Wow! You couldn't get more Mood Kayo than this chestnut from 1982. The saxophone is in there as is the Latin guitar, plus the haunting chorus and the give & take between the man and woman in this romantic tete-a-tete. And they happen to be brother and sister!
Before we go down into some scary territory with my last statement, allow me to say that Hiroshi Miura & Honey Six（三浦弘とハニーシックス）is a family affair. Starting in 1965, the Miura siblings start with the eldest brother Hiroshi himself followed by Sadao, Haruo, Hisao, Hideki and sister Kyoko. Good golly! It's a Mood Kayo Osmond family!
In 2008, Hiroshi decided to call it a day when he turned 70, so now the group has been renamed Kyoko Miura & Honey Six（三浦京子とハニーシックス）with singer-songwriter Roy Shirakawa（ロイ白川）joining the family.
Hello J-Canuck.
ReplyDeleteWell, that was almost stepping into some Game of Thrones territory up there in the last portion of your first paragraph. I had seen the name of this MK unit from time to time when I revisit some of my favourite Mood Kayo tunes, but I never really had the urge to check out what they sang and I definitely didn't know they were a family, literally.
As for "Konya wa All Night de", you're right, it is very Mood Kayo that's more to the Latin side with that guitar. Y'know, with this being Mood Kayo and all, I doubt that our pair here are happy innocents on a date. More like two different halves of married couples having a secret rendezvous at their usual bar.
The name Hiroshi Miura looked familiar, and as I had thought, he's the one behind another MK classic, "Yoseba ii noni" by Happy & Blue.
Hi, Noelle.
DeleteI've never seen "Game of Thrones" but I've heard enough about it to understand your reference. Yeah, I kinda figure that it's most likely some romantic sin going on at the city hotel.
