Shibata's cover album was one of the great resource for me .May Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03707418373160693231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-78543770740690281062015-05-14T22:28:48.484-04:002015-05-14T22:28:48.484-04:00Hi May.
I think that kayo kyoku segment on "...Hi May.<br /><br />I think that kayo kyoku segment on "SMAP X SMAP" was great to re-introduce some of the classics to the younger generation. In a way, it has helped to a certain extent to keep the older songs alive into the 21st century.<br /><br />Shibata seems to be one of those singers that has been under the radar...or at least under mine. I mean, she never gained a huge profile, but I have a feeling that she has a very devoted circle of fans.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-71273857544656669842015-05-14T00:41:54.349-04:002015-05-14T00:41:54.349-04:00thank you for the information. I came across Kaguy...thank you for the information. I came across Kaguyahime's songs while watching SMAPxSMAP (ha, SMAP again did actually introduce me to many many good songs). back then then have corner called Respect 70s, where SMAP collaborated with the original artists to sing their 70s hit songs. It is now still my favorite ending songs conner. <br /><br />I also like Kandagawa. maybe this is off topic but later I discovered Kandagawa had Vietnamese version (the melody with Vietnamese lyrics). I didn't know that but it used to be popular in the 80s - 90s in Vietnam too.<br /><br />there is also another cover by Jun Shibata, released in 2012, and I was surprised that female voice actually fit the song too. or maybe Jun Shibata's voice is pretty good in her cover.<br /><br />May Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03707418373160693231noreply@blogger.com
