microstar -- Tomodachi ni Narou(友達になろう)


Less than a day after putting up the article for Michiru Hoshino's(星野みちる)"Koi no Funfair"(恋のファンフェアー)which was composed by microstar's Seiki Sato(佐藤清喜), in popped "Tomodachi ni Narou" (We'll Be Friends) on YouTube today.


A song from microstar's 2016 album "She Got The Blues", "Tomodachi ni Narou" stands out from its trackmates, the jazzy "Yuugure Girl"(夕暮れガール)and the disco "Tiny Spark" in that it sounds like a contemporary and bouncy Shibuya-kei entry which could adorn any Japanese romantic comedy soundtrack. Written and composed by Sato and vocalist Yuko Iizumi(飯泉裕子), the lyrics are a cheerful reassurance that no one needs to be alone and a blossoming friendship is just around the corner if both parties are willing.

Certainly it's one of those songs that can keep the rain at bay. We here in Toronto could definitely use some shielding right now since we're due for some of the heavy stuff later tonight.
