From Suzuki's 1976 album: "Lagoon"
"Hachibu Onpu no Uta" is the famous ballad that was covered by a pre-debut Mariya Takeuchi（竹内まりや）. Takashi Matsumoto's（松本隆）lyrics which bring together the sentimental feelings of a musician go particularly well with that silence of a stage after everything has been wrapped up following a performance. Incidentally, speaking of Mariya, the Yasuhiro Abe（安部恭弘）-penned "Gosenshi"（五線紙） (which was also written by Matsumoto) has a lineage with "Hachibu Onpu no Uta" with the lyrics of the former perhaps having a connection with those of the latter.
The above comes from "Disc Collection Japanese City Pop Revised" (2020).
