Ai Tomioka -- Present（ぷれぜんと。）

Once again, we have another Hump Day and for me, it's been one of the humpier days this year. So, perhaps I could use with something a little soothing to start off this KKP day.

Back in August, I found out about this guitar-slinging singer-songwriter by the name of Ai Tomioka（冨岡愛）who's had a bit of an international background. I enjoyed her September 2023 5th single "Good bye-bye"（グッバイバイ）, and I wanted to see what else she's been doing. Well, her preceding 4th single "Present" has also been quite fine. Different from the country ballad of "Good bye-bye", "Present" from August 2022 is more of a 70s gospel soul-tinged mid-tempo pop number. It's very pleasant and the only problem with it is that it's a tad short at less than 3 1/2 minutes.
