I've always loved that cover on Kozo Murashita's(村下孝蔵)"Utabito ~ Song Collection"(歌人〜ソングコレクション〜......Poet)...so very innocent and Japanese.
Originally released as a track of Murashita's debut album, "Kiteki ga Kikoeru Machi"(汽笛が聞こえる街...The Town Where I Can Hear The Steam Whistle) in July 1980, the ballad is beautiful but probably not the thing to hear just after a breakup. And perhaps a more upbeat tune would have been more apropos for a Friday night, but it's been a good long while since I put up one of his songs, and it's very relaxing to hear some of his old tunes. I also have to say that the video above is really well done and I hope it stays up a good long time (sorry, but it didn't).
