A nice shot from one of the relatively new skyscrapers overlooking Shiodome nestled in between Shimbashi and Ginza. I'm no fan of heights but this was a good view.
If we can recap the life and career of the late Taeko Morino（森野多恵子）, she was once a member of the Group Sounds band The White Kicks alongside bassist and future solo singer/actor Akira Terao（寺尾聰）, and then into the 1980s, she took on the name Harumi Ohzora（大空はるみ）in techno jazz mode. But in between she was also known as Tan Tan in her City Pop element.
The last time I spoke about any incarnation of Morino, it was for Tan Tan's lone 1981 single "Weekend Love" which was some jazzy footloose-and-fancy-free City Pop. On the B-side is "Nigai Hohoemi" (Bitter Smile) which has quite a bit more boogie piano, boppy bass engine and a melodic purpose that is repeated over and over. The lass really needs to get to the disco! The same fellows who took care of the A-side also came up with the catchy "Nigai Hohoemi": lyricist Yoichiro Fukuda（福田陽一郎）, composer Kyohei Tsutsumi（筒美京平）and arranger Masaaki Omura（大村雅朗）. It does sound fit for a drive downtown.
