Good to hear from you again.
Yea...Hi, Nekromantis. Good to hear from you again.<br /><br />Yeah, that first time I saw her at the 1981 Kohaku Utagassen singing "Smile For Me", I just went "Awwwwwwwwwwwww..." I simply wanted to adopt her as my little sister (although she's actually a couple of years older than me). "Soyokaze no Melody" from your link brought back some pangs of memory for me as well.<br /><br />As for the teeth....that was one of the first interesting things that I discovered about Japanese popular culture. "Yaeba" was actually considered to be the most darling feature for aidoru back then. Over here, when I had a similar situation with my own teeth, I got dragged to the orthodontist for the next 5 years! :)J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-45046732225938780642014-07-15T18:07:48.931-04:002014-07-15T18:07:48.931-04:00My first touch to Naoko Kawai's music was MEMB...My first touch to Naoko Kawai's music was MEMBERS ONLY album which (while being quite alright synth heavy adult pop) didn't impress me that much back then. When I got to hear her earlier material my opinion on Naoko changed though. Some really classy stuff there... Ookina Mori no Chiisana Ouchi, Young Boy, Hurricane Kid, 17sai, Smile For Me, Kenka wo Yamete, Soyokaze no Melody for example. <br /><br />Ookina Mori no Chiisana Ouchi captures perhaps best Naoko's cute aidoru period:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zQsfAlDBwk<br /><br />And I do love her teeth! :)Nekromantishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439391978636334926noreply@blogger.com
