Spent a lot of the day performing the semi-annual cleaning of the shelves and then putting in the new discs onto them in the right order. This is a downright labour-intensive duty and, boy, are my shoulders harder than granite. I will probably have to vicariously experience a massage via one of those ASMR videos. Such is the virtuality of reality nowadays.
In fact, I would say that "Megami no Migite" has more of a West Coast pop atmosphere as if David Foster helped out in its creation. Actually, it was Hitoshi Haba(羽場仁志)behind the composition with lyricist/copywriter Ichiko Takehana(竹花いち子)providing the words. I do like the period synths, the horns and that incessant keyboard laying down the beat. Nope, it may not be the most original pop song of the decade, but on the radio, there are way worse ways to spend 4 minutes and change. Besides, I'd be willing to purchase "WiNK" just for the zesty cover alone.
Personally found this track yesterday on YouTube. It has a certain loveliness and nostalgia that is hard to put a finger on their sources. Regrettably lyrics in English are not available. Thanks for your work on this article (and on your shelves).
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure...the shelves are fine, the shoulders are OK, the knees...not so great.
