I guess today's been the Urban Contemporary Friday with the songs of mixed genres coming in fast and strong. All the better and no complaints here.
This one is no exception either. Straight from Etsuko Sai's（彩恵津子）2nd original album from March 1985, "All I Need", I give you "Keredo Only You" (But Only You). Short and sweet at just a shade over three minutes, it still manages to contribute some upbeat music with some of that Motown magic mixed in with the regular City Pop. Bobbysoxers can slip and slide in their socks to this one. Shun Taguchi（田口俊）was responsible for the lyrics while Masakazu Togo（東郷昌和）from the 70s duo Buzz took care of the music.
Thought this would be a good post to let you know that coming this February, there's going to be a comprehensive guidebook for Japanese R&B from the 90's and 00's. I know you have covered books before for City Pop, but this looks to be the first to cover Japanese R&B.
