As Kayo Grace Kyoku gets ready for her own New Year's Eve party, I also have to take care of something. One commenter a few days ago asked me about one remaining song in 80s aidoru Reiko Takahashi's（高橋玲子）brief discography which was the B-side to her 1986 debut single, "Love Song wa Utaenai"（ラブソングは唄えない）. Noting that this is the final day of 2024, I should clean things up as we make the transition into a new year.
That B-side is "Kitto Only You" (Only You For Sure) which was created by the same tandem behind the A-side, lyricist Junko Sato（佐藤純子）and composer Hiroaki Serizawa（芹澤廣明）. As would be the case for a Serizawa composition, there is that rock taste in there bordering on West Coast AOR, and Takahashi retains some of that languid Shizuka Kudo-like（工藤静香）feeling in her vocals although in that lower register aside from the chorus. Generally, "Kitto Only You" has a more upbeat feeling than the more urgent "Love Song wa Utaenai".
Unless something really big comes up, this will be my final entry for 2024. If I'm not mistaken we will finish this year with 1,032 entries and I'd like to thank anyone who has come onto the blog for contributions, commentary or just plain reading this year. I hope that we will continue to do the same in 2025. Happy New Year and we'll see you tomorrow on January 1st.🎉
