Mami Ayukawa -- Smoky Town wo Samayotte(Smoky Town をさまよって)

 

Just for the record, the above from the good people at Good Free Photos is not a photo of San Francisco but of Högakustenbron, Sweden. The more you know, and all that stuff.

When I was listening to singer-songwriter Mami Ayukawa's(鮎川麻弥)"Smoky Town wo Samayotte" (Wandering Through Smoky Town), I was instantly attracted to her melody of samba/bossa nova via the synthesizers and such so that I was also reminded of the song stylings of Matt Bianco. However, I am hoping that the "smoky" in town is referring more to fog rather than photochemical smog. The last thing I need to hear that Ayukawa is suffering from COPD, although I can understand that both can lend to a very atmospheric nightscape in the city. Sorry, a bit anal retentive on my part.😋

"Smoky Town wo Samayotte" is a track on Ayukawa's October 1988 album "Smile"
