〇Carmen Maki / Maki Annette Lovelace Maki was born in Kanagawa Japan in 1951. Her father is American and her mother is Japanese. In 1969, age 18, she made her debut as a solo singer in Japan with "Sometimes Like a Child Without a Mother" (lyrics: Shuji Terayama, music: Michiru Tanaka). It suddenly became a million hits in Japan, and she participated in NHK's KOHAKU annual song contest at the end of the year,and she became famous singer in Japan. But next year in 1970, she declared turn to Rock Singer, and next in 1971 she released an album "Carmen Maki / Blues Creation" with "the Blues Creation" led by guitarist Kazuo Takeda. The collaboration ended with the release of only one album. On this album, she made it clear that she was a Rock Singer, not a folk singer. In 1972, she met guitarist Hirofumi Kasuga who was 18 years old at the time and formed "Carmen Maki & OZ". Three years later, they released their first album in 1975, their second "Closed Town" in 1976, "Carmen Maki & OZ III" in 1977, disbanded in October 1977, and released their live show as "Carmen Maki & OZ LAST LIVE" in 1978. The OZ’s first album attracted attention due to Maki's name recognition in Japan, singing ability and charisma, and became an unusual million hit for a Japan rock album of that time. OZ played more modern rock in the 70's than “Blues Creation”, with heavy, hard, and progressive songwriting rather than the sound of Kazuo Takeda's blues-rock tendencies, partly due to Hirofumi Kasuga composition. It's surprising that OZ was already born in Japan before the NWOBHM movement and Metal genre were born in the World. It was very unfortunate that they couldn't have the opportunity to be released in Europe and the United States, for world market at that time, ended up buried only in domestic sales Japan. In Japan Maki has continued to influence the power vocal styles of later “Show-ya / keiko Terada” and current Japanese female Metal Bands Vocal style. Keiko Terada is a fan of Carmen Maki, and their song “I am storm / ARASHI” is a famous answer to OZ's “I am wind/ KAZE”. “Japanese Female Metal Rock history has Started with the arrival of “Queen” Carmen Maki..”
”I Am Wind" (WATASHI ha KAZE) Carmen Maki & OZ May 1977 Live at Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall, Tokyo Lyrics by Annette Lovelace Maki (Carmen Maki) Music Composed by Hirofumi Kasuga (English translation of rough Japanese lyrics ) In this city, so many sad things had happen to me. So I thought I'd go on a trip somewhere far away. Stuffing memories into my pocket, I got on the train alone. Just like the scenery that runs through the window of the train, my life until yesterday also runs through. I say goodbye to the city I will never go back to again Oh, I cried so much that my tears have dried up. From tomorrow on, I'll be as light as the wind, So I'll live as freely as the wind. It's easy to be alone without restraint. Ahh Oh, close my eyes, close my mind, close my book. Oh, I'm the wind, I'm like the wind, I'm going to continue my never-ending journey. Ahh Yhaaaaaa Oh, hold me until you feel like it. Say goodbye to you after sleeping with you Anyway, I'm a carefree woman, and I'm a free windy woman. Ahh Tututu Tutu Tututu Tutu Tututu Tutu A deep, pale purple mist flows through the depths of my mind. Does someone tell me where I'm going to go? I am alone on a street corner in a strange city. I drift in the middle of the waves of many people in the city Where am I Going to go Tomorrow Oh this is like a never-ending journey for me.
カルメン・マキは日本で最高のロックシンガー・・。
カルメン・マキ&ozの演奏も最高級
俺この時野音にいたんだよな。この音聴いてたんだよね。コンサートに誘ってくれた友達と2人で見て聴いて感動した。そいつは速くに風になって行ってしまったけど俺はまだなんとか生きています。忘れられない思い出のコンサートありがとうカルメンマキ&OZ今でも最高だぜ〜。
久しぶりに聴いたら凄すぎて鳥肌が立った。
UA-camに感謝します。60のオバサンの独り言。
私このライブ行きました。当時大学4年の春で、初めてのオズに感動して、以来アルバムをそろえて浸っていたのが懐かしく思いだしました。
私は風はライブアルバベストベストと思ってましたが、45年前に日比谷で聞いたのが今聞けるとは......ただただ感激です。記録して一生の宝ものにします。
70年代の日本の音楽って心に沁みるのが多いように思います。
日本の女性ロッカーの草分け的存在であるカルメンマキ嬢がozをお従えて作った記念碑的名盤。この録音が当時のままで残っていたこと自体奇跡。
若い頃リアルタイムでカルメンマキ&OZを観て聴いて惚れてハマった私は風、情報社会の現代世界の何処かで、感動している若者が居るかも知れませんね❤最高
ドラマチックでロックな曲は今も忘れらません。
高校時代、男子バンドで披露した『私は風』。メンバー全員カッコ良かったです。
🎶チュッチュウ
チュッチュウル🎶
このライブは、とっても良い出来だと、聞いた中で一番良いテイクだと思います。

”I Am Wind" (WATASHI ha KAZE) Carmen Maki & OZ
May 1977 Live at Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall, Tokyo
Lyrics by Annette Lovelace Maki (Carmen Maki)
Music Composed by Hirofumi Kasuga
(English translation of rough Japanese lyrics )
In this city, so many sad things had happen to me.
So I thought I'd go on a trip somewhere far away.
Stuffing memories into my pocket, I got on the train alone.
Just like the scenery that runs through the window of the train,
my life until yesterday also runs through.
I say goodbye to the city I will never go back to again
Oh, I cried so much that my tears have dried up.
From tomorrow on, I'll be as light as the wind,
So I'll live as freely as the wind.
It's easy to be alone without restraint. Ahh
Oh, close my eyes, close my mind, close my book.
Oh, I'm the wind, I'm like the wind,
I'm going to continue my never-ending journey. Ahh Yhaaaaaa
Oh, hold me until you feel like it.
Say goodbye to you after sleeping with you
Anyway, I'm a carefree woman, and I'm a free windy woman. Ahh
Tututu Tutu Tututu Tutu Tututu Tutu
A deep, pale purple mist flows through the depths of my mind.
Does someone tell me where I'm going to go?
I am alone on a street corner in a strange city.
I drift in the middle of the waves of many people in the city
Where am I Going to go Tomorrow
Oh this is like a never-ending journey for me.
オルガンみたいな音が70年代ロックなのかな 新宿の高層ビルを吹き抜ける風を感じる
40年前の沖縄豊見城城跡公園でのAllNigthConcertを思い出します。
クリエーション、カルメンマキ&oz,紫
このコンサート見ました。最後花火が炸裂して終わりました。途中シャボン玉の機械でシャボン玉が舞ったりいいコンサートでした。
貴重なコメントありがとうございます。
凄かったよねぇ。行けてよかった。幸せだったな。宝物だぜ!同じ時同じ場所にいたんですね。
日本のロッククイーン!
コロナを飛ばせと、今年 魔女降臨! みんな聞け!
ジャコウネコがカバーした曲で、『凄く雄大な曲だな!』と言うのが当時の感想でした。オリジナル聞いて、その思いが正しかったと知りました。
コメントありがとうございます。ジャコウネコがカバーしていたとは知りませんでした。カルメン・マキ&OZの曲は物語ですね。
¡¡¡ watashiva kaze !!! \m/...\m/...\m/...killer track,definitely japanese bands rules...long live to the rising sun
カルメン・マキさんの旧本名を知っている方どれだけいるのでしょうか。
Maki Anette Lovelece が マキさんの本名でした
アイルランドとユダヤ系の血を引くアメリカ人の父親と日本人の母親との間に生まれた混血児です。
日本国籍取得後は本名非公表ですが
作詞はこの名前を使ってましたよね
少なくともパープルに聴こえるのはパープルを知らな過ぎだろう。そもそもディープ・パープルにこう言うドラマチックな構成の曲は無い。
child in time
マキオズは日本のロック!です、間違いなく❕
OZはOZでしかない🎉誰も真似出来ない!😮
生まれる時代が早すぎたのかな?インパクトはすごかったんだけど。
キーボードは誰ですか?
川崎雅文さんかな
@@suT3bus :ラッキーです。かっこいい渋い男です。ほんと渋いいい男です!!!!!
確かに、ディープ・パープルだ!!
ボーカルが一本調子なのもイアンギランそっくり。
グランドファンクも少し入ってるね!
@@しかましげあき
あとUriah Heepもね
@@Carnabycat2024
結局、70年代全部かィ
G·F·Rはベースがナ
Uriah Heepはコーラスかな?
要するに当時流行ってた洋楽のパクりだな😊
