Hitomi Tohyama -- Velvet Morning

 

Well, it's more like a snowy morning there. It was one of the relatively rare times that heavy snow got plopped onto Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture back in 2010. I hope that I didn't have to go to work on that day.

But it was a "Velvet Morning" for Hitomi Penny Tohyama(当山ひとみ)when she sang this track from her October 1985 album "Human Voice". I guess I'm following Miho Nakayama's(中山美穂)"Keep Awake" with another romantically satisfying (and remarkably guilt-free) morning-after situation. Shun Taguchi's(田口俊)lyrics tell the tale of a tryst at what seems like a seaside Motel 6 with the lady declaring that she's more than happy with a Coke and a rusty bicycle rather than champagne and a limo when it comes to spending time with her guy. Yoshihiro Yonekura(米倉良宏)came up with the oh-so-calming melody thanks to the keyboards and the guitar plucking away.
