Blue Peppers -- Hachi-gatsu no Kageboushi（八月の影法師）

Welcome to another end of a work week. Hopefully, most of you will be enjoying a full weekend. Met up with an old friend for lunch earlier today and he and his wife will be heading out to Japan for a couple of weeks of vacation. Lucky dog!

Anyways I want to get back to that "Retroactive" album by AOR band Blue Peppers（ブルー・ペパーズ）that I introduced in March this year. There are a few more tracks that I have yet to cover from the November 2017 release, so here is "Hachi-gatsu no Kageboushi" (August Silhouette).

This was the first track from "Retroactive", and as its title intimates, it's a bouncy summer tune that would be nice to listen to at this time of year. Blue Peppers took care of the melody while Masato Inami（伊波真人）provided the lyrics about dreaming of that wonderful girl. I can hear just a bit of Steely Dan and some more of Tomita Lab（富田ラボ）in there. Some really happy soul with "Hachi-gatsu no Kageboushi".
