Yutaka Ozaki was a true legend of Japanese music, a rebellious figure who revolutionised J-Pop/Rock, created a string of timeless records and cemented his status by dying a gruesome, untimely death in a Tokyo street at age 26.
He was born in 1965 in Tokyo`s Setagaya-ku, and debuted in 1983 with the single 「15の夜」 (juu-go no yoru) when he was still a High School Student. This track was the first single from "SEVENTEEN'S MAP" 「十七歳の地図」, an album unusual in that he wrote and performed all the tracks, but a staggering achievement considering he really was just 17 at the time he wrote it. His youthful experiences are at the heart of the album; most songs concern the stifling circumstances of teenage life, boredom, sexual awakening and the confounding of expectations. There is a dark, perhaps even desparate, tone to the record that belies the superficially MOR sheen of the production and it is hardly surprising that the record continues to strike a chord with todays teenagers, as well as being held in high esteem by their parents, themselves children of the 80s and victims of the strange days of the economic bubble.
Although his first record is his masterpiece, the five that followed are of a similarly high standard, especially 1985s 「回帰線」, which contains 「卒業」, a song about graduation that captures something of the emptiness and dread of post-High School life in Japan.
In April 1992, he was found naked in a Tokyo street, dead as a result of pulmonary edema. Although this official cause of death has been disputed, and some people believe he was murdered, what is certain is that he had consumed large quantities of drugs and alcohol on the night he died. A career spanning six albums and only 61 songs was over, but he remains a highly visible figure in Japanese music, his songs are often covered and are karaoke standards, and there are numerous books and tribute albums.
His most famous songs are 「I LOVE YOU」 and 「卒業」, both of which appear on 「13/71 THE BEST SELECTION」, essential listening for anyone with more than a passing interest in J-Pop or Japanese culture.

すこしずつ慣れてきて
君の笑顔も素敵になってゆくようさ
忘れられない心の傷みの悲しみも
今夜全てを吹き消して
流れてゆく 変わってゆく
街灯りも形を変え

きっと尾崎は本当に死ぬ気はなかった。
自分から離れていく周りの人間にほんのちょっと理解してほしかっただけ。
気を引こうとしてやりすぎて死に至ったんだと思う。
いろんな尾崎のウラ話とか、スペシャル番組とか見て総合的にそう感じてる。
今の言葉でいうとたぶん、メンヘラ的なとこがあったんだとおもう。
精神的に不安定で自分のことで周りを振り回してしまうところね。
周りのせいで亡くなった部分もあるし、それは自分のせいでもある。
そんな尾崎はいつどんなときも俺の心の中心で軸になってる。
尾崎最高！！！！！

きっと忘れない
このタイトルに意味がると思う
この曲は単なる誕生を祝っているだけの曲じゃなく
尾崎の人生を通して感じている心の痛みが表れている
とても悲しい曲
という一面もあると思います

没後30年。こんな素晴らしい歌を創ったのに、何故自ら命を断ったんだろうか？
うまおむすび
適当なことを書くな〜
X男
答えは薬物中毒の影響だと思う
そこに至るまで色んな事があったのだろう
普通の人と比較出来ない位に、ピュアで傷付きやすくて脆く孤独だったらしい
だから才能があったとも言える

なるほど。不倫、覚醒剤、母親の死・・・。
色々と苦しんだのはわかるけど、弱くて自分勝手な人間だと思う。
残された妻子の事を思えば、自殺出来ないはず。
プロレスは人生の教科書
綺麗な映像、そして歌詞の字幕付きで
尾崎さんのきっと忘れないが見れるなんて最高です！！
