Yutaka Kimura Speaks ~ Japanese City Pop Masterpieces 100: Jin Kirigaya -- Weekend Game(ウィークエンド・ゲーム)

 


Number: 012

Lyricist: Masako Arikawa

Composer: Jin Kirigaya

Arranger: Kazuo Shiina

From Jin Kirigaya's 1984 album: "Vermilion"

"Weekend Game" is a nice and medium-tempo song from Jin Kirigaya's(桐ケ谷仁)4th album backed up by Tatsuro Yamashita's(山下達郎)band and Kazuo Shiina's(椎名和夫)arrangement that goes well with a summer afternoon nap. Having to leave his girlfriend at the office in the city who's busy with work, a fellow spends some carefree time at the weekend resort by himself while naturally waiting for her. For a guy, it really is the ideal weekend trip. No matter where you are, it's a comfortable tune.

The above comes from "Disc Collection Japanese City Pop Revised" (2020).
