As I mentioned before, lyricist Miki Fuudo（風堂美起）was once 80s aidoru Mie Takahashi（高橋美枝）from Yokohama. So, I'm still getting a sense of what her aidoru career was like around 40 years ago.
I've already taken care of her debut single "Hitoribocchi wa Kirai"（ひとりぼっちは嫌い）from late 1983, but this time, here is her second single from April 1984, "Angel Fish". Written by Takashi Matsumoto（松本隆）, composed by Yoshitaka Minami（南佳孝）and arranged by Masaaki Omura（大村雅朗）, it's a pleasant summery aidoru tune that evokes the environment where angelfish would swim about in tropical paradise. Although Takahashi doesn't sound anything like her, "Angel Fish" does sounds like an early Seiko Matsuda（松田聖子）song, something that lyricist Matsumoto would know because he did write several songs for the lass.
The B-side is "Double Date" which was also written by Matsumoto, but this time Omura takes care of both music and arrangement. It stands out for a thrumming bass, an electric guitar solo, and some whirlwind strings but there's something about the song that's missing for some reason. And despite the big-time songwriting team, the single only managed to get up to No. 135 on Oricon.
Hey J-Canuck, I'm Adi and I'm a 4th year accounting major. Super odd request but I like to talk with and learn from people , especially if they've have a very intriguing life like yours. Let me know if you're open to grab coffee somewhere in Toronto someday, just for a conversation and maybe I can even ask a few questions if you're ok with that. Again, super odd request so don't hesitate to say no. Take care and enjoy the rest of your week!
