Another pleasant Sunday out there...the rays of the sun are literally and figuratively reflective of autumn but the something-close-to-summery temperatures continue so it's quite good out there.
I have another Seiko Tomizawa（富沢聖子）song for you, following up from her "Ku-gatsu no Melody"（9月のメロディ）last month. "Anata to Southern Island" (You and the Southern Island) was the B-side to her 1984 single "Colonial Hotel no Dekigoto"（コロニアルホテルの出来事...The Happening at the Colonial Hotel） which is a pretty specific title, accommodations-wise. I was sorely tempted to place this into City Pop like some of her other songs, but if anything, the calm blue ocean arrangement by Mitsuo Hagita（萩田光雄）and Tomizawa's high and floaty vocals actually almost take things into the aidoru category. So, I'd say that this was contemporary but not urban contemporary. The melody was composed by Ken Sato（佐藤健）while Machiko Ryu（竜真知子）took care of the lyrics of love down south.
