Ahhh...the image of the chaise lounge, international symbol for all things Fashion Music or the Japanese take on Baroque Pop. It's been a while since we've seen a song from that area so allow me to present another one.
I think the last time I posted on the late Chika Ueda（上田知華）along with her string group Karyobin was last year with their "Minuet" from 1978. Well, this time, we're going ahead a few years to 1981 when they released their 6th single "See You Again ~ Hatsukoi" (First Love). The lovely music and arrangement provided by Ueda address those lyrics of someone gently coaxing the person she loves out of his shell, realizing that it will take a fair bit of time. Those lyrics were provided by Kenji Kadoya（門谷憲二）, a writer who's had his fair share of Fashion Music experience with another singer, Mieko Nishijima（西島三重子）.
Baroque Pop is right, and I dig the strings in this! I think this is first time I have heard of the Fashion Music genre and I am liking what I hear.
