The world's full of hate
And our spirits are just so down
But one thing can lift us up
That's pure rock'n'roll
Rhythm grabs you, driving the pounding groove tight
Gonna play loud, without stopping all night
Lose yourself in the music, and dance together
Gonna free your mind tonight
Everybody needs rock'n'roll
Feel the beat, let your heart unfold
Everybody needs rock'n'roll
Turn it up, let good times roll
When we're feeling low
When we're lost and afraid
Rock and roll comes to save us
It's a shining light in the dark
Rhythm takes hold, as bass thumps with might
We'll rock this place, till the dawn's first light
Let the music move you, we're together
This beat's simple and tight
Everybody needs rock'n'roll
Let it move you, break down the walls
Everybody needs rock'n'roll
Rock this world, from deep soul to soul
(Feel the rhythm, lose control!)
Oo o-o-o, music unites us all, one and all
Oo o-o-o, in a way that words can't do
The sound of our hearts
As years go by, sounds may change
Yet its core remains true
Rock and roll's spirit lives on
Burning passion, never stops
Rhythm grabs you, driving the pounding groove tight
Gonna play loud, without stopping all night
Lose yourself in the music, and dance together
Gonna free your mind tonight
Everybody needs rock'n'roll
Feel the beat, let your heart unfold
Everybody needs rock'n'roll
Turn it up, let good times roll
Everybody needs rock'n'roll
Let it move you, break down the walls
Everybody needs rock'n'roll
Rock this world, from deep soul to soul
Everybody needs rock'n'roll
(Like a fire)
Let it move you, break down the walls
(Burning in our souls)
Everybody needs rock'n'roll
(To feel alive)
Rock this world, from deep soul to soul
(To set our spirits free)
Everybody needs rock'n'roll
(Like a fire)
Let it move you, break down the walls
(Burning in our souls)
Everybody needs rock'n'roll
(To feel alive)
Rock this world, from deep soul to soul
(To set our spirits free)

In This Place
Shu Hakamada
Hello music lovers! I'm Shu Hakamada, a Japanese singer-songwriter born on 1959. I suffered hearing loss in 2006 and was forced to give up my career as a professional musician in my mid-40s. Since then, I was away from music for over 15 years, but in 2024 I returned with a new passion.
'Restart' represents my musical rebirth, featuring a journey through diverse melodies and harmonies - from upbeat anthems to soul-searching ballads. Drawing inspiration from The Beatles, classic rock and roll, and Motown, these songs explore themes of love, grief, and hope.
This album was created entirely at home, with all tracks played, recorded, and mixed by myself.
Creating 'Restart' was like rediscovering a part of myself I thought I'd lost. It's living proof that age is no barrier to pursuing new dreams. We were all born to run - to chase our passions, overcome challenges, and reinvent ourselves at any stage of life.
