I also received my first rejection from CD Japan due to a distinct lack of demand of that particular CD, so it was somewhat disappointing.<br /><br />Tachi can pull off Ishihara since he has that certain swagger about him, and I gotta say that he does look good in a tuxedo.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-25961875555580530882015-08-15T22:29:44.822-04:002015-08-15T22:29:44.822-04:00Hi J-Canuck,

Another pain that I have only experienced on this round of shopping (so far) is when they tell you that one of your items is unavailable; in my case, it was Mae-Kiyo's "Semete Konya dake wa" single from 2007. I pretty much live by "if the opportunity to get a treasured song comes up, we go get it!" when choosing which CDs to buy.<br /><br />So far, I don't think Maekawa has done a tribute album to Ishihara, but I know that he had sung "Yogiri yo Konya mo Arigato" on one of his appearances on the Kohaku in the mid 2000s, which was pretty good. Hiroshi Tachi has done one such album in 2012, "Hiroshi Tachi sings Yujiro". I love his version of "Arashi wo Yobu Otoko"; it's more aggressive, funky and so... Tachi... I'm thinking of getting that on the next round of CD shopping, and hopefully one of his compilation albums...Noelle Thamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869350840856391942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-34925795557042885562015-08-15T16:40:08.850-04:002015-08-15T16:40:08.850-04:00Hello, Noelle.

But as true fans of the kayo, if the opportunity to get a treasured song comes out, we go get it! :)<br /><br />Listening to "Showa Tazune Bito", there is indeed that nostalgic feeling of going back in time in a way. It's like visiting some of the shitamachi neighbourhoods like Kanda, Asakusa or Sugamo with the small group of kayo singers from way back. They probably finish off the tour by dropping off at one of those tiny nomiya for drinks and a good laugh.<br /><br />Perhaps there is an Ishihara tribute album somewhere out there in which Mae-Kiyo has done a cover of a song by The Tough Guy.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.com
