru Takada, who passed away with the radiance of smoldering silver.

Description in Japanese

バーボン・ストリート・ブルース (ちくま文庫) / 高田渡

フォークソングが一世を風靡した頃、奇妙な曲「自衛隊に入ろう」が話題になった。「あたりさわりのないことを歌いながら、皮肉や揶揄などの香辛料をパラパラふりかけるやり方が好き」な高田らしいデビュー曲である。以後、世の流行に迎合せず、グラス片手に飄々と歌い続けて40年。いぶし銀のような輝きを放ちつつ逝った、フォークシンガー高田渡の酔いどれ人生記。
