I'm a fan of this singer. This is a song released in 1977 titiled "Katteni-shiyagare"(勝手にしやがれ） , which describes how a man cannot stop his girlfriend leaving him. This song sold very well in Japan, and won various prizes.

Kenji Sawada（沢田研二）, 29 years old then, sang it. His debut was in 1967 as a member of a band "The Tigers", and later became a solo singer. He's now 63, has been releasing new songs and singing on stages, admired by many fans, including me. You can see how he sang in Tube.
