"1973 Because I only have one life" is a reissue of my original song from 52 years ago. At the age of 60, I decided to start a second life as a musician, a career I had only had a short time in while working for a company, and in 2013 I resumed my activities for the first time in 36 years under the stage name "Kou (Kou-chan)-Neo(New)."A rock singer-songwriter from Hitachiota, Ibaraki Prefecture, currently living in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. I takes advantage of the freedom of programming and high-pitched vocals. "1973 Because I only have one life" is a song that Kou-Neo wrote in 1973 when Kou-Neo was a student. It was my second original song I performed in public, and it was a song I performed with just my guitar and vocals. Kou-Neo has been able to hit the higher notes (reverse voice change) since I started working for a company, so now, since this song has been reissued for the first time in 38 years,
I sings it with an 8 capo higher than when it was originally composed. I include the year it was composed at the beginning of my old songs. Is "1973 Because I only have one life" proof that this song was composed in 1973?! It's from when I submitted it to a magazine songwriting contest in 1974.

I takes advantage of the freedom of programming and high-pitched vocals.Kou-Neo has been able to sing in a high-pitched voice(reverse voice change) After employment in Hamamatsu, so I has reissued songs I wrote in my student days and now sings in a key 6 or 8 capo higher than I did back then!Most of my songs are originals from 1972, but I has also recently started writing songs using programming. I puts the year of composition at the beginning of my older songs.
