Back in late spring, I posted an article on the City Pop duo DEW consisting of guitarist Hiroshi Yasukawa（安川ひろし）and keyboardist/producer Nobuo Kurata（倉田信雄）. They didn't last too long together but were able to put out one single and one album in 1980.
Whereas the first one was on the single "Atsui Sasayaki"（熱いささやき）, this article will look at one track from the album "1st", and though we're still three weeks away, the title is "Aki" (Autumn). Written by DEW and composed by Yasukawa, we learn pretty quickly that the two really did like their bossa nova or samba, but "Aki" kinda stumbles out the gate before everyone and everything right themselves into something smoother and more pleasant. Not sure who's singing here but he's evidently decided to go the Akira Terao（寺尾聰）route by going low and soft with the vocals.
