Chie Yokoyama -- For Me

The last time I wrote about Chie Yokoyama（横山知枝）was for her "For You" which was a cover of Ami Ozaki's（尾崎亜美）soft love song from her October 1979 5th album "Little Fantasy".

I gather then that a couple of years later, it would be logical for me to write about "For Me" from Yokoyama's discography which ended up on her debut album "Bloomin'" from 1992. Not surprisingly, both "For You" and "For Me" are side-by-side trackmates with the latter also being written and composed by Ozaki. The difference is that "For Me" is a fairly bouncy 90s synth-driven number although it has quite a bit to do with love as well. The intro reminded me a lot of the one for DEEN's "Hitomi Sorasanai de"（瞳そらさないで）from 1994.

For that matter, a song by Yokoyama that I first heard years ago when I used to watch the Fuji-TV variety show "Yamadakatsutenai Terebi"（やまだかつてないテレビ）, "Happy Birthday" starts off "Bloomin'". For all intents and purposes though, this was the only album by Yokoyama with a much later album "Furano Chapel Concert"（富良野チャペルコンサート）in 2000 being a commemorative compilation featuring different singers including Yokoyama who was then going by the name of Chiemi.
