A couple of months ago, I wrote on one of teenage actress Kyoko Yoshizawa's（吉沢京子）relatively few singles in the recording industry, "Suttobe Seishun"（すっ跳べ青春）, which was the theme song for one of her movies in August 1970, "Batsugun Joshi Koukousei Juu-roku-sai Kanjichau"（バツグン女子高校生 16才は感じちゃう）.
Just a few short months later in November, another movie...possibly a sequel, "Batsugun Joshi Koukousei Sotto Shitoite ne Juu-roku-sai"（バツグン女子高校生 そっとしといて16才...Outstanding High School Girl ~ Leave Me Alone 16）came out with her appearing in it. And once again, Yoshizawa provided a tune called "Sotto Shitoite ne!" (Leave Me Alone!). I mentioned in the first article that "Suttobe Seishun" was a bit of a happy march, but "Sotto Shitoite ne!" has got more of an innocent and slightly more forlorn feeling, I guess, to match the feelings of the heroine who seems to want to withdraw from the world and perhaps observe love more than participate in it. Perhaps, she's just been burned by it.
As with "Suttobe Seishun", the lyrics were provided by Tokiko Iwatani（岩谷時子）but the melody this time was composed by Taro Morimoto（森本太郎）with arrangement by Makoto Kawaguchi（川口真）.
