Black Beauty

Oh! Friends

あのロックスターの使うギターは凄まじいほどボロボロさ

艶かしい黒光りなどとうの昔に消えてしまい

ラッカーは剥がれ、金属は錆び、ブリッジのサドルは二度と動かず

ネックはAのコードを握る手の形にほげてる

Ah 1969の昔から響き歪んだ音に撃たれた

Ah 何世代ものロックに狂ったガキどもよ

Ah 俺もその1人さ…君もそうだろう?

あの夜見たブラックビューティーは何よりも輝いてた

本物は憧れよりもずっと、ずっとずっと輝いてた

あの夜見たブラックビューティーは何よりも輝いてた

本物は憧れよりもずっと、ずっとずっと輝いてた

愛する人の「歌いたい」という夢を

叶えるために立ち上がる男の手にはいつもあのギターが…

昨日は東京ドームからの屋根裏、明日は高塔山

どんなステージでもロックでこの世をまわした

私のすてきなゆめを乗せてROKKETが飛び立った

あの夜見たブラックビューティーは何よりも輝いてた

本物は憧れよりもずっと、ずっとずっと輝いてた

あのロックスターの使うギターは凄まじいほどボロボロさ

艶かしい黒光りなどとうの昔に消えてしまい

ラッカーは剥がれ、金属は錆び、ブリッジのサドルは二度と動かず

ネックはAのコードを握る手の形にほげてる

あの夜見たブラックビューティーは何よりも輝いてた

本物は憧れよりもずっと、ずっとずっと輝いてた

Ah 誰よりも輝く星を目指し

私のすてきなゆめを乗せた

ROKKETが飛び立った!

    Black Beauty

    Oh! Friends

Oh! Friends' 3rd single in a year is a memorial number dedicated to legendary guitarist Makoto Ayukawa on the first anniversary of his sudden death in January 2022.

Makoto Ayukawa was the guitarist of SHEENA & THE ROKKETS and SONHOUSE, and had been active for more than 50 years since the dawn of Japanese rock music. Oh! Friends was also strongly influenced by both bands, and we both went to their last gig together before their death.

On January 29, 2022, when the news of Makoto Ayukawa's passing spread throughout Japan, what naturally came to mind in their grief was his beloved 1969 Gibson Les Paul Custom, known as "Black Beauty. They say that When they saw Makoto Ayukawa's Black Beauty for the first time, it was horribly battered, but it shone dazzlingly.
This rock 'n' roll number sings about the joy of meeting the bands , SHEENA & THE ROKKETS and SONHOUSE and the great guitarist Makoto Ayukawa.
