Pleasant final Sunday for August 2022, so perhaps we can start off with some light pop today.
We have here Akiko Yano's（矢野顕子）10th single from 1985, "Ai ga Tarinai" (Not Enough Love). The title may sound sad but this Yano-penned song is a pleasant stroll through the park and it's perky enough to make me wonder whether this had been used as a jingle for some commercial. The synths are in there but I don't think they are to the extent to make this a technopop tune when compared to some of those that she had made back in the early 1980s.
Still, it's a totally dreamy and relaxing song by Yano. Plus, I do like that cover for the single in the thumbnail for the video. Not sure if that is a Mineko Ueda（上田三根子）illustration but I recall seeing some of her works on various examples of Japanese pop culture back in the day.
