Providing that Friday night City Pop tune, I've got the second entry on the blog of this obscure duo which almost had Toshiki Kadomatsu（角松敏生）as one-half of that partnership.
You can get to know some of that story in the first article that I wrote about the duo Step consisting of Seiken Komura（小村精権）and Kojiro Nishimori（西森幸次郎）. But here, I have another number performed by them, "Remember Me" from 1982. I don't know whether this was one of their three singles or simply a track on their lone album "Rising Tomorrow". However, I do know that this is a groovy and pleasant tune that straddles the border between AOR and City Pop.
For me, I think what sells me on "Remember Me" is those sparkly keyboards and that certain guitar that weaves in and out of the arrangement. The song reminds me somewhat of the melodic output by AB'S Makoto Matsushita（松下誠）and Fujimal Yoshino（吉野藤丸）.
Thank you! I love this song too so groovy but no one knows it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for enjoying it. STEP is one of those hidden pleasures so at least we know about it, and because of that, people will gradually get to know about it.:)
DeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the song and yet I have something to ask of you,
There is an unknown song circulating on the internet that I believe (contrary to the majority) to be old JPop or city pop. You only have to look up Everyone knows that on Youtube to find it. Please listen to it and contact me at emmakarinson@gmail.com.
Hello, Emma.
DeleteThanks for the comment. There are actually a few such songs that I've been contacted about that fall under that category, so unfortunately your description is too sparse. Why don't you send over the YouTube URL here and I can help out if I can?
