Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Infobox song Шаблон:Nihongo4 (also known as "Seventeen") is the debut single by Japanese singer Saori Minami. Composed by Kyōhei Tsutsumi with lyrics by Mieko Arima, the single was released by CBS Sony on June 1, 1971. Tsutsumi based the song on "Rose Garden" by Lynn Anderson when he learned it was Minami's favorite song. Arima, who was 40 years old at the time, surprised her close friends when she was able to express the feelings of a 17-year-old girl in the song's lyrics.[1][2]

The jacket cover features Minami wearing a shirt that has a drawing of a crab, which symbolizes Cancer as her zodiac sign. Stickers of a crab mascot were distributed in the campaign promoting the single.[1]

The song peaked at No. 2 on Oricon's singles chart and was the 11th best selling single of 1971 in Japan, catapulting her into stardom as an idol.[1][3][4] It also earned Minami numerous awards such as the Best New Artist at the 1971 Japan Music Awards and the Gold Prize at the 1971 Shinjuku Music Festival. Minami was also nominated for Best New Artist at the 13th Japan Record Awards, but lost to Rumiko Koyanagi. The song gave Minami the top spot in the red team on the 22nd Kōhaku Uta Gassen.[5]

Chisato Moritaka version

Шаблон:Infobox song Шаблон:Infobox album A cover version of "17-sai" was recorded by Chisato Moritaka and released by Warner Pioneer on May 25, 1989 as her seventh single. She debuted the song during her Mite ~Special~ Live Tour earlier that year. This version is known for its Eurobeat arrangement and Moritaka's catchy dance choreography on live performances, which often features colorful costumes with flashy miniskirts. The single peaked at No. 8 on Oricon's singles chart and sold 195,000 copies, making it her first top 10 single and her first single to sell over 100,000 copies.[6] It was also ranked at No. 43 on Oricon's 1989 year-ending chart.[7][8][1] Moritaka's "17-sai" was nominated for the Grand Prix at the 22nd Japan Cable Awards, but lost to Princess Princess' "Diamonds".[9]

Two other versions of the song appear in Moritaka's fourth album Hijitsuryokuha Sengen. The first is Шаблон:Nihongo4, an indie pop version arranged by Masataro Naoe of the band Carnation. The second is Шаблон:Nihongo4, which is an extended remix of the single.[10] In addition, a different remix of "17-sai" is included in the 1989 remix album Moritaka Land.

The music video of "17-sai" features Moritaka dancing in three color variants of her signature dance outfit. The white/blue outfit shown on the LaserDisc cover does not appear in the video, but was as prominent on live and TV performances as the blue/yellow version.[11] The contents of the original LD release were compiled in the 2000 DVD Chisato Moritaka DVD Collection No. 5: Mite/The Stress/17-sai.[12]

In the years since the release of the music video, Moritaka's "17-sai" costume has been replicated by other artists. In 2010, Rina Koike wore the white/blue outfit to promote her gravure book, also titled 17-sai.[13] Erina Mano wore a variation of the white/blue costume in the music video of her 2012 single "Doki Doki Baby".[14]

Moritaka re-recorded the song on both vocals and drums and uploaded the video on her YouTube channel on January 5, 2013.[15] This version is also included in Moritaka's 2013 self-covers DVD album Love Vol. 3.[16] During her "Premium Nights @ Cotton Club" show on December 11, 2015, she introduced a smooth R&B arrangement of the song called Шаблон:Nihongo4.[17]
