"Douzo Kono Mama"has gotten onto a number of kayo kyoku compilation albums, but it originally got onto Maruyama's 2nd album, "Tasogare Memory"(黄昏めもりい....Twilight Memory), also released in 1976.
I've been a fan of Japanese popular music for 40 years, and have managed to collect a lot of material during that time. So I decided I wanted to talk about Showa Era music with like-minded fans. My particular era is the 70s and 80s (thus the "kayo kyoku"). The plus part includes a number of songs and artists from the last 30 years and also the early kayo. So, let's talk about New Music, aidoru, City Pop and enka.

Thank you for share info about this beautiful bossa nova atmosferic song, any similar in style song you might heard?
ReplyDeleteHello there. Bossa nova has always been an ingredient that Japanese pop singers have loved to include in their music. You can try exploring through the Latin category in the Labels section. There are also a couple of recommendations I have as well.
