Takuro Yoshida is a male singer-songwriter representative of Japan's folk/rock world. He has left a major footprint on the Japanese popular music scene from the 1970s onward, and is supported across generations for his soulful singing and a unique lyrical world that captures the joys and sorrows of life. In anime, he handled 'Jun', the opening theme of the TV Tokyo anime 'Cromartie High School'. Written, composed and arranged by himself, this straightforward number sings of the hard-boiled, passionate romance of manly men, creating an exquisite sense of mismatch with this laid-back gag anime set in a delinquent high school, and is still remembered as a masterful theme song emblematic of the series.
