Writing credits for the song are attributed exclusively to David Sylvian, while instruments credits on the single sleeve are attributed to Sylvian, Richard Barbieri and Steve Jansen, therefore excluding the fourth band member, bass guitarist Mick Karn. The lyrics describe deeply personal feelings. Sylvian has since said to Mojo magazine that "Ghosts" pre-empted the band splitting up: "It was the only time I let something of a personal nature come through and that set me on a path in terms of where I wanted to proceed in going solo."[4]

The song was arranged by Richard Barbieri and David Sylvian using a minimalist approach and sounds influenced by Karlheinz Stockhausen. Barbieri created the odd, slightly discordant synth sound at the beginning of the song, using a Roland System 700. Sylvian on a Prophet-5 synthesizer and Barbieri on a Oberheim OB-X then worked out chords. The marimba part of the song was arranged and played by Steve Jansen.[5]

A live version of "Ghosts" is included on the band's live album Oil on Canvas (recordedin 1982). Japan also performed the song live on The Old Grey Whistle Test on 4 March 1982.[10] The band line-up included Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Rhodes and this new version of Ghosts, allegedly arranged by Sakamoto, remains unique to this performance.[11]

The song was played in episode six in the BBC series of Ashes to Ashes, a spin-off of Life on Mars, and, since April 2008, it has been used in the trailers for another BBC series, Waking the Dead. The song is also featured in the 2008 Norwegian film The Man Who Loved Yngve, and was played extensively in the series 2 premier of the ITV series McDonald & Dodds.

American alternative metal band Deftones released a cover of the song, which was included on the 2011 cover compilation album, Covers. There have also been dance covers by Chris & James in 1997[14] and Tenth Planet in 2001.[15] Both of these versions have been minor hits in the UK.[16]

Australian singer-songwriter Amy Vee released a cover of the song on her independently released 2019 album Same Skin,[17] as well as a live version on her 2023 live album, Live at Lizottes.

There has been a lot of speculation as to whether or not there would be any of Twice's Japanese songs played outside of Japan this tour ever since the girls said they would like to do so. Well, it appears that last night in Sydney, they ended the encore with Candy Pop: =G6uy45doz_k

Anyone who was there in person care to share your reaction to seeing it performed? Any speculation as to how this happened, considering the strict Japanese copyright practices that have typically kept Twice from performing these songs? Any Japanese songs you hope will be performed during other parts of the tour?

My descriptions dont really do justice on UH's lyrics, but the songs are really good. Hikki is a passionate song writer. Her songs have deep meanings, especially during her Deep River album days where her music had a touch of sadness/darkness. I highly recommend these 3 songs.

This song is truly heartbreaking at times. I feel as though this is for someone who's died. The beginning would take place with the loved one in the coffin and he/those left behind longing for a sign of life, for them to not be gone. A missing shoe, an analogy for them, insignificant things like spilled coffee and now dried tears, (he) wants to hear/experience them again, because that would mean the loss hadn't occurred. Even a lie, just to hear (her) voice. There's of course much grief and tears, but in the end (he's) alright. (He'll) always have the memories and is at last able to give a kiss farewell.

K - Only Human - Seriously, this song makes me cry so much. It's something along the line of 'Never give up even though the the outcome might be bad. Keep living your life and your dream because there is always a miracle.

Japanese singer-songwriter Shinji Tanimura, who was known for hit songs such as "Subaru" (Star), which also made him popular in China, died at a hospital on Oct. 8, his music agency said Monday. He was 74.

Aside from popular songs produced by the trio, Tanimura was known for his 1980 solo signature piece "Subaru," depicting a person on a journey who wishes upon a constellation of stars. He performed the song at the opening ceremony of the Shanghai World Expo in 2010.

On the show, Connelly mentioned that the jingle in the ad became a song, which she was asked to sing when she was about 14 or 15 years old. That song is actually called Ai no Monologue, which translates to Monologue of Love, and it was released as a single sung by Jennifer Connelly, with lyrics by Hideyo Hashimoto music by Taeko Onuki, and arrangement by Satoshi Kadokura.

We all have a favorite holiday song, and certainly no lack of choices. But in Japan, it seems, everyone has the same favorite holiday song. And this year, as Lucy Craft reports, it means more than ever.

Ian Condry, who teaches Japanese culture at MIT, says "Sukiyaki" transcended language because it hit an emotional nerve. The song spent three weeks at the top of the Billboard charts in June 1963 and was already a huge hit in Japan before its American debut. But what most listeners in the U.S. probably didn't realize was how it symbolized Japan's return to the world stage.

"1963 was when Japan was returning to the world scene after the destruction of WWII," Condry says. "1964 was the Tokyo Olympics. And Japan's economy was expanding globally and so, in some ways, the song is kind of an interesting metaphor for that global expansion of Japan on the world scene."

"It really is a song about the sadness of looking back, but also being on the cusp of something being better in the future," Condry says. "In some ways, that also helps explain the timelessness of that kind of sentiment."

Japan has participated in the Own Asiavision Song Contest 28 times since making its debut in the first edition. The country won the contest twice: in the fourth edition with the song "Pick Me Up" by Perfume and in the twenty-eighth edition with the song "Who I Am" by Milet.

After the Second World War, some of the lyrics were altered due to their association with Imperial Japan and only the first stance remained, taking on its final form as the popular song that Japanese children and their parents know and love.

Vocal signals, including spoken languages and birdsongs, are composed of a finite number of acoustic elements, including repetition, which is composed of a combination of these elements linked together by syntactic rules. While songbirds follow specie-specific syntactical rules, they often show regional dialects presumably due to the acquisition process of their songs. Many previous studies have examined migratory birds that seasonally traveled abroad; thus, it is unclear whether the dialects are restricted within the geometric regions. Here, we examined the songbird wren (Troglodytes troglodytes), which is a sedentary songbird with one of the most complex songs, in three areas: Mount Aso (Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan), Mount Ishizuchi (Ehime Prefecture, Japan), and Mount Daisen (Tottori Prefecture, Japan). We examined ten birds in each area and identified each bird using binoculars, and syntactic differences associated with geometric regions, or dialects, were investigated. The male wrens in the Mount Daisen dialect sang with little or no continuation of the different types of trills. On the other hand, male wrens in Mount Aso and Mount Ishiduchi frequently and continuously sang two or more different types of trills. All birds used trills and whistles. Our results suggest that sedentary songbirds, in addition to migratory birds, have dialects in song syntactic structure.

This wren (Troglodytes troglodytes) species was distributed throughout almost all of Japan (Figure 1). In each of the three regions recorded, the song began with an introductory note succeeded by the whistle verse (Figures 2 and 3). The next verse was another whistle or trill, and the phrases in this verse were distinctly different between dialects (Figures 2 and 3). Furthermore, depending on the region, some dialects had both trills and up to four to six whistles.

We identified and classified all the syllables (Figure 3) in the songs of 10 wrens in Mount Aso (Kumamoto Prefecture), 10 wrens in Mount Ishizuchi (Ehime Prefecture), and 10 wrens in Mount Daisen (Tottori Prefecture). We analyzed more than 20 bouts of each wren. Wrens in Mount Daisen rarely sang consecutive trill syntactical sequences. On the other hand, wrens in Mount Aso and Mount Ishizuchi, both located far west of Mount Daisen, sang consecutive trill syntactical sequences (Figure 3). We verified the identified syllable sequences using acoustic features of syllables (Figures 4 and 5). All trills consisted of more than three repetitions of the same syllable structure (Figure 4). Almost all other elements contained whistles with large frequency moderations during bouts that were relatively longer than trill syllable elements (Figure 5).

Figure1: The locations of three recorded locations. The songs of 10 wrens in Mount Aso (in Kumamoto Prefecture), the song of 10 wrens in Mount Ishizuchi (in Ehime Prefecture) and the song of 10 wrens in Mount Daisen (in Tottori Prefecture) were recorded. The red points were locations where wren activities were identified between 2016 and 2021 (from the Ministry of the Environment of Japan). The Scale bar, 100km.

Male wrens can be expected to vocalize in the context of different dialects of their species. Wrens are sedentary songbirds with one of the most complex songs; thus, it can be suggested that dialects in songbirds are acquired through vocalization learning during the juvenile phase. 17dc91bb1f
