Standing at the edge Fork in the road I can't go back, I can't go ahead Thinking through my heart What is truth? Every time we are learning to do the right thing But sometimes you've got to go away from your friends When you see them in a helpless, deep and dark hole But still I'm trying to understand your way Of your life Say goodbye for awhile Way of your life Fork in the road Standing at the edge Fork in the road I can't refuse, I can't receive People explain Their complaints What they gave never got returned I say let me see, look into your eyes That's hiding behind, pretending, your mask Shall I take your kindness honestly this time? Is there any more change This time? Fork in the road

Tokyo Song 02:45
If you get a chance Go to Japan Go to Tokyo Take a train to Harajuku Every Sunday The bamboo shoot people Dancing on the street They're such a colorful people Don't you want to see? I want to see Don't you want to see? I want to see We are modern country Like the U.S.A. We like shopping Every weekend There are no samurais There is no harakiri Drink Coca Cola Young people listen to rock 'n' roll Don't you want to see? World's second population Got more pollution We like fashion It's international Do good business Got no enemy Grow up economy There is more variety Don't you want to see?

about

This was my first American release, nine years after Misora in 1972. Philip K. Dick was the executive producer and big supporter. He loved Misora and encouraged me to start writing music again.
