To the Sky（SORA E）/Carmen Maki _Maki Annette Lovelace Lyrics by Tsuyoshi Kajiki, Music composed by Hirofumi Kasuga (English translation of the rough meaning of the Japanese lyrics) Like a cloud floating vaguely in the sky From the time when I wanted to wander the wide sky too Your singing voice whispering from afar has always supported me Someday, I'll surely fly high in the sky like you You sing that “you should live your life the way you like” Your blues sing so from a worn out record “It's no one's fault that you were born without a clear purpose” I was following in your footsteps, searching for my dreams with my hands Your singing song from afar has always supported me Someday, I'll surely fly high in the sky like you I'm sure that tomorrow I'll be flying high in the sky just like you 〇Carmen Maki / Maki Annette Lovelace Maki was born in Kanagawa Japan in 1951. Her father is American and her mother is Japanese. In 1969, age 18, she made her debut as a solo singer in Japan with "Sometimes Like a Child Without a Mother" (lyrics: Shuji Terayama, music: Michiru Tanaka). It suddenly became a million hits in Japan, and she participated in NHK's KOHAKU annual song contest at the end of the year,and she became famous singer in Japan. But next year in 1970, she declared turn to Rock Singer, and next in 1971 she released an album "Carmen Maki / Blues Creation" with "the Blues Creation" led by guitarist Kazuo Takeda. The collaboration ended with the release of only one album. On this album, she made it clear that she was a Rock Singer, not a folk singer. In 1972, she met guitarist Hirofumi Kasuga who was 18 years old at the time and formed "Carmen Maki & OZ". Three years later, they released their first album in 1975, their second "Closed Town" in 1976, "Carmen Maki & OZ III" in 1977, disbanded in October 1977, and released their live show as "Carmen Maki & OZ LAST LIVE" in 1978. The OZ’s first album attracted attention due to Maki's name recognition in Japan, singing ability and charisma, and became an unusual million hit for a Japan rock album of that time. OZ played more modern rock in the 70's than “Blues Creation”, with heavy, hard, and progressive songwriting rather than the sound of Kazuo Takeda's blues-rock tendencies, partly due to Hirofumi Kasuga composition. It's surprising that OZ was already born in Japan before the NWOBHM movement and Metal genre were born in the World. It was very unfortunate that they couldn't have the opportunity to be released in Europe and the United States, for world market at that time, ended up buried only in domestic sales Japan. In Japan Maki has continued to influence the power vocal styles of later “Show-ya / keiko Terada” and current Japanese female Metal Bands Vocal style. Keiko Terada is a fan of Carmen Maki, and their song “I am storm / ARASHI” is a famous answer to OZ's “I am wind/ KAZE”. “Japanese Female Metal Rock history has Started with the arrival of “Queen” Carmen Maki..”
このカルメンマキ＆ｏｚは、奇跡のコンビでした。空へ、私は風、この2曲は、何十年経っても、いまだにやりたい曲です！若い頃、最高の女性ボーカリストと、出逢い、7年くらいずっとカルメンマキ&OZコピバンやってました！この素晴らしい声と、曲とOZは、まさに奇跡の神様の送り物でした！
すばらしいです。カルメンマキさん。
今このように歌える歌手の方はなかなかいないと思います。
また地上波でいちど聞いてみたいなと思います。
さすがにロックを歌うために生まれてきた方だなと思いました。
動画を拝聴させていただきましてありがとうございました。
カルメンマキさんどうかお体に気をつけて
また、地上波に出てきていただけるとありがたいです。
素晴らしい歌声、心に染みました。ありがとうございました。感謝いたします。
カッチョいい！
これがカッチョいいと感じないヒトもいるだろうけれども…オイラにはカッチョ良すぎて…上手く言葉にできないカッチョ良さ！ひとことで言えば『感動』！
鳥肌が止まりません。最高の演奏＆圧倒的なマキのボーカルもう日本のROCKボーカリストでマキを超える人は現れないと思います。
ライブでこれだけ歌えるマキさんがすごい！！
こんなボーカル今はいないよな～～
マキもバンドメンバーも最高！
もう、このようなバンドは現れない
正に70年代の日本の正統派ロック！
今でも現役でほぼ同じメンバーと活動されてるのが、本当に嬉しいです👌
マキもバンドメンバーも最高！
もう、このようなバンドは現れない。
いい曲だなぁ。
音もスゴイカッコイイし、兎に角ベースが最高です。
この曲は，ずっと好きですわー
そして，美しい
イントロから引き込まれる
今2021年もあと２ヶ月もない今、これは、当時よりずっと価値がある。少なくとも私には
圧巻としか言いようがない＞＜ 鳥肌がとまらない
22才のころ茶水のdisk unionでかったOZの77年の日比谷野音でのライブを収録したアルバムを当時住んでいた四畳半一間のアパートで良く聞いてました。この曲は一番好きです。
Excellent live rock tune
今も色あせない。
全てがカッコイイ！！
Such a powerful voice
fan
Всем привет с Казахстан 🇰🇿🇯🇵 люблю Carmen Maki и японцев
高校一年の時、リアルタイムでこの「空へ」を聴いた時の衝撃は今でも忘れられない。魂ガンガン振るわされました。今風に言えば私の「神曲」で。
この頃ベースを少しかじってたので、ベースライン必死にコピーした記憶が・・・。
この曲で88ロックディにえんとり〜致しました🥰
40年前ですけどね…🥰
これは確かNHKのヤングミュージックショーでクリエイションやcharとパート分けて放送されたヤツかな？
高校生の時、リアルタイムで見た記憶がある。
その時の衝撃はいまでも変わらないな。今後もこの人を超えるボーカリストは日本では出てこないだろう。
クリエーションこのばんどは、かなりの実力者で、クリエーション知ってるってだけで、もう最高ですね！👍
本当のロックミュージシャンたちです。
To the Sky（SORA E）/Carmen Maki _Maki Annette Lovelace
Lyrics by Tsuyoshi Kajiki, Music composed by Hirofumi Kasuga
(English translation of the rough meaning of the Japanese lyrics)
Like a cloud floating vaguely in the sky
From the time when I wanted to wander the wide sky too
Your singing voice whispering from afar has always supported me
Someday, I'll surely fly high in the sky like you
You sing that “you should live your life the way you like”
Your blues sing so from a worn out record
“It's no one's fault that you were born without a clear purpose”
I was following in your footsteps, searching for my dreams with my hands
Your singing song from afar has always supported me
Someday, I'll surely fly high in the sky like you
I'm sure that tomorrow I'll be flying high in the sky just like you
