Emiri Kanou -- Koi se yo Otome(恋せよ乙女)

 

Happy Monday! The last time I wrote about contemporary aidoru and singer-songwriter Emiri Kanou(加納エミリ)was just a little over a year ago when I encountered her nifty collaboration with New Wave dandy Makoto Francis Ori(小里誠), "Sabakaru Emiri"(裁かるゝエミリ)from 2023. However, it still feels as if an eternity has gone by since that last one.

Well, I've decided to start this KKP business week with another Kanou song, but this one goes back all the way to her beginnings in the late 2010s. In fact, this is the opening track from her debut album "GREENPOP", which was released in November 2019. "Koi se yo Otome" (Fall In Love, Maiden) is fully in love with 80s synthpop and the music video makes sure everyone knows that this is no coincidence. That intro even reminds me a tad of Madonna's "Borderline". Kanou took care of both words and music.
