Katsumi's "Just Time Girl"was the song for a Kao shampoo commercial that was just so sunny and bouncy that I decided to get the single. And shouldn't all hair be sunny and bouncy? It's also one of those nostalgic songs from the early 90s because of those synths back then.
Katsumi was born Katsumi Watanabe（渡辺克己） in Ibaraki Prefecture and was playing in bands in the Tokyo area during the 80s when he gave his demo tape to someone in the music industry. He officially debuted in 1990 with "Shining in the Night". "Just Time Girl" was Katsumi's 4th single, released in April 1991 which ended up being the 35th-ranked song of the year. I also bought his 2nd album, "One", which has "Just Time Girl" and whose title track was basically the singer's tribute to all things Freddie Mercury, his inspiration.
And here is the commercial with "Just Time Girl". Sunny and bouncy forever!
