Meiko Kaji first began work in the film industry under the name Masako Ota at Nikkatsu studio in 1965. In 1970, with little success but extensive experience in the movie business, Meiko Kaji signed up with the Nikkatsu movie studio and was subsequently cast in more or less important roles in the Stray Cat Rock series. The films concern juvenile girl gang confrontations and, although inventive, they suffer from poor scripts throughout the series. In 1971 Nikkatsu started moving into the financially lucrative pink film business. To avoid this Kaji moved to Toei where she met director Shunya Ito and made four women in prison films in the Female Prisoner Scorpion series, which made her famous throughout Japan. The films were adapted from a well-known manga by Toru Shinohara. In the fourth installment Toei replaced director Shunya Ito with Yasuharu Hasebe, a decision that Kaji was unhappy about, and she subsequently left the series, which continued until 1998 with six new installments of markedly lesser quality.
In 1973 she took on the role of Yuki in the revenge-themed film Lady Snowblood, which later gained popularity as a cult film in the West. It was based on a manga by Kazuo Koike who also created the Crying Freeman and Lone Wolf and Cub manga series. The film was one of the inspirations for Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill films. It was followed by the sequel, Lady Snowblood 2: Love Song of Vengeance.
Kaji went on to appear in several of Kinji Fukasaku's films, most notably Yakuza Graveyard (1976). In 1978, she starred in a film adaptation of Sonezaki Shinju, for which she earned nominations for Best Actress at five different awards shows, winning four of them. However, the film remains unseen by many of her fans, due to the fact that it has never been released on video or DVD.
Kaji's singing career was closely tied to her movie career, and she often sang on the soundtracks of films she starred in. The theme song to Lady Snowblood, "Flower of Carnage" (Shura no Hana), and the theme song of the Sasori series, "Urami Bushi" (lit. Grudge Song), both sung by Kaji, were used in Tarantino's Kill Bill films. Owing to this, she has seen a surge of renewed interest in her work.
In 1989 Kaji portrayed Omasa, an informant, in the television jidaigeki Onihei Hankachō (the Shochiku-Fuji Television version starring kabuki actor Nakamura Kichiemon II).

День памяти
По дороге домой с горячих источников
Я зашла в винную лавку и заказала сакэ
Сегодня день памяти нашей разлуки,
День когда ты ушел навсегда
Поэтому я буду ждать, пока не устану
Я до сих пор помню тот вечер на холодной веранде
На которой ты впервые,
Впервые обнял меня
В чашке моей чайный цветок суйчука
Расцветающий глубокой печалью,
Намекал на конец моего пути к которому я иду
Сегодня день памяти нашей разлуки,
День когда ты ушел навсегда
Поэтому я буду ждать, пока не устану
Я до сих пор помню слова,
Слова просьбы твоих отца и матери
Позаботиться об их сыне

Anniversary of death
Versions: #1#2
On my way back from the public bath
I made a stop at the bar
and indulged me with some sake
Since it's the anniversary of your death, when you left**
Let's say I got tired of waiting,
Even now I do remember
that night when in the chilly veranda
for the first time you
you hold me in your arms.
Inside my glass the suichûka*
desperately blooms
and hints at my own future
Since it's the anniversary of your death, when you left**
Let's say I got tired of waiting,
Even now I do remember it
when your Dad and your Mom
entrusted me with their son,
entrusted me with their son.

Ichiban yu kara no kaeri michi
Sakayasan ni tachi otte
Osake wo chuu monshite okimashita
Wakareta anata no meinichi dakara
Machiku tabirete agemashou
Watashi wa imademo oboete masu yo
Hin yari to shita engawa de
Hajimete anata ni
anata ni dakareta yoru wo
KOPPU no naka de wa suichuuka
Awaremi bukaku hanayaide
Watashi no yuku sue nado honomekasu
Wakareta anata no meinichi dakara
Machiku tabirete agemashou
Watashi wa imademo oboete masu yo
Anata no tousan kaasan ni
Musuko wo tanomu to
tanomu to iwareta koto wo

Aniversario de muerte
En mi camino de regreso del baño público
hice una parada en el bar
y me mimé con un poco de sake
ya que es el aniversario de tu muerte, cuando te fuiste**
digamos que me cansé de esperar,
Incluso ahora recuerdo a
esa noche cuando en la terraza fría
por primera vez
me tenias en tus brazos.
Dentro de mi vaso el suichûka*
florece desesperadamente
y da pistas a mi futuro
ya que es el aniversario de tu muerte, cuando te fuiste**
digamos que me cansé de esperar,
Incluso ahora lo recuerdo cuando tu
papá y tu mamá
me confiaron a su hijo
me confiaron a su hijo.

Ее голос завораживает. Так хорошо делается на душе. Я узнал о ней недавно и стал ее почитателем навсегда. Благодарю тех, кто знакомит нас с культурой Японии.

なんていい声、幸せな日を思い出しながら泣いている若い女の成熟した心の張りまで表現して色気がこぼれてる。
@paulrockatansky77
Kill Bill Part 3 needs to feature this song to complete the circle... and ideally, Ms Meiko Kaji herself should be a cast member.
@Haadbinaad
I don't understand Japanese but I translated to English so I could understand it and although I'm an a simple Arabic guy I loved this song it's have this feeling that I can't describe , I just love it .
Thanks for sharing it with us .
