Miyuki Kajitani -- Kiss The Sunlight

 

So far, singer-songwriter Miyuki Kajitani(梶谷美由紀)has been represented on "Kayo Kyoku Plus" for her contribution to the "Sailor Moon" franchise with the happy-go-lucky ""Rashiku" Ikimasho"(”らしく” いきましょ)ending theme. And on her J-Wiki page, it's been said that she's been mostly known for her anison.

However, Kajitani did release her 5th single in November 1996, "Kiss The Sunlight", which apparently didn't have any anime connections (although it was used as the ending theme for a weekly animal documentary program on TBS). It's also quite the peppy bossa-pop number that starts with a rollicking keyboard sequence that I quite like. For a while, I thought maybe it could also qualify as a Shibuya-kei piece but ultimately I went with Latin and Pop. Kenzo Saeki(サエキけんぞう)and Kajitani were the lyricists here while Hirofumi Suzuki(鈴木博文)took care of the amiable melody.
