Chikaco Sawada -- Silent Rain

 

Well, the gloom outside has opened up into rain so we're getting plenty of that now. Mind you, it's been a while since we've gotten some precipitation so this should be a blessing.

Anyways, I have "Silent Rain" by singer-songwriter Chikaco Sawada(沢田知可子). This was the coupling song to Sawada's hit single "Aitai"(会いたい)from June 1990. Written by Natsumi Watanabe(渡辺なつみ)and composed by the singer herself with arrangement by Masaki Iwamoto(岩本正樹), hearing those keyboards gave me some instant nostalgia about how Japanese pop music sounded back a few decades ago. Although the subject matter of heartbreak is a bit of a downer, the music is pretty darn chirpy, especially compared to the far more wistful and melancholy nature of "Aitai".
