I remember when I first wrote about that band with the unique name, I Re'in For Re'in（アイリーン・フォーリーン）, back in 2020, their J-Wiki article put them down as a pop-rock unit. However, that first KKP article on them, "Private Girl" was definitely more of a groove-laden City Pop tune of the night.
Ah, but this time, that song's track mate from I Re'in For Re'in's (Wow! Three apostrophes in one name.) fourth album from 1988, "Body & Voice", is "Byakuya" (Night Under the Midnight Sun). The song, which was written and composed by band member Takaaki Yasuoka（安岡孝章）, is more in keeping with that pop-rock style that I'd read about. In fact, I'd say that "Byakuya" comes off as a predecessor for all of those songs that were to come in the 1990s by bands such as DEEN and WANDS.
