Number: 083
Lyricist: Shun Taguchi
Composer: Toshihiko Yamamoto
Arranger: Hiroshi Shinkawa
From the 1984 album: "Pasadena Park"
"Mizuiro no Wagon" (Light Blue Wagon) shows a guy coming across a car with a local number plate and then taking a short trip led by his heart to a nostalgic street corner via an expressway running through the city. The group, which was with CBS/Sony at the time, has a song strongly reminiscent of "Sunao ni Naritai"（素直になりたい）which was created by Masamichi Sugi（杉真理）, but it's also a number that feels like it was truly penned by the Hi-Fi Set（ハイファイセット）members. The gorgeous harmonies are there as usual, and Hiroshi Shinkawa's（新川博）arrangement which hits the key points is also splendid.
The above comes from "Disc Collection Japanese City Pop Revised" (2020).
