Wine red heart needs a red wine
Today I’m going to feature another artist from Japan, Anzen Chitai. 🙂
Anzen Chitai (安全地帯, literally “Safety Zone”) is a Japanese rock band that was formed in 1973 by five musicians in Asahikawa, Hokkaidō, Japan. It debuted in 1982 in Tokyo and became one of Japan’s most successful rock bands in the 1980s.
Anzen Chitai: the early days
Members
Koji Tamaki (玉置 浩二, Tamaki Kōji) – Vocals, Guitars & Percussion (1973–present)
Yutaka Takezawa (武沢 豊, Takezawa Yutaka) – Guitars (1973–present)
Wataru Yahagi (矢萩 渉, Yahagi Wataru) – Guitars (1977–present)

Despite frequent hiatus and solo works by Koji Tamaki, the band continued to record and tour. On 2008, Tamaki has announced to his fans about his retirement from music, as well as the closing of the official Koji Tamaki & Anzenchitai fan club, Star. Illness that requires long-term treatment was cited for his decision.
Anzen Chitai 2010: still going strong
But then in 2010, the band make their sudden and surprising comeback into the music industry. Under a new recording label, Universal Music Japan, the band released Anzen Chitai Hits 2010, which includes a remake of their best hits. They also released 2 new singles Aoi Bara and Orange, Aoi Bara single debuted at #9 on Oricon weekly charts. This year, their new album, Anzen Chitai XII was released on September 10, 2011. Subsequently kicking off their national tour that began in September 17, 2011.
After listening so many songs from them, I began to appreciate it more, the powerful voice of Koji Tamaki, the arrangement of the songs. in my pespective, Anzen Chitai has become the Michael Learns To Rock equivalent in Japan, maybe even higher than that.
Of all the songs, Wine Red no Kokoro (ワインレッドの心) is my most favourite song. I never get bored listening to it, maybe because the title itself contains my favourite colour, red. And this song I’m sharing today is the 2010 version, listen for yourself and tell me what you think. 😉
