Yasuko Kuwata -- Ku-gatsu ga Kite mo(九月が来ても)

 

I just realized that I haven't written about 80s aidoru Yasuko Kuwata(桑田靖子)since 2013 through her single "My Joyful Heart", so allow me to rectify the situation.

This isn't a Kuwata single but a track from her third album "Vacation"(バケーション)released in June 1984. "Ku-gatsu ga Kite mo" (Even When September Comes) is a spritely summer song that launches with a bit of happy West Coast flavour. Her J-Wiki article stated that the aidoru had a good high-toned delivery and I'd say that "Ku-gatsu ga Kite mo" is a nice reflection of those vocals. The song was written by Machiko Ryu(竜真知子)and composed by Wataru Kuniyasu(国安わたる).

From reading that J-Wiki article about her, I found out that her overall catchphrase was "The No. 5 Cutest Girl in Class" which struck me as being rather insulting and mystifying. Even on Kuwata's own blog, the singer-turned-tarento has refuted it as words that someone came up with.
