Nostalgic New Town -- Seaside Breeze

 

It was one of the rare days yesterday (even rarer that it was the first day of the month!) that I didn't post anything on "Kayo Kyoku Plus", and that's because I was out noshing all day on March 1st. I met up with my old friend of thirty years+ standing and enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at Grazie, my favourite Italian restaurant. My main dish was the Prato (most likely named after the area in Tuscany) which had grilled and shredded chicken on top of pasta in a tomato sauce. 

Then, some hours later, I met up with KKP contributor Larry Chan for dinner at Kingyo where the staff showed off a new set called the Kingyo Gozen including a mini-udon with gobo tempura. Very hearty and tasty. Of course, the fates got their revenge on me for engorging myself so much by temporarily cancelling my bus home last night due to a police investigation at the originating subway station, so I ended up walking twenty minutes up and down the pavement home in sub-zero weather. But all of that shivering and walking helped in shedding several hundred calories.

Anyways, I gotta catch up on my quota since I missed out on March 1st, and considering my meals out yesterday, I'm going to start off with something nice and sunny and mild in the hopes that patio weather will soon return to the GTA. I have here Nostalgic New Town which I first introduced back on February 1st with their ski-friendly "Mafuyu no Winter Love"（真冬のWinterLove）from 2023, a song so much in love with the Queen of Winters, Kohmi Hirose（広瀬香美）, that I wouldn't be surprised if the songbird had sent her congratulations.

Well, Nostalgic New Town's debut in 2022 was the much more seasonally different "Seaside Breeze" which brings out images of summer walks, blue skies and bright sun. I think that's vocalist connie helping out here as well. Some very nice groove striding along the beach. So far, that's been it for the output by NNT thus far, unless someone's got some insight to new tunes by the group.
