This song is old Taiwanese pop song which was written in 1949 by 張邱東松. Original version was sang by 郭金發. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5HLfRzVPR0
Then, many Taiwanese singers have covered this song including Teresa Teng. Our version is consistently original arrangement, but basically referenced to Teresa Teng's version in 1971.

In this video, Yuichi Onoue plays his handmade ribbon controller. It can change a oscillator pitch smoothly, depending on the place which you press down. It was originally made as a kind of MOOG SYNTHESIZER's controller in late 60's. I made this following its example. And playing style is self-taught.
