JADOES -- I Wanna Hold You Tonight


Indeed, it's Friday. As such, I've got another City Pop song for tonight, thanks to the sweet sounds of JADOES.

Compared to the city funk of "Friday Night" from their "It's Friday" album (1986), its track mate "I Wanna Hold You Tonight" has more of the breezy summer love ballad feeling, and probably his fans on listening to this one quickly pegged "I Wanna Hold You Tonight" as a Toshiki Kadomatsu（角松敏生） creation. They would be correct.

Instead of hitting the streets of Shinjuku in a glossy red convertible, JADOES take things to a simple romantic walk along the beach at sunset with this ballad. Shades of Anri（杏里）, Miho Nakayama（中山美穂）in ballad mode, and maybe even some Omega Tribe come to mind.
