Well, despite having written an original article on Mariya Takeuchi's(竹内まりや)great "Variety" album (1984) in 2012 and then even a follow-up on some more of the tracks in 2017, there are still even more tracks to cover. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
(cover version)
Indeed, it is the singer-songwriter who has created this lovely relaxing number which sounds almost as if it should have belonged to a later album. I say this because the arrangement sounds so clear and close to similar Latin music efforts by singers such as Akiko Kobayashi(小林明子)and Hiroko Kokubu(国府弘子)much later at the turn of the decade. I don't usually hear bossa nova from Takeuchi so it was nice to hear this one again after so long. Bring over the caipirinha!
