Well, considering that earlier today I wrote about GREAT3, it's time to bring in the family connections once again. As I mentioned for the first article featuring singer Heaco, she happens to be the sister-in-law of Akito Katayose（片寄明人）from that trio of tall singer-songwriters.
Heaco only released two albums with the second one being "Perfect Circle" from November 2000, and from it is a cover of Yumi Arai's（荒井由実）"Ame no Station" (Rainy Station) which was originally from her "Cobalt Hour" album of 1975. Aside from some contemporary accoutrements, Heaco's take on one of Yuming's（ユーミン）classics pretty much follows the tempo and atmosphere of the original song, and the singer adds that nice breathy huskiness in her vocals.
It's a nice mellow tune to hear on another Monday evening, holiday or otherwise. Speaking of rain, we may be getting smacked with a thunderstorm in the next couple of days, and we could use the moisture since it's been a fairly dry May.
