Noriko Ogawa -- Kore de Ii no(これでいいの)



Discovered another Noriko Ogawa(小川範子)song that I liked just in the last few hours. Amazing this YouTube. "Kore de Ii no" (It's Fine as It Is), a track originally from Ogawa's 5th album "Doushite Konna ni Suki nan darou"(どうしてこんなに好きなんだろう...Why Do I Love Him So Much?)which was released in August 1992.

From listening to her debut single from 1987, "Namida wo Tabanete"(涙をたばねて), I got that impression that Ogawa the aidoru may have tackled songs with a bit more style. However, I think several years later, I can't really say that she was an aidoru by the time of "Kore de Ii no" which is solidly in the pop vein. Written by Ayuko Ishikawa(石川あゆ子)and composed by Toshiaki Matsumoto(松本俊明), there is a certain dreaminess in the song with a bit of urban contemporary balladry.
