Hitomitoi -- Garasu no Summer Holiday(硝子のサマーホリデー)

 

I was actually saving this up for the arrival of the appropriate season several months down the line but I figure that being in February (aka the winter doldrums) and not having featured Neo-City Pop chanteuse Hitomitoi(一十三十一)in several months, perhaps it wouldn't hurt to have something summery today. Maybe it can bring in a bit of sun to part some of this seasonal drear.

"Garasu no Summer Holiday" (Glass Summer Holiday) is a track from Hitomitoi's December 2014 mini-album "Pacific High/Aleutian Low" (considering that release date, maybe the singer was also thinking the same thing about bringing in that bit of summer). Written and composed by her with a composer credit given as well to Tokyo DJ and music producer Grooveman Spot, it's got some crystalline keyboards, jangly guitar and even a soprano saxophone to keep the beat going. It sounds exactly how the photogenic Hitomitoi is basking on that lounge chair on the cover of the album. 

Anyways, I'm feeling quite toasty warm so I don't think that I'll quite need the cardigan now. Just hoping that the spring temperatures really do come soon.
