MASH -- Poreus

 

Just a couple of days ago on Wednesday, I provided Part 1 of The Works of Nobuyuki Shimizu（清水信之）and there I included one of his brief projects which was the band MASH with their variety of City Pop and AOR.

Well, it was just the one 1981 album for MASH, titled "MASH", so I'm bringing over another track called "Poreus". Composed by Naoya Matsuoka（松岡直也）, who was the co-keyboardist alongside his Padawan Shimizu, and written by Yumi Kojima（児島由美）, "Poreus" is more on the West Coast rocking AOR side of things with Yumi Murata（村田有美）behind the mike. 

To be honest, I had no idea what "Poreus" meant so looking up the Cambridge Dictionary, I found out that it is the Dutch word for "porous". Not sure whether there's anything about liquid being allowed to pass through in the creation of the song, but then again, Matsuoka and Kojima may have just come up with the name out of the air rather than liquid.
