Taizo Jinnouchi -- Dadaism

Up to this point, the only song by singer-songwriter Taizo Jinnouchi（陣内大蔵）that I'd ever known was a reggae-inflected Xmas number, although I also recollect seeing "Eye-Ai" feature him prominently in one of its issues. The photo above is from that article.

However, if any of his other songs are as catchy as his "Dadaism" then I am all in. Coming from his debut album "Moratorium" from April 1988, I really like the keyboard work, the percussion and how the song just struts its way from beginning to end. Moreover, Jinnouchi has that unique voice with a certain breathless soft rasp.

Jinnouchi was born in Yamaguchi Prefecture, and as a child, he took part in the church choir and studied the violin and piano. He's also been a good friend with Sing Like Talking's Chikuzen Sato（佐藤竹善）.
