My first two articles on not-as-well-known aidoru Mia Masuda(増田未亜)centered around her 5th single from May 1990 with "Dengekiteki Romance"(電撃的ロマンス)as the A-side and the B-side being "Ame no Hi no Mikazuki"(雨の日三日月). At this point, I think I prefer the B-side.
Well, maybe even "Ame no Hi no Mikazuki" has been eclipsed by Masuda's previous single "Happiness Monogatari" (Happiness Story) which had been released a few months earlier in February. There's something especially calming and nostalgic with her delivery here, almost sounding like some of those aidoru tunes in the mid or late 1980s with aidoru such as Yoko Minamino(南野陽子)and Yuki Saito(斉藤由貴). Machiko Ryu(竜真知子)was responsible for the lyrics while Shuuji Otsuka(大塚修司)took care of the huggable melody which includes those shimmering strings. Maybe it's even reminiscent of Fashion Music...a mix, perhaps which could be labeled Fashion Aidoru or Baroque Aidoru.
