Naomi Miyanaga -- Party ni Furarete(パーティーにふられて)



I've got another track from Naomi Miyanaga's(宮永尚美)"Moment" debut album (1984). Last September, I wrote about her City Pop "Summer Rain" and the fact that she's another one of those singers of the genre that we don't have a whole lot of information about.

Well, this time the track from "Moment" is "Party ni Furarete" (Rejected at the Party) whose lyrics (which I couldn't find) may be rather unhappy but the song is pretty darn bouncy. I would say that it's a mellow mix of AOR, City Pop and even some kayo; there's something rather old-fashioned and a fair bit jazzy about the overall arrangement and yup, from looking at the images of the original LP, Fujimal Yoshino(芳野藤丸)was behind this. In fact, along with Yumi Morita(森田由美)providing the lyrics, Miki Matsubara(松原みき)was the one who took care of the melody.

Could drink a Planter's Punch alongside this.
