"HOW COULD YOU FORGET, J-CANUCK?! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!"😭
All right, mea culpa from me. I had forgotten about Mariya Takeuchi's（竹内まりや） birthday yesterday until I saw one of my fellow Twitter buddies mention the fact. But in my defense, I did remember a day ahead of schedule last year when I put up her "Kanashiki Night & Day"（悲しきNIGHT & DAY）. And let's be honest, I was never good with birthdays outside of the members of my own family.
Regardless, a Happy (Belated) Birthday to Ms. Takeuchi! As such, I am going with the B-side to her September 1981 8th single "Special Delivery", "Crying All Night Long". The singer came up with the all-English lyrics about a woman doing some heavy-duty expulsion of lachrymal fluid since her guys may have decided to leave her for another woman. Meanwhile, singer-songwriter Ginji Ito（伊藤銀次）came up with the interesting mix of country and perhaps some disco-infused pop. I'm getting some Melissa Manchester vibes from this one.
I'm now going to Gibbs slap myself upside the head with one of her pictures.
