Mariko Kouda -- Issho ni Kaerou ka(一緒に帰ろうか)

 


It's gonna be a blisteringly hot weekend here in the GTA. We may be looking at a Humidex of around 100 degrees Fahrenheit or 40 degrees Celsius. Somehow, we'll try to stay cool.


I've already provided one article on veteran seiyuu/actress/singer/narrator Mariko Kouda(國府田マリ子)for a 1996 song, and here she is above with some castmates during a recording session for an anime. Again, I haven't had a chance to see too many of her works although I did mention her role as the mother in the short and sweet 2018 "Senryu Shojo"(川柳少女...Senryu Girl). I also found out that she had some minor roles in a couple of "PreCure" series.


Well, if it's going to a scorcher out there, then perhaps I can try to contribute a cooling song in the form of Kouda's September 2021 "Issho ni Kaerou ka" (Shall We Go Home Together?). Written by Kouda and AO and composed by bassy, there's something of the nostalgic 90s guitar pop in this one, and I also get some comforting down-home feelings here. Kouda's vocals are clear and refreshing, just like some of that fine cool water that we'll need in abundance for the next couple of days.
