no music, no life, really?

来生 たかお（きすぎ たかお、1950年11月16日 - ）は、日本のシンガーソングライター・作曲家である。
映画『セーラー服と機関銃』の主題歌は、もともとキティ・レコードに属する作曲者の来生たかおが歌う「夢の途中」に決まっていて、レコーディングまで行われていた。しかし、監督の相米慎二が「薬師丸ひろ子に歌わせる」と言いだし、来生は楽曲のみ残して歌手としては下ろされることになった。この件で、たかおの姉でもある作詞者の来生えつこが激怒し、あわやキティ・レコードからCBSソニーへ移籍寸前までいった。結局、来生の「夢の途中」と薬師丸の「セーラー服と機関銃」は、ほぼ同時期にリリースされ、最終的にともにロングヒットした。
