Jpop Recommend #257 Wakamono no subete by fujifabric

若者のすべて Wakamono no subete

フジファブリック Fujifabric



Released in November 2007, this song was the band's 10th single.  The song's somewhat nostalgic tune brings us a the end of summer or youth together with a bit of sadness and emptiness.


Unfortunately, the lead vocal and the lyricist, 志村 正彦 (Masahiko Shimura), passed away on December 24, 2009 of an unknown ailment.
