" Arashi no Sugao " ( 嵐 （ あらし ） の 素顔 （ すがお ） , lit. "The True Face of the Storm") is a song recorded by Japanese singer Shizuka Kudo , released as a single by Pony Canyon on May 3, 1989. Although the song is one of Kudo's most recognizable hits, [1] as well as widely considered to be her breakout hit, [2] and despite the fact that it was included on the compilation album Harvest , released later that same year, it was never featured on any of Kudo's studio albums. At the fourth Japan Gold Disc Awards , "Arashi no Sugao" was one of the five recipients of the award for Best Single of the Year. [3] In 2015, DAM asked their users to select their favorite Shizuka Kudo songs to sing karaoke to and compiled a top ten list; "Arashi no Sugao" was ranked number seven. [4]

Composition and critical reception [ edit ]

The song was written by Yoshiko Miura and composed and produced by Tsugutoshi Got? . [5] Lyrically, the song explores themes of scorned love and vulnerability. Miura describes a protagonist's volatile state of mind after being abandoned by a condescending lover, to whom she vows to "raise up a storm and destroy everything". Kudo was praised for her vocal performance and unique tone, credited by critics as one of the main elements behind the success of the song. [2]

Live performances [ edit ]

The live performances of "Arashi no Sugao" achieved fame for the accompanying choreography. [6] After delivering the choruses, Kudo would perform a specific hand movement which involved moving her hand repeatedly below and along the side of her face to the beat of the song. [7] Bobby Yoshino, who choreographed the routine, was inspired by tutting to create the famous hand move. Along with the shoulder-padded skirt suit Kudo wore to perform the song, this signature hand movement is often replicated by comedians performing impressions of Kudo. [7]

Cover versions [ edit ]

In 2006, Nana Kitade recorded a cover for her second EP , Cutie Bunny . [8] In 2012, Janet Kay recorded an English-language cover of the song for her cover album Idol Kay . [9] In 2014, the girl group Feam recorded a cover of the song for their album, Re:Idol: Hajimete no Ch? . [10] "Arashi no Sugao" was covered by Kenichi Suzumura as part of the Shizuka Kudo-as-sung-by male voice actors tribute album, Shizuka Kudo Tribute , released in 2017. [11] In 2015, Nanase Aikawa , who credits Kudo as being the artist who inspired her to become a singer and whose songs, including "Arashi no Sugao", she sang at auditions, performed a duet of the song with Kudo at her concert commemorating her 20th anniversary. [12] [13]

Chart performance [ edit ]

"Arashi no Sugao" debuted at number-one on the Oricon Singles Chart , where it stayed for three consecutive weeks. [14] [15] [16] It charted in the top ten for nine straight weeks. [17] "Arashi no Sugao" stayed in the top hundred for a total of 21 weeks and moved over 500,000 copies during its run. [18] The single ranked at number eight on the year-end Oricon Singles Chart for 1989, and was one of three singles released by Kudo that year to rank in the yearly top ten. [19]
