《昴》的靈感來自谷村新司搬家時期,晚上躺在堆疊起來的紙板箱之間,忽然從心底湧現出了詞曲,於是便即刻在趴在地板上完成了歌曲的創作。昴(called "Subaru" すばる in Japanese) is a cluster of stars known as the Pleiades (Seven Sisters, Messier 45) located in the north-west of the constellation of Taurus. It is among the star clusters nearest to Earth and most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky. Best view is in November in the northern hemisphere.
Mr. ShinJi was not only a singer but a composer too. He was popular in Taiwan too especially for those listeners who like Japanese songs. I was so sorry to hear that he died recently, miss him very much!
