Formed in 1973 as the high-school garage band Invader in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, its original members included vocalist Koji Tamaki(玉置浩二), guitarist Yutaka Takezawa (武沢豊), and guitarist / keyboardist Toshiya Takezawa (武沢俊也, Yutaka's brother). Later in 1973, drummer Kazuyoshi Tamaki (玉置一芳, Koji's brother) and bassist Takahiro Miyashita (宮下隆宏) joined. In 1977, the band changed its name to Anzen Chitai ("Safety Zone"), and Kazuyoshi Tamaki left the group, to be replaced by Ichiji Ohira (大平市治). By December 1977, Anzen Chitai merged with another band, the Haruyoshi Rokudo Band (六土開正バンド), and added three more members: bassist Haruyoshi Rokudo (六土開正), guitarist Wataru Yahagi (矢萩渉), and drummer Yuji Tanaka (田中裕二). By this point, they had expanded to an eight-member group. Within the next three years, Toshiya Takezawa and Takahiro Miyashita would leave. Yuji Tanaka would also leave at this point.
In 1981, they began work as a backup band for singer/songwriter Yosui Inoue (井上陽水), and released their debut single, Moegi Iro No SNAP (萌黄色のスナップ) in February 1982. However, the final personnel change would occur as Ichiji Ohira would leave, and Yuji Tanaka would return in his place, establishing the current lineup.
Under the guidance of their producer and co-arranger Masaru Hoshi (星勝, lead guitarist and vocalist of the psychedelic rock group MOPPS), the band continued to refine their craft in the studio. Their status as a backup band would soon change: in 1984, WINE RED No Kokoro (ワインレッドの心) reached No. 1 on the OriCon charts, to be followed by among others, Kanashimi Ni Sayonara (悲しみにさよなら) and Suki Sa (好きさ) (featured on the anime series Maison Ikkoku). Koji Tamaki was credited as the sole composer in virtually all of Anzen Chitai's music, with Goro Matsui (松井五郎) being the lyricist frequently. Their popularity in the 1980s culminated in a five-day soldout concert tour at the Budokan in 1987 which had a total attendance of 60,000.
Despite a couple of hiatuses for the sake of solo careers (July 1988-March 1990, 1993-2001), Anzen Chitai continued to record and tour. A new studio album was released in 2004, titled Anzen Chitai X (their tenth studio album). After their Japanese concert tour in support of the "Anzen Chitai X" album, the band announced at the end of 2004 that they are taking yet another indefinite hiatus.
As of 2006, Koji Tamaki remains active as a solo performer and television actor, with Wataru Yahagi performing in both his solo albums and concerts. Yutaka Takezawa is also active in the music business as a composer, producer, arranger and session guitarist.

真夜中すぎの恋
安全地帯 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
そのあとで 星座の見えるベランダへ
銀のピアスならはずれてる
夜につれられてゆくなら今
踊りながら 涙なんか こなごなになれ
真夜中すぎの恋だから
ため息はこわれた胸のささやき
どんなドレスでもかまわない
夜にはおられてゆくなら今
こわれながら 昨日よりも美しくなれ
真夜中すぎの恋だから
恋の罪も 恋の罠も 気づかないまま
真夜中すぎの恋だから
こわれながら 昨日よりも美しくなれ
真夜中すぎの恋だから
恋の罪も 恋の罠も 気づかないまま
真夜中すぎの恋だから
The lyrics to 安全地帯's 真夜中すぎの恋 (Late Night Love) depict a passionate and intense love affair that takes place in the late night hours, with the singer risking everything for a chance at happiness with their lover. The first verse describes the moment of mutual attraction, with the singer nodding in response to their lover's invitation before they head to a balcony where they can see the stars. The second verse focuses on the point of no return, as the singer - urged on by the night - surrenders to their desire and dances with their lover, letting their tears fall freely because this is a love that transcends all boundaries.
The chorus repeats the title phrase, emphasizing the lateness of the hour and the intensity of the emotions involved. The lines "if you hear goodbye, please cry" and "sighs are whispers from a broken heart" suggest that this love affair is fraught with danger and uncertainty, and the singer isn't sure if it will last. But even so, they are willing to take the risk because this is a love that makes them feel truly alive. The final verse repeats the same sentiment, that this love is worth any hardships or pain it may bring, as long as the singer can experience it fully and without regret.
Overall, 真夜中すぎの恋 is a powerful song about the electric rush of falling in love, even when it's against all odds. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people drawn together by a deep attraction that defies reason and logic, willing to risk all for a chance at happiness in the late night hours.

そのとおりです。
30ン年、玉置さんの以上に
心惹かれる人は居ない
安心して聴ける歌が少ない
音やリズムに難が・・あると
キーが外れとるん?とか
何で、自作なのに出ないキーや
歌えない譜割りの曲作るん?
などと気になってしまい
その先にある
曲の意味や、伝えたい事を
思うまでいかないし
それ以前に
何も考えず気軽に曲を流し
楽しむことすら出来ない物が
多過ぎて悲しい
で、結局
安全地帯と玉置さんの曲を
ループしている(^-^)v
