Mind you, she gave us a small taste of that with albums like "L.A. Blue" where she performed AOR. I should give "ANNIVERSARY" another listen!J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-88555336107351750642021-09-15T19:16:35.653-04:002021-09-15T19:16:35.653-04:00Hi, J-Canuck.

In fact, "ANNIVERSARY" is a pretty nice album with songs like "Asylum" and the hit single "Kita Wing". Anyway, I agree that "Melancholy Festa" is a Momoe-like song, which was also something common during Akina's early years.Marcos V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09531398685057099974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-8499903410072862682021-09-15T14:48:27.485-04:002021-09-15T14:48:27.485-04:00Hi, Marcos.

It's quite the dramatic song...on the line between aidoru and regular pop, and I guess that it can be another example of how Akina was compared to Momoe Yamaguchi, the queen aidoru of the 1970s. <br /><br />Good analogy about the diva nightclub cabaret setting for Akina.:)J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.com
