Some months ago, I introduced this group onto the blog via their 1979 single "Season/Melody". Kyoko Omiya & Orange（大宮京子&オレンジ）is another one of those obscure groups that I was only able to discover through the "Light Mellow" CD series, a fact for which I will always be grateful to Toshikazu Kanazawa（金澤寿和）, the journalist behind this grand campaign that started in the mid-2010s.
Through their lone 1980 album "Orange", I offer you the track "Toki wo Modoshite" (Bring Back the Time). Written by the same band members who whipped up "Season/Melody", lyricist Yuuji Sato（佐藤雄次）and composer Toshikazu Miura（三浦年一）, unlike the folksy A and B sides, "Toki wo Modoshite" has more of the quieter AOR vibe a la Bread & Butter, and though this particular song hasn't shown up on a "Light Mellow" CD that I own, perhaps it will end up on a similar compilation somewhere if it hasn't already done so.
It would be nice to track down a copy of the album "Orange" since I do appreciate the tenderhearted vocals of Omiya along with the laidback arrangements. We can always have more calming moments during these times.
