Unreleased Teresa Teng song found in Japan to appear on album coming out in June 2025
Light pop song the late Taiwanese singer probably recorded in the mid-1980s will feature on album of composer Takashi Miki’s work
An unreleased song by the late Taiwanese pop singer Teresa Teng, a darling of East Asian audiences from the 1970s to the 1990s, has been discovered in Japan and will be released in June, a source familiar with the matter said this week.
The light pop song, probably recorded in the mid-1980s, was a joint work of composer Takashi Miki and lyricist Toyohisa Araki, the duo behind Teng’s hits in Japan including “Toki no Nagare ni Mi wo Makase” (“Give yourself to the flow of time”).
The song, with a tone different from Teng’s dramatic Japanese melodies such as “Tsugunai” (“Atonement”), will be included in a three-CD album of Miki’s compositions to be released on June 25, according to the source.
An official of Universal Music found the song recorded on a tape stored in a warehouse in Tokyo several years ago while trying to sort past recordings.
As the song was untitled, Araki named it “Love Song wa Yogiri ga Osuki”, which translates as “Love songs like fog at night.”
