Hi-Fi Set -- Angels Fly-Tenshi no Kisetsu （天使の季節）

I'd been wondering for some months when a video for this song would be popping up on YouTube, and luckily enough, it did a couple of days ago (not anymore). On the heels of nikala putting up her great post a few days ago on a wonderful Hi-Fi Set classic, "Sky Restaurant", I wanted to put up a post on one of their last singles before the trio of Shigeru Okawa（大川茂）and Junko & Toshihiko Yamamoto（山本潤子・俊彦） broke up in 1994.

"Angels Fly ～Tenshi no Kisetsu"(Angels' Season) was this sunny pop song that was used for a Hitachi air conditioner commercial in 1990. Released in March, the song got a lot of heavy rotation on the telly because of the ad, and it was enough for me to get the album that it got included on, "White Moon", Hi-Fi Set's 3rd-last album, released just a few weeks after the single. Written by Megumi Sato（佐藤めぐみ） and composed by member Toshihiko Yamamoto, Junko's classic and characteristic backing vocal may not have been in this song, but the trio still sounded in fine fettle with that refreshing feeling....it probably was perfect for an air conditioner commercial in that sense.

I think the other reason that I went for the album was that having heard the group's far earlier material on "Sounds of Japan" back in Toronto, I was a bit surprised that Hi-Fi Set was still releasing songs as late as the turn of the decade from the 80s to the 90s. I just wanted to see and hear how they were doing after all these years.

PS Just looking around for Hi-Fi Set, I came across this decade-old blog at cress30.exblog.jp which has a list of Japanese singers and their works....along with their album/single covers which you might find interesting.
