Masashi Sada is one of 91AV原创 most beloved and prolific musicians, with a catalog of roughly 650 self-penned songs and a career spanning five decades. Also an accomplished author with numerous books to his name, Sada brings a literary sensibility to songwriting, penning lyrics that pierce the heart.?

Born in Nagasaki in 1952, Sada emerged as a purveyor of 办补测ō办测辞办耻, Japanese standards popular from the 1920s to the ’80s. He scored his first No. 1 hit in 1977 with “Amayadori,” which translates to “taking shelter from the rain.”?

That song kicked off a golden run that continued into the early?’80s. Tracks such as “Kanpaku Sengen” (“Declaration of the Master of the House“) are so ubiquitous that most Japanese people of a certain age can recite their lyrics. Now 74, Sada still tours tirelessly and has just completed another album of new material, “Kamisama no Iutori” (“As the Gods Say”).?
