Yumi Takigawa -- Gozen Rei-ji no Koibito（午前０時の恋人）

 

So far, actress-singer Yumi Takigawa（多岐川裕美）has a short file here on "Kayo Kyoku Plus", but from what I've gleaned from her discography up to this point, she does like her City Pop.

When I first listened to this particular song of hers, "Gozen Rei-ji no Koibito" (12 AM Lovers), I noticed that the source written under the video was her BEST compilation from 1988. There is no way in heck that this tune was created and released in the late 1980s; it sounded more nostalgic than that. And as it turns out, the mellow tune helped along with flugelhorn, Fender and flute was a track on Takigawa's debut album "Sayo"（小夜...Evening） from October 1979. Written by Kohei Oikawa（及川恒平）and composed by Tetsuji Hayashi（林哲司）, this is another sunset cocktail type of City Pop relaxation.

I figured that I could finish this up with a video of any of her commercials since I think she would be very alluring on screen. That she is, but I was taken aback by her promotion of a Tomato and Lemon juice!
