(karaoke version)
"Aishitsuzukeru Bolero"(Bolero of Continuing Love) probably will not pop up all that much in a Hiroshi Itsuki retrospective since he has so many other bigger hits in his large arsenal, but it's one song that I've enjoyed listening to since it has that European enka style that I've liked in Teresa Teng's repertoire. As the title may hint, the song sounds like something to tango to. It was written by Yu Aku(阿久悠)and composed by Kyohei Tsutsumi(筒美京平), so the pedigree is there. Released in March 1982, it only went up as high as No. 19 on the Oricon weeklies.
