Yutaka Kimura Speaks ~ Japanese City Pop Masterpieces 100: Piper -- Photograph

 

Number: 071

Lyricist: Hiroshi Akitsugu

Composer: Keisuke Yamamoto

Arranger: Piper

From Piper's 1985 album: "Lovers Logic"

Piper's "Photograph" is a summer mellow ballad with a unique groove born out of its percussion style. Featuring Keisuke Yamamoto（山本圭右）, who has a strong British bent, the band can be said to be characterized by a hint of darkness in their melodies, sounds, and vocals. Along with an added chorus in the single version of this song, "Photograph" can be further recommended for its comfortable arrangement.

The above comes from "Disc Collection Japanese City Pop Revised" (2020).
