Biography
Early life Junko Yagami was born in Aichi prefecture. Born on January 5, 1958, in Chikusa-ku, Nagoya, as the eldest daughter of Ryozo Yagami, who was born in the founding family of Yagami Seisakusho and later became the company's fourth chairman.
She started learning the piano at the age of three and Japanese dance from the first grade of elementary school. She has loved singing since she was a child, and even at home she continued to sing the songs of The Peanuts and Shirley Bassey, which surprised her parents.
On the other hand, Yagami said about her childhood, "When I was in elementary school, I was very clumsy and awkward, and I didn't like myself. The child who was good at exercising was touted and prominent, but I was shy and totally unobtrusive."
When she entered Aichi Shukutoku High School, she formed a folk guitar circle and sometimes went to school festivals at other schools with them.
The first half of this song was composed based on the arrangement and part of the melody line of Ray Kennedy's "You Oughta Know By Now", and the second half of the chorus part was Yagami's original composition.
