Being the 19th year of the 21st century, I thought about looking for a kayo that has something to do with the number 19, and knowing the penchant for Japanese singers and songwriters to look for a tender young age as the topic of their products, I figure that maybe nineteen would be out there in some titles.
Well, it didn't take too long to track one down, and it's one belonging to singer-songwriter Iruka（イルカ）. For her 14th single from March 1980, she released "Juu-kyuu no Haru ni" (Spring at 19), a wistful and adorable song about a young lady falling in love with a fellow and wanting to know what his room looks like (and most likely more). It's pleasantly folksy but with some fairly spacey sounding keyboards in the mix.
Plus, with those strings and flute in there, I kinda figured that "Juu-kyuu no Haru ni" must have been the theme for some TV show, and sure enough, I found out that it was the theme for a program called "Makenai de Mozu"（負けないでモズ...Hang In There, Mozu）. I've got no idea what the show was about but just judging from Iruka's song, it must have been a home comedy-drama of sorts. In any case, it certainly sounds nice and spring-like.
