It's been over eighteen months since I put up a Maiko Nakano（中野麻衣子）song on KKP, but I figure that today is the right time since it is Urban Contemporary Friday and with Japan also in Christmas mode, people are probably getting into the party spirit.
And yep, I was nicely reminded how snazzy her discography was back in the 1990s. The last song that I wrote about her back at the end of March 2023 was "Imitation Blue" from her 1991 album "Bay Side Story". Well just a couple of tracks down from that one is "Shuumatsu no Lovelorn Girl" (Weekend Lovelorn Girl). Written by Shun Taguchi（田口俊）and composed/arranged by Tatsuya Nishiwaki（西脇辰弥）from the band PAZZ, it seems to possess that feeling of caviar-and-champagne brand of City Pop brought over from Bubble Era Japan, just the thing to stride down that big boulevard at night while savoring some rich times.
