It looks like today is going to be all about the first-person songs. After "Myself" by Nachiko Tateoka（舘岡奈智子）, I now have "I am" by cool BLU-SWING.
A track on the band's 10th-anniversary BEST album from 2019, "I am" is something along the lines of a fresh pop/City Pop tune of the 21st century. I would label it spearmint. It's not quite the clubby sort of song that I've associated BLU-SWING with, but it still has that groovy bass and in a nice little addition, I swear that "I am" even has some of that Tatsuro Yamashita-friendly saxophone. Lyrics were provided by vocalist Yuri Tanaka（田中裕梨）and music by keyboardist Yusuke Nakamura（中村祐介）.
The music video above is an economically-sized version. Y'know...there is a splendid beach, three abandoned chairs and a dancer. Why not?
