Sachiko Kanenobu -- Sora wa Fukigen(空はふきげん)

 

A couple of years ago, I mentioned about folk singer-songwriter Sachiko Kanenobu(金延幸子)and her "Aoi Sakana"(青い魚)which was a track on the Osakan's first album "Misora"(み空...Beautiful Sky) from September 1972.

In the post for that song, I also stated that most of the members from the band Happy End(はっぴいえんど)helped out on the production of "Misora". Well, this is Eiichi Ohtaki's(大滝詠一)contribution through his composing talents while Kanenobu provided the lyrics. The introspective "Sora wa Fukigen" (Moody Sky) is a quiet and somewhat hopeful song sung beautifully by Kanenobu as a woman does the everyday while trying to forget a romance that has just ended. As with "Aoi Sakana", "Sora wa Fukigen" has that "smell-the-roses" feeling.
