Yosui, a legendary japanese singer and wonder

It is a great pleasure to be contemporary with such a wonderful man.
 
First, look at the picture below.
Judge by his appearance.
Don't you feel something extraordinary?
 
 
 
Since 70s he's been a great and influential singer and songwriter in Japan.
Beginning his career as a folk singer who was shocked by Bob Dylan, he has affected many people by his addictive lyrics.
They are quite different from other pop singers'.
For example,  one of his huge success "I have no umbrella (Kasa ga nai)"starts like this.
 
There are great increase in youth's suicides here in this big city
according to the newspaper today.
But what matters to me is just that I have no umbrella.
 
 
 
He's still going strong.
He gives us great live performances every year.
Travelling all over Japan, Yosui sings us songs, which lead us to the unusual world.
