Hard to believe but 70s aidoru and actor Goro Noguchi（野口五郎）will be celebrating his 67th birthday late next month so would like to wish him an early Happy Birthday just in case I forget.
The purge of videos from my backlog that I realized no longer needed to be there continues, but I did find one that needed a home. That would be Noguchi's "Love Flight", the first track from his May 1979 album "The Southern Cross"（南十字星）. Written by Keisuke Yamakawa（山川啓介）and composed by Noguchi's brother Hiroshi Sato（佐藤寛...not the famous keyboardist）, it has quite an underlying 1970s City Pop rhythm supporting a tour de force of horns and rock guitar. I'd be interested if the band Spectrum（スペクトラム）was helping out here.
Noguchi cuts quite a dashing figure on the cover of "The Southern Cross". One wonders whether "Love Flight" could have made for the appropriate theme song for a thriller starring the singer himself.
