Electronically speaking, it hasn't been a great weekend. Our television was having conniptions for a few hours before returning to normal, and then this morning, the microwave oven turned into a zombie. Just shutting the door activates it, and there's nothing more unsettling than a device that emits radiation without any control. As such, the stress levels are a bit up for a sunny Sunday.
In such a case, I need something very relaxing, even if to take my mind off of appliances for a while. And so, I found this bossa jazz number by paris match from their June 2003 album "Quattro". I immediately thought of pizza when I saw the title, but all joking aside, their "Stay with Me" makes for a pleasant de-stressor, thanks to the laidback bossa nova rhythms and Mari Mizuno's（ミズノマリ）soothing vocals. She was definitely giving off some fine Astrud Gilberto vibes. Lyrics were provided by Tai Furusawa（古澤大）, and music was by paris match composer Yosuke Sugiyama（杉山洋介）.
Yup, when I also first saw the title of the song "Stay with Me", I was reminded of Miki Matsubara's（松原みき） magnum opus "Mayonaka no Door"（真夜中のドアー）, but of course, the two songs are totally different animals. However, in their own way, both have a lot of appeal. Having said that, the search is now on for that new microwave.
