Kayo Grace is once again in the giving mood because it is Valentine's Day after all. In the past, I've already given my lists for "love" songs and "valentine" tunes, so we'll keep things simple this year and focus on an individual song.
Remembering that one of the songs on the "love" list was Off-Course's（オフコース） "I Love You", I decided to check whether the love extended onto the B-side of this 1981 single. Sure enough, I was right. There is "Yoru wa Futari de" (The Two of Us Tonight), a song that has probably never made it onto any album by the band.
It's certainly a new one to me. Written by Mitsutoshi Ambe（安部光俊）and Yasuhiro Suzuki（鈴木康博）with Suzuki also taking care of the melody, the verses and the chorus seem to take on different moods with the former hinting at some uncertainty in the relationship while the latter reassures that things are perfectly fine since the two in the title are two in the bed. Ahem. The music has that AOR feeling especially with some of that TOTO-esque piano pounding.
