Sweet seventeen...



-------------------------

When I saw you

Straighten your hair

With your finger

It felt like

I knew that

Gesture

From somewhere



But I couldn't remember where

I couldn't remember

The torn picture

And then



Seventeen

Seventeen

I remembered you

Seventeen

Seventeen

Your warped image



It felt like

I knew

That vacant

Stare

From

Somewhere

I saw it somewhere

I'm sure

A long time

Ago



But I couldn't remember

What you looked like

At that time

I mean



Seventeen

Seventeen

I remember you

Seventeen

Seventeen

Your warped image



I didn't want

To meet you ever again



The way you

Straightened your hair

With your finger

And the way

You left me



Seventeen

Seventeen

I remember you

Seventeen

Seventeen

Your warped image

Seventeen



Sweet seventeen...

The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of electronic pop, new wave, and orchestral arrangements that characterized their work during the late 1980s. With its distinctive synthesizer melodies and rhythmic drive, the recording became a staple of the group's discography and contributed to their international recognition as pioneers of the electronic music scene. The track remains a representative example of the era's fusion of digital sounds with traditional pop sensibilities, cementing its place in the catalog of influential Japanese electronic recordings.
